Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.e1NOTEWarning notes were editorially moved into the standard text in March 2003.1. Scope

3、1.1 This test method covers the determination of traces ofcarbonyl sulfide (COS) in propylene. It is applicable to COSconcentrations from 0.5 to 4.0 mg/kg (parts per million bymass). See Note 1.NOTE 1The lower limit of this test method is believed to be below 0.1mg/kg, depending on sample size and s

4、ensitivity of the instrumentationbeing used. However, the cooperative testing program was conducted inthe 0.5 to 4.0 range due to limitations in preparing commercial testmixtures.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of

5、thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Summary of Test Method3.1

7、 A procedure is given for removing a sample from thesample cylinder, separating COS from propylene, detectingCOS, calibrating the detector, quantitating COS content in thesample, and assaying the gas standard. General comments andrecommended techniques are given.3.2 A relatively large volume of samp

8、le is injected into a gaschromatograph having a single packed column, operated iso-thermally at 10 to 50C, that separates COS from propylene.COS is detected with a flame photometric detector.3.3 Calibration data, based on peak areas, are obtained usinga known gas standard blend of COS in the range e

9、xpected forthe sample. The COS peak area in the sample is measured andthe concentration of COS calculated.3.4 The COS gas standard blend is assayed prior to use forcalibration.4. Significance and Use4.1 In processes producing propylene, COS usually remainswith the C3hydrocarbons and must be removed,

10、 since it affectsproduct quality. COS acts as a poison to commercial polymer-ization catalysts, resulting in deactivation and costly processdowntime.4.2 Accurate gas chromatographic determination of traceCOS in propylene involves unique analytical problems becauseof the chemical nature of COS and id

11、iosyncracies of trace levelanalyses. These problems result from the reactive and absorp-tive nature of COS, the low concentration levels being mea-sured, the type of detector needed, and the interferences fromthe propylene sample matrix. This test method addresses theseanalytical problems and ways t

12、o properly handle them to assureaccurate and precise analyses.4.3 This test method provides a basis for agreement betweentwo laboratories when the determination of trace COS inpropylene is important. The test method permits severalcalibration techniques. For best agreement between two labs, itis rec

13、ommended that they use the same calibration technique.5. Interferences5.1 Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or sulfur dioxide (SO2) can bepresent in the propylene and must be separated from COS. (SeeNote 2.)1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products and Lubricants an

Sampling9.1 Supply samples to the laboratory in high pressurecylinders coated internally with TFE-fluorocarbon, or other-wise specially treated to reduce or eliminate loss of COS dueto reaction with the cylinde

26、r walls.9.2 The sample cylinder and contents should be at roomtemperature prior to sampling to the chromatograph. Testsamples as soon as possible after receipt.NOTE 3Cooperative studies indicate that the measured value for COSwill decrease with time.9.3 Place the sample cylinder in a vertical positi

27、on and useeither of the following two techniques to obtain a vaporizedsample from the container for introduction into the GC.9.3.1 Connect the sample cylinder to the sampling valve onthe chromatograph, using a minimum length of 316 ss tubing,so that sample is withdrawn from the bottom of the cylinde

28、r.Adjust the flow rate from the sample cylinder so that completevaporization of the liquid occurs at the cylinder valve. A flowrate of 5 to 10 bubbles/s through a water bubbler placed at thesample vent is sufficient (see Note 4). Turn the sampling valveto the “flush” position and flush for approxima

29、tely 15 s. Shutoff the cylinder valve and allow the pressure to drop toatmospheric.NOTE 4If the flow rate is too fast, warming of the valve can berequired to avoid freezing and to ensure complete vaporization of thesample.9.3.2 Alternatively, obtain a sample with a gas tight syringe.A convenient way

30、 to do this is to use flexible plastic tubing toconnect the bottom of the sample cylinder to the water bubblerand then to pierce the tubing with the syringe needle after flowis established.TABLE 1 Suitable GC Columns and TemperaturesAColumnNumberSize, m 3 mm TubingBTypePacking and OvenTemperature, C

Setthe instrument conditions as follows:10.1.1 Oven Temperature, as determined by column used,10.1.2 Detector, 100 to 200C, and10.1.3

35、Injector, 100 to 150C.11. Calibration11.1 Three methods of calibration are permitted. These arethe Standard Sample Method (see 11.2), the Permeation TubeMethod (see 11.3) and Blend Preparation Techniques (see11.4). Obtain a calibration standard according to one of thesemethods, which are described b

36、elow. Then follow the proce-dure in 12.1-12.4 and the calculations described in 11.5.11.2 Standard Sample MethodPurchase a certified com-mercial calibration sample of 10 mg/kg COS in propylene, orother suitable matrix gas such as nitrogen, argon, or apropylene/argon mixture. If an inert gas is chose

37、n, the usermust ensure that the column is actually effecting a separation ofCOS and propylene. Establish a calibration curve with thestandard sample using either a gas syringe or different sizesample loops. For example, assume the normal sample size forthe analysis is 1.0 mL and the calibration rang

38、e to beestablished is 0.5 to 5 mg/kg of COS. Establish a calibrationcurve by injecting the volumes of a 10 mg/kg standard sampleshown in the first column of the table below. The equivalentconcentration of COS in a 1.0 mL sample would be that shownin the second column:Standard Sample Equivalent Conce

40、 Appendix X1 and Appendix X2.Also, a technique using a moving piston graduated cylinderapparatus, that is described in the calibration section of TestMethod D 4468, can be used. However, some laboratories havefound that the preparation of such blends is far from easy, andsuccessful efforts require c

41、onsiderable knowledge and experi-ence.11.5 QuantitationThe flame photometric detector re-sponds logarithmically to the mass of the sulfur present in theflame. Some GC/FPD systems are programmed to linearizelogarithmic data, and with such systems the output can becorrelated directly with the COS conc

42、entration, using a singlepoint calibration. Calculate a calibration factor, F, in accor-dance with (Eq 1) below:F 5 C/A (1)where:F = calibration factor,C = concentration, mg/kg, of COS in this test method, andA = area (uVs) of the COS peak in this test method.F will be used in (Eq 2) in 13.1.1. Howe

43、ver, if a linearizer isnot used, or if the data system does not have a provision tohandle logarithmic output, use the method in 11.5.1 or thealternate in 11.5.2, below:11.5.1 Calculate the nanogram (ng) amounts of sulfur, asdescribed in Appendix X3, for each injection of the standard,and plot the na

44、tural logarithm (1n) of peak area versus the 1n(ng) of sulfur, as illustrated in Table 2 and Fig. 1. The plotshould be a straight line.11.5.2 Alternatively, plot the concentration of COS inmg/kg versus the square root of the peak area. This plot shouldalso be a straight line.12. Procedure12.1 Using

45、either the gas sampling valve or a gas tightsyringe, as described in 9.3, inject the sample into the gaschromatograph.12.2 Record the response of the FPD on the strip chartrecorder as the COS elutes from the column.12.3 Alternatively, obtain the computer or integrator outputof COS retention time and

46、 peak area.12.4 Obtain duplicate chromatograms of the sample. Fig. 2illustrates a typical analysis using a Carbopack BHT-100column.13. Calculation13.1 Depending on the method of calibration used (seeSection 11), determine the concentration of COS in the sample.13.1.1 If the system provides a lineari

47、zed output, determineCOS concentration according to (Eq 2), below:COS, mg/kg 5 F 3 S (2)where:F = calibration factor from (Eq 1), andS = area (uVs) of the COS peak from the sample.13.1.2 If a calibration curve of 1n peak area versus 1n (ng)sulfur was used (see 11.5.1), then determine the concentrati
