1、Designation: D 5236 03An American National StandardStandard Test Method forDistillation of Heavy Hydrocarbon Mixtures (Vacuum PotstillMethod)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5236; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the

2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the procedure for distillation ofheavy hydrocarbon mixtures h

3、aving initial boiling pointsgreater than 150C (300F), such as heavy crude oils, petro-leum distillates, residues, and synthetic mixtures. It employs apotstill with a low pressure drop entrainment separator oper-ated under total takeoff conditions. Distillation conditions andequipment performance cri

4、teria are specified and typical appa-ratus is illustrated.1.2 This test method details the procedures for the produc-tion of distillate fractions of standardized quality in the gas oiland lubricating oil range as well as the production of standardresidue. In addition, it provides for the determinati

5、on ofstandard distillation curves to the highest atmospheric equiva-lent temperature possible by conventional distillation.1.3 The maximum achievable atmospheric equivalent tem-perature (AET) is dependent upon the heat tolerance of thecharge. For most samples, a temperature up to 565C (1050F)can be

6、attained. This maximum will be significantly lower forheat sensitive samples (for example, heavy residues) and mightbe somewhat higher for nonheat sensitive samples.1.4 The recommended distillation method for crude oils upto cutpoint 400C (752F) AET is Test Method D 2892. Thistest method can be used

7、 for heavy crude oils with initial boilingpoints greater than 150C (302F). However, distillation curvesand fraction qualities obtained by these methods are notcomparable.1.5 This test method contains the following annexes:1.5.1 Annex A1Test Method for Determination of Tem-perature Response Time,1.5.

Summary of Test Method4.1 A weighed volume of sample is distilled at absolutepressures between 6.6 and 0.013 kPa (50 and 0.1 mm Hg) atspecified distillation rates. Cuts are taken at preselected tem-peratures. Records of vapor temperature, operating

24、 pressure,and other variables are made at intervals, including at eachcutpoint.4.2 The mass of each fraction is obtained. Distillation yieldsby mass are calculated from the mass of each fraction relativeto the total mass recovery.4.3 The density of each fraction is obtained. Distillationyields by vo

25、lume are calculated from the volume computed foreach fraction at 15C (59F) relative to the total recovery.4.4 Distillation curves of temperature versus mass or vol-ume percent, or both, are drawn using the data from 4.2 and4.3.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is one of a number of tests c

26、onductedon heavy hydrocarbon mixtures to characterize these materialsfor a refiner or a purchaser. It provides an estimate of the yieldsof fractions of various boiling ranges.5.2 The fractions made by this test method can be usedalone or in combination with other fractions to producesamples for anal

27、ytical studies and quality evaluations.5.3 Residues to be used in the manufacture of asphalt canalso be made but may not always be suitable. The long heatsoaking that occurs in this test method may alter some of theproperties.NOTE 1While the practice of reblending distillates with residue canbe done

28、 to produce a lighter residue, it is not recommended because itproduces blends with irregular properties.5.4 Details of cutpoints must be mutually agreed uponbefore the test begins.5.5 This is a complex procedure involving many interactingvariables. It is most important that at the time of first use

29、 of anew apparatus, its components be checked as detailed inAnnexA1 and Annex A2 and that the location of the vapor tempera-ture sensor be verified as detailed in 6.5.3 and Fig. 1.6. Apparatus6.1 Four sizes of apparatus, based upon the internal diam-eter of the distillation head (25, 36, 50, and 70

30、mm), areallowed.6The apparatus (see Fig. 2) consists of a flask withheating mantles, an upper compensator, and a head containingan entrainment separator. Attached to the head are the vaportemperature sensor, a connection for the vacuum gage, acondenser, a rundown line, a product receiver(s), and a v

31、acuumpumping line with pump. The parts are connected by vacuum-tight joints to facilitate servicing.6.2 Distillation Flask:6.2.1 The sizes specified for flasks are at least 50 % largerthan the size of the charge to provide space for suppression offoam and for bubble breaking. The size of the charge

32、for eachsize of still is determined from the loading factor. Therecommended loading factor is between 200 and 400 mL ofcharge per square centimetre of cross sectional area in the neckof the head. Table 1 shows the range of charge volume that isrecommended with each size of apparatus.6.2.2 Flasks are

33、 made of borosilicate glass except thoselarger than 10 L, which are made of stainless steel for reasonsof safety.6.2.3 The flask is fitted with a thermowell reaching to within6 mm of the bottom and offset from the center to avoid astirring bar. In the case of glass flasks, the bottom shall beslightl

34、y flattened or slightly concave, but not perfectly flat tofacilitate the rotation of the magnetic stirrer. Steel flasks canhave a cooling coil for rapid quenching of the distillation in anemergency. Fig. 3 shows a typical example.6Cooke, Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Vol 55, 1963, p. 36.D523

The drive can be used tosupport the apparatus above.An adjustable jacking mechanismis recommended for raising and lowering the stirrer.6.4 Heating System:6.4.1 The flask shall be heated by means of a nickelreinf

37、orced quartz fabric heating mantle on the lower half sothat boiling rates of up to 150 mL/h per cm2of the crosssectional area of the neck can be maintained. A heat density of0.5 W/cm2is adequate. Usually two or more circuits are usedto improve heat control by applying automatic heat to thebottom cir

38、cuit.6.4.2 Atemperature sensor shall be located between the wallof the flask and the mantle for control of the skin temperature.6.4.3 The upper half of the flask shall be covered with amantle to compensate for heat losses. A heat density of 0.2W/cm2is adequate.6.5 Distilling Head:6.5.1 The head shal

40、of maintaining the outerwall of the glass vacuum jacket at a temperature 5C below theinternal vapor temperature in the head. For this purpose thevacuum jacket shall have a temperature sensor fastened to theouter wall of the jacket at a point level with the vaportemperature sensor and opposite to the

41、 outlet arm of the head.6.5.3 The head shall be fitted with an adapter to support thevapor temperature sensor so that it is held centered in the neckwith the top of the sensing tip 3 6 1 mm below the spilloverpoint.

By feeling for thespillover point, the distance from the top joint of the adaptorcan be found. Laying the wire on the temperature sensor willthen permit checking of this dimension.6.5

44、.4 The vapor temperature sensor shall be either a plati-num resistance thermometer, a thermocouple with the junctionhead fused to the lower tip of the well or any other devicewhich meets the requirements in 6.5.4 and 6.5.4.1.

(WarningVapor temperature measurement isone of the two major sources of error in distillation data.)6.5.4.3 Verification of the calibration of the vapor tempera-ture measuring devices is to be made on a regular basis.Verification at least once a month is recommended.

48、Verificationof the calibration of the sensors can be accomplished poten-tiometrically by the use of standard precision resistance or bydistilling a pure compound with accurately known boilingpoint, as described in A2.2.3.6.5.5 Ahead trap as illustrated in Fig. 4 shall be fitted to theadapter describ
