WarningIn no case shall thesamples be heated more than 50 C above the expectedsoftening point of the material, which is approximately 100 C.9.2 Transfer to the nearest 0.001 g, 2.000 g of the asphaltinto a tared 500-mL Erlenmeyer flask and record the mass ofthe asphalt, Masphalt. Allow the sample

41、 to cool if transferred byheating and pouring prior to adding the iso-octane in the ratioof 100 mL of solvent per1gofsample. Add 200 6 0.1 mL ofHPLC grade iso-octane to the sample asphalt in the 500-mLErlenmeyer flask.9.3 In a fume hood of sufficient size to accommodate allrequired components of the

42、 apparatus and supplies used toperform this procedure, assemble a reflux apparatus in accor-dance with the setup shown in Fig. 1. Place a stir bar into the500-mLErlenmeyer flask containing the sample solution. Placethe 500-mL Erlenmeyer flask on a stirrer/heater plate. Place anAllihn-type reflux con

Ensure that the reflux apparatus issecured with lab clamps to a heavy ring stand or a laboratorymounting assembly housed in the fume hood by clamping boththe neck of the 500-mL Erlenmeyer flask and the Allihn-typereflux condenser. Connect th

45、n a stirrer/heater plateuntil the solution is observed to begin to reflux. Maintain thesolution temperature near the boiling point of iso-octane(99 C). Begin to stir the contents of the flask at a moderate rateonce the solution begins to reflux. Stir the contents of the500-mL Erlenmeyer flask for 1
