Terminology3.1 See Terminology D4790 for definitions of terms used in this test method.3.2 Mixed xylenes are a mixture of C8 aromatics including m-xylene, o-xylene, and p-xylene. Industry convention includesethylbenzene as a mixed xylene though

18、ethylbenzene is not technically a xylene. Styrene is excluded.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A repeatable volume of the specimen to be analyzed is precisely injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with a flameionization detector (FID). The peak area of each impurity is measured. Concentration of ea

19、ch impurity is determined from thelinear calibration curve of peak area versus concentration. Purity by gas chromatography (GC) is calculated by subtracting the sumof the impurities found from 100.00. Results are reported in weight percent.5. Significance and Use5.1 Determining the type and amount o

20、f hydrocarbon impurities remaining from the manufacture of toluene, mixed xylenes, andp-xylenes used as chemical intermediates and solvents is often required. This test method is suitable for setting specifications andfor use as an internal quality control tool where these products are produced or a

21、re used. Typical impurities are: alkanes containing1 to 10 carbons atoms, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene (EB), xylenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons containing nine carbon atoms.5.2 Purity is commonly reported by subtracting the determined expected impurities from 100.00. However, a gas chromato-graphi

22、c analysis cannot determine absolute purity if unknown or undetected components are contained within the material beingexamined.5.3 This test method is similar to Test Method D2360, however, interlaboratory testing has indicated a bias may exist betweenthe two methods. Therefore the user is cautione

23、d that the two methods may not give comparable results.6. Interferences6.1 In some cases for mixed xylenes and p-xylene, it may be difficult to resolve benzene from the nonaromatic hydrocarbons.Therefore the concentrations are determined as a composite. In the event that the benzene concentration mu

24、st be determined, analternate method such as Test Method D6526 must be selected to ensure an accurate assessment of the benzene concentration.6.2 Complete separation of ethylbenzene and m-xylene from p-xylene is difficult and can be considered adequate if the distancefrom baseline to valley between

25、peaks is not greater than 50 % of the peak height of the impurity.7. Apparatus7.1 Gas ChromatographAny instrument having a flame ionization detector that can be operated at the conditions given inTable 1. The system shall have sufficient sensitivity to obtain a minimum peak height response for 0.001
