2、e case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of hydrogensulfide (H2S) in gaseous fuels. I

3、t is applicable to the measure-ment of H2S in natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG),substitute natural gas, landfill gas, sewage treatment off gasses,recycle gas, flare gasses, and mixtures of fuel gases. Thismethod can also be used to measure the hydrogen sulfideconcentration in carbon dioxide

Theapplicable range is 0.1 to 16 parts per million by volume(ppm/v) (approximately 0.1 to 22 mg/m3) and may be extendedto 100 % H2S by manual or automatic volumetric dilution.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with it

8、rd using a differential colorimetric detection.Pure H2S is used as a primary standard and mixed volumetri-cally with a sulfur free matrix gas that is ideally similar incomposition to the sample gas. A gaseous sample at constantflow is humidified and passed over lead-acetate-impregnatedpaper. H2S rea

Theanalyzer is comprised of an optical system, a photon detectionsystem, a signal differentiation system of first order, and asig

10、nal output system. When there is no change in the color ofthe tape, and no resulting change in photodetector output, E,the first derivative, dE/dt, is zero. This results in an analyzerthat automatically zeroes when there is no H2S.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is useful in determining

11、the concentra-tion of hydrogen sulfide in gaseous samples and in verifyingcompliance with operational needs and/or environmental limi-tations for H2S content. The automated performance operationof this method allows unattended measurement of H2S con-centration. The user is referred to Practice D7166

An alternative H2S source is an H2S mixture obtainedusing permeation tube procedures. Hydrogen sulfide gene

Pipelinegas scrubbed through activated charcoal and sodiumhydroxide-asbestos absorbent is satisfactory.6.2.3 Gas MixturesAnother alternative H2S source is acertified H2S mixture obtained from a gas standard vendor.Such mixtures

26、are in a sulfur free carrier gas that is of the sametype, or a close approximation, as the gas to be analyzed. Thesemixtures can be either a primary standard, which is then dilutedto the desired H2S concentration using a 10-L cylinder with apiston, or a standard in a pressurized cylinder containing

27、thedesired H2S concentration. Because of the potential fordegradation, H2S mixtures obtained from a gas standardvendor must be properly stored and used only within the statedcertification period. In the event of a discrepancy, H2S mixturesprepared from a 99.5 % by volume or better purity H2S lecture

Sampling7.1 Because of the chemical activity an

35、d adsorptive proper-ties of H2S, it is highly desirable to connect the test apparatusdirectly to the sample source using minimum lengths ofstainless steel, hastalloy, aluminum or fluorocarbon samplelines. Do not use copper containing, that is, brass or copperflow system parts. In the event that dire

36、ct sampling is notpractical, clean aluminum, stainless steel, or fluorocarbon linedsample containers may be used. Tedlar bags with inert fittingssuch as polypropylene or equivalent and silica lined samplecontainers can also be used for sample collection. Tedlar bagscontaining sample require protecti

37、on from light and heat. Thecollection of samples that are either in two phases or that willform two phases before analysis can be performed must beavoided. The presence of liquids causes H2S to partitionunequally between the liquid and gas phases. Such a partitionof H2S results in inaccurate measure

38、ment of H2S content.Samples must be analyzed with as little delay as possible andreported as “proximate analyses from cylinders” with length ofresidence time noted. Because of the broad reactivity of H2S,an extended delay between obtaining the sample and analyzingthe sample can result in inaccurate

39、results.NOTE 2Each new sample container to be used for a test specimen canbe filled with a sample and analyzed over a period of time and theresulting data examined to determine the rate of deterioration of thesample. Repeated filling with a representative sample will tend topassivate a container. Ap

40、proximately 10 L (approximately13 ft3)ofsample, at atmospheric pressure, is convenient for analysis and willnormally not deteriorate appreciably within 1 h. Slow instrument responseto changes in H2S concentration indicates the need for a thorough cleaningof the flow system. (See Appendix X1 for a su

41、ggested cleaning proce-dure.) Errors caused by ambient temperature and pressure changes arecompensated for by comparison to a reference standard prepared at thetime of analysis.

Connect the pump and set theflowmeter for a nominal flow of 8 mL/s (approximately 1ft3/h). Note: analyte gas can also be delivere

Obtain a blank reading by flowing dilution gasthrough the analyzer. Record the reading of the blank sample asB in 12.1. Do not adjust the i

44、nstrument zero until verificationis obtained, that the room air or the carrier gas does not containH2S. Verification is accomplished by analyzing a room air orcarrier gas sample after it has been passed through an activatedcharcoal filter absorbent.9. Calibration9.1 Immediately after preparing the c

45、alibration standard,obtain its response on the analyzer. Practice D3609 is accept-able as an alternative method for preparation of a referencestandard. Certified compressed gas calibration standards ob-tained from a gas standard vendor can also be used to calibratethe analyzer. The analyzer response

46、 is recorded as C in 12.1.Atleast twenty (20) discrete response replicates should be ob-tained to adequately demonstrate the statistical repeatability ofthe analyzer at two times the standard deviations about themean. If the analyzer repeatability response fall outside of thepublished repeatability

47、specifications then appropriate correc-tive action must be taken and the repeatability response of theanalyzer must be redetermined.10.

Theholding time can be extended to the limits of existing datawhen hydrogen sulfide gas retention in a specific matrix isavailable.Alternatively, samples are delivered to the laboratoryin passivated/lined vessels demonstrated to not demonstratesignificant hydrogen sulfide losses in samples over 24 h. Aspart of a QA/QC program, passivated or lined vessels shouldperiodically be examined for continued hydrogen sulfide gasstability and acceptable sample carryover characteristics. Pas-sivated or lined vessels may allow for reli
