Detaileddefinitions can be found in Practices E 355 and E 594.4. Summary of Test Method4.1

8、The sample is analyzed by gas chromatography, aftersilyating with N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyltrifluoracetamide(MSTFA). Calibration is achieved by the use of two internalstandards and four reference materials. Mono-, di-, and trig-lycerides are determined by comparing to monoolein, diolein,and triolein

9、 standards respectively. Average conversion factorsare applied to the mono-, di-, and triglycerides to calculate thebonded glycerin content of the sample.5. Significance and Use5.1 Free and bonded glycerin content reflects the quality ofbiodiesel. A high content of free glycerin may cause problemsdu

10、ring storage, or in the fuel system, due to separation of theglycerin. A high total glycerin content can lead to injectorfouling and may also contribute to the formation of deposits atinjection nozzles, pistons, and valves.6.

Obtain achromatogram and peak integration report.10.3 Peak IdentificationIdentify peaks by comparison ofretention times to the standards. For identificatio

36、n of additionalpeaks, use the relative retention times given in Table 4 and thereference chromatograms given in Fig. 1. The mono-, di, andtriglycerides are separated according to carbon numbers (CN).10.4 Monoglycerides consist of the four overlapping peakswith relative retention times (RRT) of 0.76

37、and 0.83 to 0.86with respect to the internal standard tricaprin. A pair of peaks,methyl esters with a carbon number of 24, may appear withRRT of 0.80 to 0.82, and should not be included in thecalculation of monoglycerides.10.5 Diglycerides are also primarily separated according tocarbon number, but

38、due to varying double bonds in themolecules, baseline resolution of the peaks does not occur. Thegrouping of 3 to 4 peaks with RRT of 1.05 to 1.09 (CN 34, 36,and 38) shall be attributed to diglycerides. Carbon number alsoseparates triglycerides. Peaks with RRT of 1.16 to 1.31 (CN 52,54, 56, and 58)

39、should be included in the calculation.11. Calculation and Report11.1 After identifying the peaks, measure the areas of thepeaks identified as glycerin, mono, di-, and triglycerides.
