Summary of Test Method4.1 A test portion of the sample is mixed with heptane and the

17、mixture heated under reflux, and the precipitated asphaltenes,waxy substances, and inorganic material are collected on a filter paper. The waxy substances are removed by washing with hotheptane in an extractor.4.2 After removal of the waxy substances, the asphaltenes are separated from the inorganic

18、 material by dissolution in hottoluene, the extraction solvent is evaporated, and the asphaltenes weighed.5. Significance and Use5.1 Asphaltenes are the organic molecules of highest molecular mass and carbon-hydrogen ratio normally occurring in crudepetroleum and petroleum products containing residu

19、al material. They may give problems during storage and handling if thesuspension of asphaltene molecules is disturbed through excess stress or incompatibility. They are also the last molecules in aproduct to combust completely, and thus may be one indicator of black smoke propensity. Their compositi

20、on normally includesa disproportionately high quantity of the sulfur, nitrogen, and metals present in the crude petroleum or petroleum product.6. Apparatus6.1 GeneralGround-glass joints from different sources may have one of two diameter to length ratios. For the purposes of thistest method, either

However, it is critical that the maleand female parts of each joint are from the same series to avoid recession or protuberance.6.2 Condenser, with a coil or double surface, fitted with a 34/45 or 34/35 ground-glass join

Tolerances are 61 mm on the height and outer diameter(OD) of the extractor body and 60.5 mm on all other dimensions. The female ground-glass joint at the top s

Apparatus Preparation10.1 Clean all glass flasks

31、(see 6.4) and dishes (see 6.6) by a means that matches the cleanliness obtained by the use of a stronglyoxidizing agent, such as chromosulfuric acid, ammonium peroxydisulfate in concentrated sulfuric acid at approximately 8 g/L, orsulfuric acid itself, soaking for at least 12 h, followed by rinses i

32、n tap water, distilled water, and then acetone, using forceps onlyfor handling. (WarningChromosulfuric acid is a health hazard. It is toxic, a recognized carcinogen as it contains Cr (VI)compounds, which are highly corrosive and potentially hazardous in contact with organic materials. When using chr

33、omosulfuricacid cleaning solution, eye protection and protective clothing are essential. Never pipette the cleaning solution by mouth.After use,do not pour cleaning solution down the drain, but neutralize it with great care, owing to the concentrated sulfuric acid present, anddispose of it in accord

34、ance with standard procedures for toxic laboratory waste (chromium is highly dangerous to the environment).Nonchromium containing, strongly oxidizing acid cleaning solutions are also highly corrosive and potentially hazardous in contactwith organic materials, but do not contain chromium, which has i

35、ts own special disposal problems.)10.2 For routine analysis, use a proprietary laboratory detergent to clean the glassware, followed by the rinses described in 10.1.When the detergent cleaning no longer matches the cleanliness required based on visual appearance, use a strong oxidizing agent.10.3 Af
