Significance and Use3.1 This guide summarizes the test meth

25、ods used in theelemental analysis of crude oils. Additional information on thesignificance and use of the test methods quoted in this guidecan be found under discussion of individual test methods inSections 8 through 15.3.2 Crude oils are highly complex hydrocarbons also con-taining some organometal

26、lic compounds, inorganic sediment,and water. Nearly 600 individual hydrocarbons, over 200separate sulfur compounds, and about 40 trace elements havebeen found in crude oils (1).6Generally, sulfur and nitrogen arethe two most abundant elements found in crude oils except forcarbon and hydrogen. Most o

27、ther inorganic elements arepresent at trace levels (mg/kg). Sulfur, nitrogen, vanadium,nickel, and iron are the most frequently determined elements inthe crude oils. Ratios such as vanadium to vanadium + nickel,and iron to vanadium are suggested as being useful for oil typecharacterizations. Since o

28、rganometallic compounds are con-centrated in the heavy ends of petroleum, transition elementconcentrations and ratios can serve as excellent oil-oil corre-lation parameters. Generally, vanadium and nickel contentincreases with asphaltic content of crude oil (API gravity is anindicator). Lighter crud

29、e oils contain lesser amounts of metals(2, 3).3.3 Metal complexes called porphyrins are a major compo-nent of metallic compounds in crude oils. The principalporphyrin complexes are Ni+2and VO+2compounds. There arealso other non-porphyrin complexes and other metallic com-pounds present in crude oils

30、(4, 5).3.4 Some typical literature citations in this area are includedin the reference section at the end of this guide.4. Sampling4.1 Collection of a meaningful and representative sample isoften the most critical step in an analytical procedure. In traceelement analysis, in particular, extreme care

31、 must be taken toavoid contamination of the sample during the sampling stepand all subsequent analysis steps. By its very nature, crude oilis typically non-homogenous, containing some percentages ofsediment and water. It also typically contains volatile lightends, and finally, crude oil will often e

32、xhibit high pour pointand high viscosity properties, due to its asphaltenes andparaffin wax content.4.1.1 The water and sediment component of the crude oilwill tend to naturally separate and stratify in tanks, marinevessel compartments, and in flowing pipelines.4.1.2 There are various types of conta

33、iners that can be usedfor storage of liquid hydrocarbon products. Not all of them aresuitable for crude oil storage. According to Practice D5854 fortests of interest in elemental analysis area (salts, sulfur, andtrace metals) in crude oil, the containers employed may bemade of hard borosilicate glas

34、s, stainless steel, or epoxy-linedsteel and are considered satisfactory for immediate use, storageup to six months or reuse.

36、ble 1.4.2 Three principal protocols are available for sampling of arepresentative aliquot from a bulk sample: Practice D4057 formanual sampling, Practice D4177 for automatic sampling, andPractice D5854 for mixing and handling of liquid samples.4.3 Crude oil to be sampled may be in static storage in

37、atank, a marine vessel, or a pipeline. Stabilized crude oilstypically contain multiple phases, particulates, and volatiles.Decisions whether to separate the phases and analyze themseparately, or homogenize the whole sample need to be madeprior to analysis.4.4 If the sample does not readily flow at r

38、oom temperature,heat it to a sufficiently high and safe temperature to ensureadequate fluidity. Great care needs to be taken in heating theviscous sample prior to analysis. Changes in chemicalcomposition, loss of volatile elements, and so forth are causesfor concern.5. Sample Preparation5.1 Often di

39、fferent test methods for specific determinationof elements require different sample preparation steps. GuideD7455 reviews alternative techniques for sample preparationfor elemental analysis. The means of sample preparation varyfrom no sample preparation to simple sample dilution toextensive detailed

40、 procedures such as sample decompositiondepending on the measurement technique to be used for thefinal determination.5.2 Among the test methods used for the elemental analysisof crude oil, test methods such as XRF Test Methods D2622or D4294 for sulfur need no special preparation. However, theymay ne

41、ed dilution with a solvent if the sulfur levels are abovethe scope of the test methods. Other non-XRF test methods thatdo not need special sample treatment include Test MethodD3230 for salt by titration, and Test Methods D5291 forcarbon-hydrogen-nitrogen by combustion.5.3 Some methods require sample

42、 dilution such as in atomicabsorption spectrometry (AAS) Test Method D5863 B fornickel, vanadium, iron, and sodium; inductively coupledplasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) Test MethodD5708 for nickel, vanadium, and iron; and ICP-AES TestMethod D7691 for multi-element analysis of crude oils.

43、5.4 Decomposition agents are employed to bring the desiredparameter in aqueous solution for final measurement. Ex-amples of these are Kjeldahl method for nitrogen: Test MethodD3228, acid decomposition of crude oil for vanadium: TestMethod D1548, and AAS method for nickel, vanadium, iron,and sodium:

44、Test Method D5863 A.5.5 For volatile elements such as nitrogen or sulfur, com-bustion trains using adsorbants have been used in Test MethodD1552 for sulfur, and Test Methods D4629 and D5762 fornitrogen.5.6 Organic chloride in crude oil is determined by TestMethods D4929 after elaborate pre-treatment

45、 of samples toseparate organic chloride fraction from crude oil.5.7 Determination of mercury in crude oil poses specialproblems both in sample collection and in measurement. Theseare discussed elsewhere in detail in Practice D7482, TestMethod D7622, and Test Method D7623.6. Calibration6.1 Depending

46、upon the analysis being done, differentcalibration practices may have to be followed. A review ofcalibration practices used in elemental analysis is given inGuide D7578.7. Analysis of Crude Oils7.1 A number of elemental analysis techniques have beenused in the analysis of crude oils. These include i

47、nstrumentaltechniques such as atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS),inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry(ICP-AES), inductively coupled plasma- mass spectrometry(ICP-MS), isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS), neu-tron activation analysis (NAA), energy-dispersive X-ray fluo-resc

48、ence (ED-XRF), and wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluores-cence (WD-XRF). The highlights of these techniques and theexamples of their utilization to elemental analysis of petroleumproducts and lubricants, and particularly to crude oils havebeen discussed in detail elsewhere (2, 6, 7).7.2 Parameters tha

49、t are usually determined for elementalanalysis are listed in Table 2 along with their scope and theapplicability of the test methods to crude oil assay. Several ofthe tests methods are not specifically designated for crude oilanalysis but conventionally they are widely used for suchanalyses in the industry.7.2.1 Some of the ASTM tests listed in Table 2 have theirinternational counterparts listed in Table 3 (8).7.3 When performing several tests on a crude oil sample, itis very important to ensure that the sequence of testing isevaluated to minimize altering the properties of
