Summary of Test Method4.1 A representative aliquot of the ETBE product sample isintroduced into a gas chromatograph equipped with a methylsilicon bonded phase fused silica open tubular column. Heliumcarrier gas transports the vaporized aliquot through the columnwhere the component

12、s are separated by the chromatographicprocess. Components are sensed by a flame ionization detectoras they elute from the column.4.2 The detector signal is processed by an electronic dataacquisition system or integrating computer. Each eluting com-ponent is identified by comparing its retention time

13、 to thoseestablished by analyzing standards under identical conditions.4.3 The concentration of each component in mass percent isdetermined by normalization of the peak areas after each peakarea has been corrected by a detector response multiplicationfactor and the water content of the sample.

Significance and Use5.1 The presence of impurities in ETBE product can have adeleterious effect upon the value of ETBE as a fuel additive.Oxygenate and olefin contents are of primary concern. This testmethod provides a knowledge of the composition of ETBEprod

17、uct. This is useful in the evaluation of process operationscontrol, in the valuation of the product, and for regulatorypurposes.6. Interferences6.1 Cyclopentane and 2,3-dimethylbutane have been ob-served to co-elute with MTBE. However, these are not com-monly found impurities in MTBE, and MTBE is ty

18、picallypresent at very low concentrations in ETBE.7. Apparatus7.1 Gas ChromatographInstrumentation capable of oper-ating at the conditions listed in Table 1. A heated flashvaporizing injector designed to provide a linear sample splitinjection (that is, 200:1) is required for proper sample intro-duct

19、ion. Carrier gas controls shall be of adequate precision toprovide reproducible column flows and split ratios in order tomaintain analytical integrity. Pressure control devices andgages shall be designed to attain the linear velocity required inthe column used (for example, if a 150 m column is used

20、, apressure of approximately 550 kPa (80 psig) is required). Ahydrogen flame ionization detector with associated gas controlsand electronics, designed for optimum response with opentubular columns, is required.7.2 Sample IntroductionManual or automatic liquid sy-ringe sample injection to the splitti

21、ng injector is employed.Devices capable of 0.1 to 0.5 L injections are suitable. Itshould be noted that inadequate splitter design, or poorinjection technique, or both, can result in poor resolution.Overloading of the column can also cause loss of resolution forsome components and, since overloaded

22、peaks are skewed,variation in retention times. Watch for any skewed peaks thatindicate overloading during column evaluation. Observe thecomponent size and where possible, avoid conditions leadingto this problem during the analyses.7.3 Open Tubular Column3This test method utilizes afused silica open

23、tubular column with non-polar methyl sili-cone bonded (cross-linked) phase internal coating such as oneof the following:Column length 50 m 100 m 150 mFilm thickness 0.5 m 0.5 m 1.0 mInternal diameter 0.20 mm 0.25 mm 0.25 mmOther columns with equal or greater resolving power may beused. A minimum res

24、olution between trans-2-pentene andtert-butanol, and between cis-2-pentene and tert-butanol of 1.3is required. The 150 m column is expected to decrease thelikelihood of co-elution of impurities.7.4 Electronic Data Acquisition SystemAny data acquisi-tion and integration device used for quantification

25、 of theseanalyses shall meet or exceed these minimum requirements:7.4.1 Capacity for at least 50 peaks per analysis,7.4.2 Normalized area percent calculations with responsefactors,7.4.3 Identification of individual components based on re-tention time,7.4.4 Noise and spike rejection capability,7.4.5

26、Sampling rate for fast (tA.12. Calibration and Standardization12.1 Identify component peaks from a sample analysis bymatching their retention time with the retention time ofreference compounds analyzed under identical conditions.Relative retention times for common contaminants in ETBEproducts are li

27、sted in Table 2. Analyze mixtures containingthese compounds to verify their retention times. Mixtures usedfor determining retention times may be blended from pureD7796 123compounds or purchased. Retention times of other suspectedcontaminants may be established by analyzing mixtures con-taining these

28、 materials under identical conditions. A typicalchromatogram of an ETBE product sample, analyzed on the100 meter column that was used to acquire the repeatabilitydata reported below, is shown in Fig. 1. The peaks are indexedto Table 2.12.2 Typical mass relative response factors are found inTable 2.

29、These response factors shall be verified by analyzinga prepared standard with concentrations similar to thoseencountered in an ETBE product sample and comparing themeasured results with the prepared composition. If the mea-sured composition does not agree with the preparedcomposition, the response f

30、actors should be experimentallydetermined in accordance with Practice D4626 by measuringthe response factors of certified blends that have been pur-chased or blends prepared in accordance with Practice D4307.13. Procedure13.1 Set the instrument operating variables to the valuesspecified in Table 1 o

31、r to a temperature determined to besuitable by the evaluation in Section 11.13.2 When the gas chromatograph has been inoperative formore than 24 h, raise the column temperature to the maximumtemperature used in the method and hold for 20 min to removecontaminants from the column. Lower the temperatu

32、re to theinitial method temperature.13.3 Set the recorder or integration device, or both, foraccurate presentation of the data. Set instrumental sensitivitysuch that any component of at least 0.02 % mass will bedetected, integrated, and reported.13.4 Inject 0.1 to 0.5 L of sample into the injection

33、portand start the analysis. Sample size shall follow guidelinesdiscussed in 7.2. Obtain a chromatogram and peak integrationreport.14. Calculation14.1 Identify each peak by matching retention times withknown reference standards or sample components as discussedin 12.1. If a computing integrator is us

34、ed, examine the report toensure that peaks are properly identified and integrated. It isvery important that all oxygenate peaks be separated fromhydrocarbon peaks and correctly identified since oxygenateshave very different response factors than hydrocarbons andnormalization is used for quantificati

35、on.14.2 Obtain the integrated areas of each impurity peak.Multiply each area by its appropriate response factor asdetermined in 12.2 to obtain peak areas corrected for responsedifferences. Use a response factor of 1.00 for unknownimpurities.14.3 Obtain the concentration of water in the sample asdete
