1、Designation: D 5762 05An American National StandardStandard Test Method forNitrogen in Petroleum and Petroleum Products by Boat-InletChemiluminescence1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5762; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption o

2、r, in the 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 determination of nitrogen inliquid hydrocarbons,

3、 including petroleum process streams andlubricating oils in the concentration range from 40 to 10 000g/g nitrogen. For light hydrocarbons containing less than 100g/g nitrogen, Test Method D 4629 can be more appropriate.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units o

4、f measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of 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 regulato

Summary of Test Method3.1 A hydrocarbon sample is placed on a sample boat atroom tempe

7、rature. The sample and boat are advanced into ahigh-temperature combustion tube where the nitrogen is oxi-dized to nitric oxide (NO) in an oxygen atmosphere. The NOcontacts ozone and is converted to excited nitrogen dioxide(NO2). The light emitted as the excited NO2decays is detectedby a photomultip

8、lier tube, and the resulting signal is a measureof the nitrogen contained in the sample.4. Significance and Use4.1 Many nitrogen compounds can contaminate refinerycatalysts. They tend to be the most difficult class of compoundsto hydrogenate, so the nitrogen content remaining in theproduct of a hydr

9、otreator is a measure of the effectiveness ofthe hydrotreating process. In lubricating oils the concentrationof nitrogen is a measure of the presence of nitrogen containingadditives. This test method is intended for use in plant controland in research.5. Apparatus5.1 Boat Inlet System, capable of be

10、ing sealed to the inlet ofthe combustion tube and swept with inert gas. The boats arefabricated from platinum or quartz. To aid quantitative liquidinjection, add a small piece of quartz wool to the boat. The boatdrive mechanism should be able to fully insert the boat into thefurnace tube inlet secti

11、on. A drive mechanism that advancesand withdraws the sample boat into and out of the furnace at acontrolled and repeatable rate is required.5.2 Chemiluminescence Detector, capable of measuringlight emitted from the reaction between nitric oxide and ozone,and containing a variable attenuation amplifi

12、er, integrator, andreadout.NOTE 1Detectors designed to maintain the chemiluminescence reac-tion cell at reduced pressure are acceptable for use and were included inthe instruments used to determine the precision of this test method.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 on
