1、Designation: D5291 10Standard Test Methods forInstrumental Determination of Carbon, Hydrogen, andNitrogen in Petroleum Products and Lubricants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5291; 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 () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 These test methods cover the instrumental determinationof carbon, hydrogen, and nitrog

3、en in laboratory samples ofpetroleum products and lubricants. Values obtained representthe total carbon, the total hydrogen, and the total nitrogen.1.2 These test methods are applicable to samples such ascrude oils, fuel oils, additives, and residues for carbon andhydrogen and nitrogen analysis. The

4、se test methods weretested in the concentration range of at least 75 to 87 mass % forcarbon, at least 9 to 16 mass % for hydrogen, and 0.1 to 2mass % for nitrogen.1.3 The nitrogen test method is not applicable to lightmaterials or those containing 0.75 mass % nitrogen, or both,such as gasoline, jet

5、fuel, naphtha, diesel fuel, or chemicalsolvents.1.3.1 However, using Test Method D levels of 0.1 mass%nitrogen in lubricants could be determined.1.4 These test methods are not recommended for the analy-sis of volatile materials such as gasoline, gasoline-oxygenateblends, or gasoline type aviation tu

6、rbine fuels.1.5 The results of these tests can be expressed as mass %carbon, hydrogen or nitrogen.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if an

Summary of Test Methods3.1 In these test methods, carbon, hydroge

9、n, and nitrogenare determined concurrently in a single instrumental procedure.With some systems, the procedure consists of simply weighinga portion of the sample, placing the portion in the instrument,and initiating the (subsequently automatic) analytical process.In other systems, the analytical pro

10、cess, to some degree, ismanually controlled.3.2 The actual process can vary substantially from instru-ment to instrument, since a variety of means can be utilized toeffect the primary requirements of the test methods. Allsatisfactory processes provide for the following:3.2.1 The conversion of the su

11、bject materials (in theirentirety) to carbon dioxide, water vapor, and elemental nitro-gen, respectively, and3.2.2 The subsequent, quantitative determination of thesegases in an appropriate gas stream.3.3 The conversion of the subject materials to their corre-sponding gases takes place largely durin

12、g combustion of thesample at an elevated temperature in an atmosphere of purifiedoxygen. Here, a variety of gaseous materials are produced,including the following:3.3.1 Carbon dioxide from the oxidation of organic andelemental carbon,3.3.2 Hydrogen halides from organic halides (and organichydrogen,

13、as required),3.3.3 Water vapor from the oxidation of (the remaining)organic hydrogen and the liberation of moisture,3.3.4 Nitrogen and nitrogen oxides from the oxidation oforganic nitrogen, and3.3.5 Sulfur oxides from the oxidation of organic sulfur. Insome systems, sulfurous and sulfuric acids can

14、also be obtainedfrom a combination of the sulfur oxides and the water vapor.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products and Lubricants and are the direct responsibility of Subcommit-tee D02.03 on Elemental Analysis.Current edition approved May 1, 2010.

17、dgaseous products and quantitatively determining them. Theseare as follows:3.4.1 Test Method A3,4From the combustion product gasstream, oxides of sulfur are removed with calcium oxide in thesecondary combustion zone. A portion of the remaining mixedgases is carried by helium gas over a hot copper tr

18、ain to removeoxygen, and reduce NOxto N2, over NaOH to remove CO2,and over magnesium perchlorate to remove H2O. The remain-ing elemental nitrogen is measured by the thermal conductivitycell. Simultaneously, but separately from the nitrogen measure-ment, the carbon and hydrogen selective infrared cel

19、ls measurethe CO2and H2O levels.3.4.2 Test Method B4,5 From the combustion product gasstream (which is cleaned from sulfur oxides, excess oxygen,etc. as in 3.4.1), the remaining CO2, water vapor, and N2areflushed into a mixing chamber and are thoroughly homog-enized at a precise volume, temperature,

20、 and pressure. Afterhomogenization, the chamber is depressurized to allow thegases to pass through a heated column, where the gasesseparate as a function of selective retention times. The sepa-ration occurs in a stepwise steady-state manner for nitrogen,carbon dioxide, and water.3.4.3 Test Method C4

21、,6The combustion product gasstream, after full oxidation of component gases, is passed overheated copper to remove excess oxygen and reduce NOxto N2gas. The gases are then passed through a heated chromato-graphic column to separate and elute N2,CO2, and H2O in thatorder. The individual eluted gases

22、are measured by a thermalconductivity detector.3.4.4 Test Method D4,7The organic samples are packedinto lightweight containers of oxidizable metal and dropped atpreset times into a vertical quartz, inconel, or stainless steelreactor, heated at about 1050C, through which a constant flowof helium is m

23、aintained. When the samples are introduced, thehelium stream is temporarily enriched with pure oxygen. Flashcombustion takes place primed by the oxidation of the con-tainer. Quantitative combustion is then achieved by passing thegases over chromium trioxide and cupric oxide. The mixture ofthe combus

24、tion gases is transferred over copper at about 640C(840C in a steel reactor) to eliminate the excess of oxygen;then without stopping, it is introduced into the chromato-graphic column heated to about 120C (50C for Flash EA1112 units). The individual components are then separated byelution in the ord

25、er nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water by adedicated Poropak column (active carbon column for Flash EA1112 units for nitrogen determination) and measured by athermal conductivity detector. With dedicated software thepercentage of elements present in the sample are calculated.The instrument is calibr

26、ated with standard pure organic com-pounds. K-factors or linear regression can be used for instru-ment calibration. The typical operator analysis time for a singlesample is about 4 min, and the total elapsed time is 8 min.3.5 In all cases, the concentrations of carbon, hydrogen andnitrogen are calcu

27、lated as functions of the following:3.5.1 The measured instrumental responses,3.5.2 The values for response per unit mass for the elements(established via instrument calibration), and3.5.3 The mass of the sample.3.6 A capability for performing these computations auto-matically can be included in the

28、 instrumentation utilized forthese test methods.4. Significance and Use4.1 This is the first ASTM standard covering the simulta-neous determination of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen inpetroleum products and lubricants.4.2 Carbon, hydrogen, and particularly nitrogen analysesare useful in determining

29、the complex nature of sample typescovered by this test method. The CHN results can be used toestimate the processing and refining potentials and yields in thepetrochemical industry.4.3 The concentration of nitrogen is a measure of thepresence of nitrogen containing additives. Knowledge of itsconcent

30、ration can be used to predict performance. Somepetroleum products also contain naturally occurring nitrogen.Knowledge of hydrogen content in samples is helpful inaddressing their performance characteristics. Hydrogen tocarbon ratio is useful to assess the performance of upgradingprocesses.5. Apparat
