Hazards7.1 Benzene is considered a hazardous

38、material. Consultcurrent OSHA regulations and suppliers Material Safety DataSheets, and local regulations for all materials used in thismethod.8. Sampling and Handling8.1 Sampling of benzene should follow safe rules in order toadhere to all safety precautions as outlined in the latest OSHAregulation

39、s. Refer to Practices D 3437, D 4057, and D 4177 forproper sampling and handling of benzene.9. Preparation of the Apparatus9.1 The chromatographic separation of trace level sulfurcompounds can be complicated by absorption of the sulfurcompounds by the gas chromatographic system. Therefore,care shoul

40、d be taken to properly free the system of active siteswhere absorption or reactions could take place.9.2 Follow the manufacturers instructions for mountingand conditioning the column into the gas chromatograph andadjusting the instrument to conditions described in Table 1.Allow the instrument and de

41、tector sufficient time to reachequilibrium.10. Calibration Curve10.1 Prepare a 500-mL stock solution of thiophene inbenzene at approximately the 100 mg/kg level by adding 0.04g (38.0 L) of thiophene to 435 g (500 mL) of thiophene-freebenzene.10.2 Calculate the thiophene content of the stock solution

42、according to the following equation:Thiophene, mg/kg 5 A 3 103!/Bwhere:A = weight of thiophene, mg, andB = weight of benzene, g.10.3 Prepare five calibration blends ranging from 0.00 to 5.0mg/kg of thiophene in benzene by diluting the appropriateFIG. 1 Chromatogram Illustrating the Analysis of 1.10

43、mg/kg Thiophene in Benzene on an FPDD4735023volume of stock solution into a known volume of thiophene-free benzene. The user is referred to Practice D 4307 forassistance preparation of liquid blends for use as analyticalstandards.10.4 For example, an 87.0 mg/kg stock solution was pre-pared by dissol

44、ving 0.0378 g thiophene into 435 g of benzene.Aliquots of 0.00, 0.75, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mL of stock solutionwere dissolved in 100 mL of thiophene-free benzene toproduce 0.00, 0.65, 0.87, 1.75, and 4.35 mg/kg, respectively.10.5 Inject an appropriate amount of each solution (4.0-Lfor packed column or

45、1.0-L for capillary column) into the gaschromatograph. Integrate the area under the thiophene peak.Each standard solution and the blank should be analyzed intriplicate. Injection volumes shall be consistent and reproduc-ible.10.6 Prepare a calibration curve by plotting the integratedpeak area versus

46、 milligram per kilogram of thiophene.NOTE 1In the sulfur mode, the FPD will exhibit a response that is anonlinear power law function. Please refer to Practice E 840 for additionalinformation on the characteristics and usage of the FPD. A data systemthat can produce a quadratic curve fit for the cali

47、bration range can beutilized for quantification. The PFPD (and some FPDs) can produce asignal representing the square root of the detector response. This can resultin a linearized output and a linear calibration curve which can also be usedfor quantitation.11. Procedure11.1 Inject an appropriate amo

48、unt of each sample into thegas chromatograph (4.0-L for packed columns and 1.0-L forcapillary columns).11.2 Measure the area of the thiophene peak. The measure-ment of the sample peak should be consistent with the methodfor measuring peak areas in the calibration standards. A typicalchromatogram is
