7、e for Sampling Industrial Chemicals3. Summary of Test Method3.1 An internal standard, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), isadded to the material and then introduced into a gas chromato-graph equipped with two columns connected in series. Thespecimen passes first through a column packed with thenonpolar phas

8、e, methyl silicone, which separates the compo-nents by boiling point. After octane has eluted, the flowthrough the nonpolar column is reversed, flushing out thecomponents heavier than octane. The octane and lightercomponents then pass through a column with the highly polarphase, 1,2,3-tris(2-cyanoet

9、hoxy)propane, that separates thearomatic and nonaromatic compounds. The eluted componentsare detected by a conventional detector and recorded on a stripchart. The peak areas are measured and the concentration ofeach component is calculated by reference to the internalstandard.4. Significance and Use

10、4.1 Benzene is classed as a toxic and carcinogenic material.A knowledge of the concentration of this compound may be anaid in evaluating the possible health hazards to personshandling and using hydrocarbon solvents, but this test methodis not intended to evaluate such hazards.5.

Dissolve5 g of the methyl silicone in approximately 50 mL ofchloroform. (WarningChloroform is

24、 a toxic material andinhalation must be avoided.) Pour the methyl siliconechloro-form solution into the flask containing the support. Attach theflask to the evaporator (see 5.9), connect the vacuum, and startthe motor. Turn on the infrared lamp and allow the packing tomix thoroughly until dry.9.1.2

Hold or mount thestainless steel tubing in an upright position and place a beakerunde

27、r the outlet end of the tubing. Pour about 50 mL ofmethylene chloride into the funnel and allow it to drain throughthe steel tubing into the beaker. Repeat the washing with 50 mLof acetone. Remove the funnel and connect the steel tubing toan air line, by means of vinyl tubing. Remove all solvent fro

Preparation of Chromatographic Apparatus andEstablishment of Conditions10.1 Column ConditioningJoin Columns A and B asshown in Fig. 1. Connect the inlet of Column A to the injectionport of the chromatograph. P

36、ass helium gas through the columnat approximately 40 mL/min. Condition the columns in accor-dance with the following time-temperature schedule.Temperature, C Time, h501210012150 1170 310.2 Connect the outlet of Column B to the detector port.Adjust the operating conditions to those listed in Table 1,

37、 butdo not turn on the detector circuits. Check the system for leaks.10.3 Adjust the flow rate as follows:10.3.1 Set the value in the forward flow mode (Fig. 2(a)and adjust Flow Controller A to give the required flow rate(Table 1). Measure the flow rate at the detector vent, specimenside.10.3.2 Set

38、the valve in the backflush position (Fig. 2(b) andmeasure the flow rate at the detector vent, specimen side. If therate has changed, adjust Flow Controller B to obtain therequired flow rate to within 61 mL/min.10.3.3 Turn on the detector circuit. Change the valve fromforward flow to the backflush po

39、sition several times andobserve the baseline. There should be no baseline shift or driftafter the initial peak resulting from the pressure surge with thevalve change. If there is a baseline shift, slightly increase ordecrease flow with Controller B to balance the baseline. (Apersistent drift indicat

40、es leaks somewhere in the system.)10.4 Determine time before backflushing, which varies foreach column system and must be determined experimentally asfollows:10.4.1 Prepare a mixture of 5 volume % isooctane inn-nonane. Using the injection technique described in 11.3 andwith the system in the forward

41、 flow mode, inject 1 L of theisooctanen-nonane mixture. Allow the chromatogram to rununtil the n-nonane has eluted and the recorder pen has returnedto baseline. Measure the time in seconds from the injectionuntil the recorder pen returns to baseline between the isooctaneand n-nonane peaks. At this p

42、oint all of the isooctane butessentially none of the n-nonane should have eluted. One halfof the measured time approximates the time to backflush andshould be from 30 to 120 s.10.4.2 Repeat the run, including the injection, but switchingthe system to the backflush mode at the determined backflushtim

43、e. This should result in a chromatogram of isooctane withlittle or no n-nonane evident.10.4.3 If necessary, make additional runs, adjusting the timeto backflush until a chromatogram of all the isooctane and littleor none of the n-nonane is obtained. This established backflushtime, including the actu

44、al valve operations, must be used in allsubsequent calibrations and analyses.11.

46、ibration SolutionsAccurately measure 0.5 mL ofMEK into a 100-mL volumetric flask, fill to the mark with thefirst standard solution (see 11.1), and mix thoroughly. Repeatwith each of the other standard solutions.11.3 Chromatographic AnalysisUsing the conditions es-tablished in 10.3 and 10.4, chromato

47、graph each of the calibra-tion solutions after injecting them as follows: Flush the 5-Lmicrosyringe at least three times with the calibration solutionand then fill with about 3 L, avoiding inclusion of air bubblesin the syringe. Slowly eject the material until 1.0 L remains inthe syringe. Wipe the n

48、eedle with a tissue and draw back theplunger to admit 1 L of air into the syringe. Insert the needleof the syringe into the septum cap of the chromatograph andpush through the septum until the barrel of the syringe isresting against the septum cap; then rapidly push the plunger tothe hilt and immedi

49、ately withdraw the needle from the injec-tion port.NOTE 3This injection technique is necessary to obtain sharp sym-metrical peaks.11.4 CalibrationMeasure the areas of the benzene and ofMEK peaks by conventional means (Note 4). Calculate theratio of the benzene peak area to the MEK peak area. Plot theconcentration of benzene versus the ratio as in Fig. 3. Thecalibration must be done to ensure that the entire chromato-graphic system is operating properly and that the concentrationof any one component has not exceeded the linear responserange of any
