17、 inthis test method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The specimen to be analyzed is injected into a gaschromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID)and a capillary column. The peak area of each component ismeasured and adjusted using effective carbon number (ECN)5response factors. The co

18、ncentration of each component iscalculated based on its relative percentages of total adjustedpeak area and normalized to 100.0000 %.5. Significance and Use5.1 Determining the type and amount of hydrocarbon im-purities remaining from the manufacture of toluene, mixedxylenes, p-xylene, o-xylene, ethy

19、lbenzene, benzene, and sty-rene used as chemical intermediates and solvents is oftenrequired. This test method is suitable for setting specificationsand for use as an internal quality control tool where theseproducts are produced or are used. Typical impurities are:alkanes containing 1 to 10 carbons

20、 atoms, benzene, toluene,ethylbenzene (EB), xylenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons con-taining nine carbon atoms or more.5.2 This method may not detect all components and theremay be unknown components that would be assigned inappro-priate response factors and thus, the results may not beabsolute.6. Int

21、erferences6.1 In some cases for toluene, mixed xylenes, p-xylene,o-xylene, ethylbenzene and styrene, it may be difficult toresolve benzene from the nonaromatic hydrocarbons. There-fore the concentrations are determined as a composite. In theevent that the benzene concentration must be determined, an

22、alternate method such as Test Method D6229 must be selectedto ensure an accurate assessment of the benzene concentration.6.2 The complete separation of p-xylene from ethylbenzene,or ethylbenzene and m-xylene from p-xylene can be difficultwhen either ethylbenzene or p-xylene is analyzed, respectively

23、.The separation can be considered adequate if the distance fromthe baseline to the valley between the two peaks is not greaterthan 50 % of the peak height of lower of the two peaks.7. Apparatus7.1 Chromatographic data system is required.7.2 ColumnsThe choice of column is based on resolutionrequireme

24、nts. Any column may be used that is capable ofresolving all significant impurities from the major component.The column and conditions described in Table 1 have beenused successfully and shall be used as a referee in cases ofdispute.7.3 Gas ChromatographAny instrument having a flameionization detecto

25、r and a splitter injector suitable for use witha fused silica capillary column may be used, provided thesystem has sufficient sensitivity, linearity, and range to deter-mine 0.0001 wt %, while not exceeding the full scale of eitherthe detector or the electronic integration for the major compo-nent.

26、It shall have a split injection system that will notdiscriminate over the boiling range of the samples analyzed.The system should be capable of operating at conditions givenin Table 1.7.4 InjectorThe specimen must be precisely and repeat-ably injected into the gas chromatograph.An automatic samplein

Procedure13.1 Bring the sample to room temperature.13.2 Check the chromatography performance to make surethat the column is properly resolving peaks.13.3

36、Inject an appropriate amount of sample into the instru-ment.13.4 Review the chromatographic data system result. Mea-sure the area of all peaks. The non-aromatics fraction includesall peaks up to ethylbenzene except for the peaks assigned tobenzene and toluene. Sum together all the non-aromatic peaks

37、as a total area. When either benzene or toluene is analyzed and1,4-dioxane is required to be reported, the non-aromaticfraction does not include the peak assigned to 1,4-dioxane.NOTE 1A poorly resolved peak, such as p-xylene from high purityethylbenzene or m-xylene from high purity p-xylene, will of
