Summary of Test Method4.1 The boiling range distribution by distillation is simu-lated by the use of gas chromat

24、ography. A non-polar opentubular (capillary) gas chromatographic column is used to elutethe hydrocarbon and FAME components of the sample in orderof increasing boiling point.4.2 A sample aliquot is diluted with a viscosity reducingsolvent and introduced into the chromatographic system. Thesolvent sh

25、all be apolar and not interfere with measurement ofthe sample in the 100 to 615C range. Sample vaporization isprovided by separate heating of the point of injection or inconjunction with column oven heating.4.3 The column oven temperature is raised at a reproduciblelinear rate to effect separation o

26、f the FAME components inorder of increasing boiling point relative to a n-paraffincalibration mixture. The elution of sample components isquantitatively determined using a flame ionization detector.The detector signal integral is recorded as area slices forconsecutive retention time intervals during

27、 the analysis.4.4 Retention times of known normal paraffin hydrocarbons,spanning the scope of the test method (C5C60), are deter-mined and correlated to their boiling point temperatures. Thenormalized cumulative corrected sample areas for each con-secutive recorded time interval are used to calculat

28、e the boilingrange distribution. The boiling point temperature at eachreported percent off increment is calculated from the retentiontime calibration.4.5 The retention time versus boiling point curve is cali-brated with normal paraffin hydrocarbons since these boilingpoints are well defined. A mixtu

29、re of FAMEs is analyzed tocheck column resolution. A triglyceride is analyzed to verifythe systems ability to detect unreacted oil.5. Significance and Use5.1 The boiling range distribution of FAMES provides aninsight into the composition of product related to the transes-terification process. This g

30、as chromatographic determination ofboiling range can be used to replace conventional distillationmethods for product specification testing with the mutualagreement of interested parties.5.2 Biodiesel (FAMES) exhibits a boiling point rather thana distillation curve. The fatty acid chains in the raw o

31、ils andfats from which biodiesel is produced are mainly comprised ofstraight chain hydrocarbons with 16 to 18 carbons that havesimilar boiling temperatures. The atmospheric boiling point ofbiodiesel generally ranges from 330 to 357C. The Specifica-tion D6751 value of 360C max at 90 % off by Test Met

32、hodD1160 was incorporated as an precaution to ensure the fuel hasnot been adulterated with high boiling contaminants.6.
