Summary of Test Method3.1 A monochromatic X-ray beam

19、with a wavelength suitable to excite the K-shell electrons of silicon is focused onto a testspecimen contained in a sample cell (see Fig. 1). The fluorescent K radiation at 0.713 nm (7.13 ) 0.713 nm (7.13 ) emittedby silicon is collected by a fixed monochromator (analyzer). The intensity (counts per

20、 second) of the silicon X-rays is measuredusing a suitable detector and converted to the concentration of silicon (mg/kg) in a test specimen using a calibration equation.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides rapid and precise measurement of total silicon in naphthas, gasoline, gasolin

21、e-ethanol blends,RFG, ethanol and ethanol-fuel blends, and toluene with minimum sample preparation. Typical analysis time is 55 min to 10 min10 min per sample.4.2 Excitation by monochromatic X-rays reduces background, simplifies matrix correction, and increases the signal/backgroundratio compared to

22、 polychromatic excitation used in conventional WDXRF techniques.34.3 Silicone oil defoamer can be added to coker feedstocks to minimize foaming in the coker. Residual silicon in the cokernaphtha can adversely affect downstream catalytic processing of the naphtha. This test method provides a means to

23、 determine thesilicon content of the naphtha.4.4 Silicon contamination of gasoline, gasoline-ethanol blends, denatured ethanol, and their blends has led to fouled vehiclecomponents (for example, spark plugs, exhaust oxygen sensors, catalytic converters) requiring parts replacement and repairs.Finish

24、ed gasoline gasoline, gasoline-ethanol blends, and ethanol-fuel blends can come into contact with silicon a number of ways.Waste hydrocarbon solvents such as toluene can be added to gasoline. Such solvents can contain soluble silicon compounds.Silicon-based antifoam agents can be used in ethanol pla

25、nts, which then pass silicon on to the finished ethanol-fuel blend. This testmethod can be used to determine if gasoline gasoline, gasoline-ethanol blends, and ethanol-fuel blends meet specifications withrespect to silicon content of the fuel, and for resolution of customer problems.4.5 Some silicon

26、 compounds covered by this test method are significantly more volatile than the silicon compounds typicallyused for the preparation of the calibration standards. Volatile compounds (for example, hexamethyldisiloxane with a boiling pointof 101C), which typically have boiling points below 170C can giv

Interferences5.1 Differences between the elemental composition of test samples and the calibration standards can result in biase

28、d silicondeterminations. For fuels within the scope of this test method, the only important elements contributing to bias resulting fromdifferences in the matrices of calibrants and test samples are hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. A matrix-correction factor (C) may3 Bertin, E. P., Principles and Pract

For general analytical purposes, the matrices of test samplesand the calibrants are considered to

30、 be matched when the calculated correction factor C is within 0.95 to 1.05. No matrix correctionis required within this range. A matrix correction is required when the value of C is outside the range of 0.95 to 1.05. For mosttesting, matrix correction can be avoided with a proper choice of calibrant

31、s. For example, Fig. 2 and the calculation in Annex A1show that a calibrant with 87.5 87.5 % by mass % carbon and 12.5 12.5 % by mass % hydrogen can cover non-oxygen containingsamples with C/H ratios from 5.0 to 11.0, which corresponds to a correction factor range of 0.95 to 1.05.5.2 Fuels containin

32、g large quantities of ethanol, such as ethanol fuel ethanol,blends, denatured fuel ethanol, and gasoline-ethanol blends (see Specifications D4806 and D5798), can have a high oxygen content leading to significant absorption of siliconK radiation and low silicon results. Such fuels may be analyzed usi

33、ng this test method provided either that correction factors (seeTable 1 and Figs. 3 and 4Table 2) are applied to the results or by using calibration standards that are matrix matched to the testsample. For gasoline samples with oxygenates, up to 3.1 3.1 % by mass % oxygen can be tolerated for test s

34、amples with the sameC/H ratio as the calibrants.5.2.1 For test samples with high oxygenate content, such as fuel ethanol, denatured fuel ethanol,ethanol and gasoline-ethanolethanol fuel blends (see Specifications D4806 and D5798), ethanol based ethanol-based calibrants may be used provided thecorrec
