Summary of Test Method3.1 A

8、hydrocarbon sample is placed on a sample boat atroom temperature. 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 em

9、itted as the excited NO2decays is detectedby a photomultiplier 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,

10、 so the nitrogen content remaining in theproduct of a hydrotreator 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

11、 research.5. Apparatus5.1 Boat Inlet System, capable of being sealed to the inlet ofthe combustion tube and swept with inert gas. The boats arefabricated from platinum or quartz. To aid quantitative liquidinjection, it is recommended to add a small piece of quartzwool or suitable equivalent (see 6.8

12、) to the boat. The boat drivemechanism should be able to fully insert the boat into thefurnace tube inlet section. 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 measur
