Summary of Test Method4.1 Asmall aliquot of the fuel sample is injected onto a set of two chromatographic columns connected in seri

18、es and transportedusing supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) as the mobile phase. The first column is packed with high-surface-area silica particles.The second column contains either high-surface-area silica particles loaded with silver ions or strong-cation-exchange materialloaded with silver ions.4.

19、2 Two switching valves are used to direct the different classes of components through the chromatographic system to thedetector. In a forward-flow mode, saturates (normal and branched alkanes, cyclic alkanes) pass through both columns to thedetector, while the olefins are trapped on the silver-loade

20、d column and the aromatics and oxygenates are retained on the silicacolumn.Aromatic compounds and oxygenates are subsequently eluted from the silica column to the detector in a back-flush mode.Finally, the olefins are back-flushed from the silver-loaded column to the detector.4.3 A flame-ionization

21、detector (FID) is used for quantitation. Calibration is based on the area of the chromatographic signalfor olefins, relative to standard reference materials, which contain a known mass % of total olefins as corrected for density.5. Significance and Use5.1 Gasoline-range olefinic hydrocarbons have be

22、en demonstrated to contribute to photochemical reactions in the atmosphere,which result in the formation of photochemical smog in susceptible urban areas.5.2 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has specified a maximum allowable limit of total olefins in motor gasoline.This necessitates an appr

23、opriate analytical test method for determination of total olefins to be used both by regulators andproducers.5.3 This test method compares favorably with Test Method D1319 (FIA) for the determination of total olefins in motorgasolines. It does not require any sample preparation, has a comparatively

24、short analysis time of about 10 min, and is readilyautomated. Alternative methods for determination of olefins in gasoline include Test Methods D6839 and D6296.6. Apparatus6.1 Supercritical-fluid Chromatograph (SFC)Any SFC instrumentation can be used that has the following characteristics andmeets t

25、he performance requirements specified in Section 8.NOTE 2The SFC instruments suitable for Test Method D5186 are suitable for this test method, if equipped with two switching valves, as describedunder 6.1.7.6.1.1 PumpThe SFC pump shall be able to operate at the required pressures (typically up to abo

26、ut 30 MPa) and deliver asufficiently stable flow to meet the requirements of retention-time precision (better than 0.3 %) and detection background (seeSection 8). The characteristics of the pump will largely determine the optimum column diameter. The use of 4.6 mm internaldiameter (i.d.) columns req

27、uires a pump capacity of at least 1 mLmin of liquid CO2. Columns with an inside diameter of 2 mmand 1 mm require minimum pump capacities of 200 Lmin and 50 Lmin, respectively.6.1.2 DetectorsA FID is required for quantitation. A flow restrictor shall be installed immediately before the FID. Thisrestr

28、ictor serves to maintain the required pressure in the column, while allowing the pump and detector to perform as specified.A (diode-array or variable wavelength) UV detector for establishing optimum switching times (see Sections 8 and 9) is optional.Such a detector can be incorporated in two differe

29、nt manners.6.1.2.1 A UV detector with a very small dead volume can be inserted between the column and the FID and operated in series.6.1.2.2 Apost-column splitting device, consisting of a T-junction with an appropriate flow restrictor to the FID, can be insertedbetween the column and the UV detector

30、. Using the T-junction, the two detectors can be operated in parallel. The combination ofrestrictors (before the FID and after the UV detector) shall allow the pump and detector to perform as specified.TABLE 1 Typical ColumnsSilica Column Silver-loaded ColumnVendor Merck Vendor Hypersil, Phenomenex,

32、, capable of introducing (sub-)microlitre volume witha precision better than 0.5 %. A 1 L injection volume was found to be adequate in combination with 4.6 mm inside diametercolumns. Corresponding injection volumes are 200 nL and 50 nL for columns with inside diameters of 2 mm and 1 mm,respectively.

33、 The sample inlet system shall be installed and operated in a manner such that the chromatographic separation is notnegatively affected.6.1.4 ColumnsTwo columns of equal inside diameter are required:6.1.4.1 A high-surface-area-silica column, capable of separating alkanes and olefins from aromatics a

34、s specified in Section 8.Typically, one or several 250 mm long columns are used. These columns are packed with particles having an average diameter of5 m or less, 600 nm (60 ) pores, and a surface area of 350 m2/g.NOTE 3Columns suitable for Test Method D5186 are also suitable for the present method.

35、 A typical example is shown in Table 1.6.1.4.2 A silver-loaded-silica column or a cation-exchange column in the silver form. Cation-exchange columns are claimed4to yield more stable columns. Typically, one 50 mm or 100 mm long column packed with particles with an average diameter of5 m is used for t

36、he analysis.NOTE 4Some columns that have been used successfully are shown in Table 1.6.1.5 Column-temperature ControlThe chromatograph shall be capable of column temperature control to within 0.5 C orless.6.1.6 Computor or Electronic IntegratorMeans shall be provided for the determination of accumul

37、ated peak areas. This canbe done by means of a computer or electronic integrator. The computer or integrator shall have the capability of correcting forbaseline shifts during the run.6.1.7 Switching ValvesTwo six-way switching valves are configured in accordance with the scheme shown in Fig. 1. This

38、configuration allows four different valve positions, defined as follows:6.1.7.1 Position ASilica column (forward-flush mode) and silver-loaded column (forward-flush mode) connected in series.This position is used (1) to inject the sample on the two columns, (2) to elute the saturates, (3) to trap th

39、e olefins on thesilver-loaded column, and (4) to retain the aromatics and oxygenates on the silica column.6.1.7.2 Position BSilica column (backflush mode) connected in-line; silver-loaded column not in flow path. This position isused to elute the aromatics and polar compounds.6.1.7.3 Position CSilic

40、a column not in flow path; silver-loaded column (backflush mode) connected in-line. This position isused to elute the olefins.6.1.7.4 Position DSilica column (forward-flush mode) connected in-line; silver-loaded column not in flow path. This positionis used to optimize the separation. Also, this pos

41、ition allows Test Method D5186 to be performed without changing the system.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests.

44、 (Warning Air is usually supplied as a compressed gasunder high pressure, and it supports combustion.)7.3 Calibration SolutionA mixture of hydrocarbons with a known mass % of olefins of the type and concentration found intypical gasolines. This olefin mixture can be diluted by weight with olefin-fre

46、oval of liquid CO2. (WarningLiquid at high pressure. Release of pressure results in productionof extremely cold, solid CO2 and gas, which can dilute available atmospheric oxygen.)7.5 HydrogenHydrogen of high quality (hydrocarbon-free) is used as the fuel for the FID. (WarningHydrogen is usuallysuppl

47、ied under high pressure and is extremely flammable.)7.6 Loading-time MixtureA mixture of a typical alkane and an olefin, which can be used to determine the loading time (see8.2.2.3 ( 1) and 8.2.2.3 (2) while protecting the silver-loaded column from exposure to aromatic compounds.7.7 Performance Mixt

48、ureA mixture of a typical alkane, a mono-aromatic (usually toluene), and a typical mono-olefin can beused to fine-tune this test method and to check its performance.Amixture of n-heptane, toluene, and 3-methyl-2-pentene has beensuccessfully used for this purpose.7.8 Quality Control SampleA motor gas
