1、Designation: D 5836 08Standard Test Method forDetermination of 2,4-Toluene Diisocyanate (2,4-TDI) and 2,6-Toluene Diisocyanate (2,6-TDI) in Workplace Atmospheres(1-2 PP Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5836; the number immediately following the designation indicates the

2、year oforiginal adoption or, 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. Scope1.1 This test method describes the determination of 2,4

3、-toluene diisocyanate (2,4-TDI) and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate(2,6-TDI) in air samples collected from workplace atmo-spheres in a cassette containing a glass-fiber filter impregnatedwith 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine (1-2 PP). This procedure is veryeffective for determining the vapor content of atmospheres.

4、Atmospheres containing aerosols cause TDI results to beunderestimated.1.2 This test method uses a high-performance liquid chro-matograph (HPLC) equipped with a fluorescence or an ultra-violet (UV) detector (1-4).2,31.3 The validated range of the test method, as written, isfrom 1.4 to 5.6 g of 2,4-TD

5、I and 2,6-TDI which is equivalentto approximately 9.8 to 39 ppb for 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI basedon a 20-L air sample. The HPLC method using an UV detectoris capable of detecting 0.078 g of 2,4-TDI and 0.068 g of2,6-TDI in a 4.0-mL solvent volume, which is equivalent to0.55 ppb for 2,4-TDI and 0.48 ppb

6、for 2,6-TDI based on a 20-Lair sample.1.4 The isomers of 2,4-TDI, and 2,6-TDI, can be separatedutilizing a reversed phase column for the HPLC method.Because industrial applications employ an isomeric mixture of2,4- and 2,6-TDI, the ability to achieve this separation isimportant.1.5 The values stated

7、 in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 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 h

Summary of Test Method4.1 A known volume of air is drawn through a cassettecontaining a glass-fiber filter impregnated with 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine. The diisocyanate reacts with the secondaryamine to form a urea derivative.4.2 The coated glass

11、-fiber filter is extracted with acetonitrile(ACN) containing 10 % dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and theextract is analyzed by HPLC. The eluent is monitored with afluorescence detector (240-nm excitation, 370-nm emissioncutoff filter) or a UV detector (254 nm).4.3 The amount of the urea derivative collec

12、ted is deter-mined by comparison of sample response (peak area integra-tions or peak heights) to a standard calibration curve for theurea derivative.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D22 on AirQuality and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D22.04 on Workplace Ai

Signi

16、ficance and Use5.1 Diisocyanates are used in the production of polyure-thane foams, plastics, elastomers, surface coatings, and adhe-sives (5,6). It has been estimated that the production of TDIwill steadily increase during the future years.5.2 Diisocyanates are irritants to eyes, skin, and mucousme

17、mbrane and are respiratory sensitizers. Chronic exposure tolow concentrations of diisocyanates produces an allergic sen-sitization which may progress into asthmatic bronchitis (7,8).5.3 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) has a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for 2,4-TDI of0.02

18、ppm or 0.14 mg/m3as a ceiling limit. There is no OSHAPEL for 2,6TDI (9). The American Conference of Govern-mental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has a timeweightedaverage (TWA) Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 0.005 ppm or0.036 mg/m3and a short-term exposure limit (STEL) of 0.02ppm or 0.14 mg/m3for eit

19、her 2,4TDI, or 2,6TDI, or for amixture of 2,4 and 2,6TDI(10).5.4 This proposed test method has been found satisfactoryfor measuring 2,4 and 2,6-TDI levels in the workplace.6. Interferences6.1 Any compound having the same retention time as thestandards is a possible interference. Generally, chromato-

20、graphic conditions can be altered to resolve an interference.6.2 Compounds that can react with an isocyanate representa potential interference. These would include molecules con-taining the functional groups: amines, alcohols, anhydrides,phenols, and carboxylic acids.6.3 Strong oxidizing agents can

21、potentially react with the1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine.6.4 Retention time data on a single column is not definitiveproof of chemical identity. Analysis by an alternate columnsystem, ratioing of wavelength response using two wave-lengths or types of detector, should be performed to confirmchemical identit

Sampling10.1 Refer to Practices D 1357 and D 3686 for generalinformation on sampling.10.2 Equip the work

38、er, whose exposure is to be evaluated,with a filter holder connected to a belt-supported samplingpump. Collect personal samples by pointing the samplerdownward in the breathing zone of the worker and remove thetop for open-face sampling. Draw air through the filter at acalibrated rate of approximate

39、ly 1.0 L/min and collect amaximum air sample of 15 L.

Openthem in the environment to be sampled and immediately closeand place with the samples

40、to be sent to the laboratory foranalysis. Provide an unopened, unused cassette assembly as alaboratory blank. Submit at least one laboratory blank and onefield blank with each set of samples.11. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 Glass-Fiber FilterPrepare a fresh solution of 2mg/mL of 1-(2-pyridyl)piperaz

41、ine (8.11) in methylene chlorideevery time a batch of filters is to be coated. In an exhaust hood,set several glass-fiber filters on an appropriate holder, one thatwill support and not contaminate the filters. Using a pipet thatwill deliver 0.5 mL, place 0.5 mL in the center of each filter.The liqui

42、d will just wet the filter; allow the filters to air-dry inthe hood for several minutes. Place the filters in a jar that islarge enough for the filters to lie flat. Place the jar in anunheated vacuum oven for 1 h (about 20-in. Hg vacuum) toremove residual methylene chloride. Install the top on the j

43、arand store in a refrigerator until ready for use. Coated filtersmay be stored for up to six months if they are stored in smallsealed jars in a refrigerator (4C). The filters should not bestored at ambient temperature for more a day or two.11.2 CassetteAssemble the three-piece cassette, insertingthe

44、 cellulose backup pad into the bottom, adding an impreg-nated filter, and installing the ring and top. Seal the assemblyagainst air leakage by a wrap of masking tape or celluloseshrink bands, covering the crevice between the ring andbottom. Close the inlet and outlet openings of the cassette withpla

Calibration and Standardization12.1 Sample Pump CalibrationCalibrate the personalsampling pumps in accordance with Practice D 3686,attherecommended flow rate with an assembled cassette betweenthe pump and the flow-measuring device. Calibrate the pumpbefore and after the sampling. If t

46、he postcalibration flow ratevaries more than 65 % from the precalibration flow rate,invalidate the sample.12.2 Standardization:12.2.1 Prepare a stock standard solution as micrograms ofTDIP per millilitre of dimethyl sulfoxide. Express the TDIP asthe free TDI. Multiply the amount of TDIP by the corre

47、ctionfactor derived from the ratios of the respective molecularweights of the TDI and TDIP. The factor is 0.3479 for TDI.12.2.2 Prepare working standards by diluting the stockstandard with acetonitrile.12.2.3 Prepare dilution standards at the necessary concen-trations by diluting working standards w
