1、Designation: E 1747 95 (Reapproved 2005)Standard Guide forPurity of Carbon Dioxide Used in Supercritical FluidApplications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1747; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,

2、the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe rapid commercial development of carbon dioxide for use in supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)and sup

3、ercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) has hastened the need to establish common puritystandards to be specified by specialty gas suppliers. As a consequence of its isolation frompetrochemical side-streams or as a by-product of fermentation or ammonia synthesis, carbon dioxidecontains a wide range of

4、 impurities that can interfere with analytical quantification or instrumentoperation. This guide is intended to serve as a guide to specialty gas suppliers for testing the suitabilityof carbon dioxide for use in SFC and SFE applications.1. Scope1.1 This guide defines purity standards for carbon diox

5、ide toensure the suitability of liquefied carbon dioxide gas for use inSFE and SFC applications (see Guide E 1449 for definitions ofterms). This guide defines quantitation, labeling, and statisticalstandards for impurities in carbon dioxide that are necessaryfor successful SFE or SFC laboratory work

6、, and it suggestsmethods of analysis for quantifying these impurities.1.2 This guide is provided for use by specialty gas supplierswho manufacture carbon dioxide specifically for SFE or SFCapplications. SFE or SFC CO2products offered with a claim ofadherence to this guide will meet certain absolute

7、purity andcontaminant detectability requirements matched to the needs ofcurrent SFE or SFC techniques. The use of this guide allowsdifferent SFE or SFC CO2product offerings to be compared onan equal purity basis.1.3 This guide considers contaminants to be those compo-nents that either cause detector

8、 signals that interfere with thoseof the target analytes or physically impede the SFE or SFCexperiment.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,

9、if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

17、on3.1 This guide covers the following four different classes ofcompounds:3.1.1 Liquid-Phase ContaminantsThese are materials dis-solved in the CO2liquid phase that can be volatilized below300C and resolved chromatographically using a gas chroma-tography (CG) column; and detected by either a flame ion

18、iza-tion (FI) or electron capture (EC) detector (D). Speciesrepresentative of this class include moderate (100 to 600)molecular weight hydrocarbons and halocarbons (oils andlubricants).NOTE 1Liquid-phase contaminant levels are defined in terms of thelowest limit of detector response (LLDR)5for FIDs

19、or ECDs only, becausethey are the primary detectors used with SFE or SFC techniques.However, the purification procedures used by the gas supplier to removeFID- and ECD-responsive contaminants are assumed to be effective forcontaminants responsive to other (for example, NPD, MS, IR, UV, etc.)detector

20、s.Because a wide variety of contaminants are found in liquid-phase CO2as a consequence of its source, full speculation of every impurity by thegas supplier is impractical. All liquid-phase contaminants are thereforequantified relative to two representative internal primary reference stan-dards: hexa

21、decane (HD or C16H34) for the FID and hexachlorobenzene(HCB or C6Cl6) for the ECD. Contaminant limits are defined on a massbasis for single peaks and for the sum of all detector responses.3.1.2 MoistureAlthough water is sparingly (250C) residue following the vaporization of liquidCO2, such as small

22、particles and high-boiling solutes, aredetrimental to both SFE and SFC applications. Species repre-sentative of this class include nonchromatographicable hydro-carbons or halocarbon oils, greases, and inorganic particles (forexample, silica). A maximum concentration of 1 ppm will beconsidered accept

23、able.4. Purity Specifications for SFE or SFC Grade CO24.1 This guide proposes the following minimum purityspecifications for CO2for each of the classes of contaminants,based on the demands of currently practiced SFE or SFCtechniques.4.1.1 Liquid-Phase Contaminants Specification:4.1.1.1 SFE grade car

24、bon dioxide is intended to be used asan extraction solvent from which a significant concentration ofself-contained contaminates is possible because relatively large(50 g) amounts of carbon dioxide may be used. Because eachimpurity cannot be identified, a known amount of internalreference compounds (

25、for example, HD and HCB) will be usedduring the analysis to quantify contaminants on a relativeweight basis. Total contaminant levels will be expressed in ngof contaminant per g of CO2and defined as that amount ofimpurity that will produce a detector signal at the “typical”detection limits for an FI

26、D or ECD found in 1.0 g of CO2. The1-g amount of carbon dioxide was selected as a convenientmass from which the chemist could relate carbon dioxidecontamination levels with the amount of carbon dioxiderequired for his/her analysis by a simple ratio.4.1.1.2 SFC grade carbon dioxide is intended to be

27、used asa mobile phase material transferred directly from a chromato-graphic column to a detector (FID or ECD) without pre-concentration (see Practice E 355).Accepted internal referencecompounds (for example, HD and HCB) will be used assurrogate contaminants. Contaminant levels will be expressedin ng

28、 of contaminant per g of CO2and will be defined as thatamount which will produce a detector signal 20 times greaterthan the “typical” detection limit for FID and 25 times greaterthan an ECD at the lowest detectable limit for a single peak. Atotal of 200 times the lowest detectable limit will be set

29、for allcontaminants for a specific detector.4.1.1.3 When specifying a FID response for SFE, themaximum amount of any one contaminant (that is, one peak inthe chromatogram) will be 1 ng/g of liquid-phase CO2. This isequivalent to 1 ppb on a mass basis, or 1 ppb w/w. Themaximum amount of all FID-respo

30、nsive contaminants (that is,the sum of all peaks in the chromatogram) will be 10 ng/g ofliquid-phase CO2or 10 ppb w/w. Contaminant concentrationsare expressed in terms of the equivalent response for hexade-cane, the internal standard, regardless of the actual identity ofthe contaminant.4.1.1.4 When

31、specifying an FID response for SFC, thegenerally accepted LLDR for a FID is 0.25 6 0.1 ng for asingle component with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1. Therefore,“20” 3 0.25 ng = 5 ng to the detector (one peak), and“200” 3 0.25 ng = 50 ng total detector response. If all 5 ng ofthe contaminant comes fro

32、m1gofliquid-phase carbondioxide, the single component impurity level would be 50 ppb.4Available from Compressed Gas Association, Inc., 1725 Jefferson DavisHighway, Arlington, VA 22202-4100.5Poole, C. F., and Poole, S. K., Chromatography Today, Elsevier, 1991, p. 86.E 1747 95 (2005)2This assumes that

33、 1 g of carbon dioxide arrives at the detectorat one time, and the density of the CO2is 1 g/mL. Undertypical SFC conditions of ;400 atm and 75C, less than 0.1 gof CO2actually reaches the FID when using a 0.25 mm insidediameter column with a 15-s wide peak. Therefore, thecontamination level acceptabl

34、e for SFC applications would beless than 16 ppb on an absolute basis for a single peak (seePractice E 594).4.1.1.5 ECD DetectorFor SFE, the maximum amount ofany one contaminant (that is, one peak in the chromatogram)will be 0.2 ng/g of liquid-phase CO2. This is equivalent to 0.2ppb w/w, or 200 ppt w

35、/w, on a mass basis. The maximumamount of all ECD-responsive contaminants (that is, the sumof all peaks in the chromatogram) will be 2 ng/g of liquid-phase CO2or 2 ppb w/w. Contaminant concentrations areexpressed in terms of the equivalent response for hexachlo-robenzene, the internal standard, rega

36、rdless of the actualidentity of the contaminant (see Practice E 697).4.1.1.6 For SFC applications, the ECD is 5 times moresensitive than the FID, assuming two halogen atoms permolecule. Therefore, the total concentration of a single ECDimpurity is proposed to be 1 ng/g of CO2or 1 ppb. The totalamoun

37、t of ECD impurities considered acceptable is 10 ng/g ofCO2or 10 ppb.4.1.2 Higher-Purity MaterialsThe specifications andmethodology proposed in this guide can be used to certify CO2materials with higher-purity specifications. To certify suchmaterials, gas suppliers must vary (increase) the quantity o

38、fCO2collected and adjust the quantity of internal standard usedfor calibration. Contaminant concentrations are expressed interms of the equivalent responses for the internal standardsrecommended above and reported on a mass basis relative tothe mass of CO2collected. The applicable detector must besp

39、ecified.4.1.2.1 Minimum-purity CO2contains a total of 10 ng ofFID-responsive contaminants per g of CO2(10 ppb w/w), withno single FID-responsive contaminant greater than 1 ng/g (1ppb w/w). Higher-specification CO2, for example, may containa total of 1 ppb w/w of FID-responsive contaminants, with nos

40、ingle contaminant greater than 0.1 ppb w/w.4.1.2.2 Gas suppliers are free to manufacture materials withpurity specifications as stringent as they choose. SFC and SFEpractitioners may use the purity reporting standards definedhere as a basis for needs assessment and product comparison.No “grading” no

41、menclature is recommended in this guide.4.1.3 Moisture SpecificationThe maximum amount ofmoisture acceptable in the carbon dioxide is 1 ppm (mole orvolume basis).4.1.4 Gas-Phase Contaminants Specification:4.1.4.1 Gas-phase contaminants generally do not impedeSFE or SFC experiments. However, to reduc

42、e the risk ofinadvertent contamination, certain gas-phase contaminantsshould be specified and controlled.4.1.4.2 Oxygen (or Oxygen/Argon) SpecificationThemaximum amount of oxygen (or unresolved oxygen/argon)acceptable is 5 ppm (mole or volume basis).4.1.4.3 Total Gas-Phase Hydrocarbons Specification

43、Themaximum amount of total gas-phase hydrocarbons (THCs)acceptable is 5 ppm (mole or volume basis), expressed asmethane.4.1.5 Nonvolatile Contaminants SpecificationThe maxi-mum amount of nonvolatile residue acceptable is 1 mg/g ofCO2or 1 ppm (w/w).4.1.6 Specification SummaryProposed minimum specifi-
