Aspectrometer scans from 400 to 4400 wavenumbers of the infrared transmission spectrum of liquid chlorine. This spectrum is thenratioed to o

8、ne obtained of the nitrogen-filled infrared cell previously. The ratioed spectrum is converted to absorbance, and the netabsorbance of the water band at 1596 wavenumbers, relative to a reference at 1663 wavenumbers, is determined. The amount ofwater corresponding to this net absorbance is determined

9、 from a calibration curve prepared from the infrared absorbances ofstandards that contain known concentrations of water in liquid chlorine.4. Significance and Use4.1 Trace amounts of water may be detrimental to the use of chlorine in some applications. The amount of water in the chlorinemust be know

25、AssemblyE1754 1797. Hazards7.1 Safety Precautions:7.1.1 Chlorine is a corrosive and toxic material.Awell-ventilated fume hood should be used to house all test equipment, exceptthe infrared spectrophotometer, when this material is analyzed in the laboratory.7.1.2 The analysis should be attempted only

26、 by persons who are thoroughly familiar with the handling of chlorine, and evenan experienced person should not work alone. The analyst must be provided with adequate eye protection (chemical goggles arerecommended) and an approved chlorine respirator. Splashes of liquid chlorine destroy clothing an

27、d if such clothing is next to theskin, will produce irritation and burns.7.1.3 When sampling and working with chlorine out of doors, people downwind from such operations should be warned of thepossible release of chlorine.7.1.4 It is recommended that means be available for disposal of excess chlorin

28、e in an environmentally safe and acceptablemanner. If chlorine cannot be disposed of in a chlorine consuming process, a chlorine absorption system should be provided. Whenthe analysis and sampling regimen requires an initial purging of chlorine from a container, the purged chlorine should be similar

29、lyhandled. Purging to the atmosphere should be avoided.7.1.5 In the event chlorine is inhaled, first aid should be summoned immediately.8. Sampling8.1 Sampling points should also be chosen with care. Ensure that the sample point is associated with flowing chlorine, and isnot near a“ dead leg” where

30、the concentrations of impurities in the chlorine will never change because the chlorine never moves.If sampling through secondary piping, that piping should be purged well with nitrogen or dry air before being blocked in.Otherwise, temperature variations can result in water vapor condensing inside t

31、he piping to contaminate the chlorine sample whenit is grabbed. Finally, sampling should be done at a sample point representative of the chlorine needing to be analyzed.8.1.1 Sampling from tank cars, barges, storage tanks, and large cylinders presents unique problems. Each facility, however, mustbe

32、capable of delivering a liquid sample (not gas). Acceptable samples can be obtained by sampling in accordance with the SeeChlorine Institute Pamphlet No. 77, “Sampling Liquid Chlorine”1, “Chlorine Basics.”5.(See(See 49 CFR 173, including Parts173.304, 173.314, and 173.315.)8.2 It is recommended that

33、 samples be collected from these facilities in the sample cylinder assembly listed in 5.5. Proper andsafe sampling techniques must be followed. The cylinder must contain at least 75 % by volume of liquid chlorine (less than 25 %vapor space).NOTE 3Do not allow the cylinder to become liquid full. Tare

34、 the cylinder, fill with water, and re-weigh to determine the weight of water in thecylinder. Multiply this weight by 1.56 (the assumed specific gravity of liquid chlorine) and by 0.75 to obtain the weight of chlorine to fill the cylinder75 % full. Example: The cylinder holds 1000 g of water (1000 m

35、L, assuming a specific gravity of 1.0). The filled cylinder will hold 1560 g of chlorine,and at 75 % of capacity, it will contain 1170 g of chlorine.8.3 The sample cylinders should be thoroughly dried by placing in an oven at 105C for at least 6 h or preferably overnight;the dip tubes are not heated

36、, place them in a desiccator.Valves are also placed in the oven, but not as a part of the cylinder (packingsare resistant to this temperature). After this treatment, the cylinders are cooled with plant air or N2 having 5 mg/kg (ppm)moisture. The valves are removed, placed in a desiccator with a suit

37、able drying agent, and cooled to room temperature.9. Preparation of Standards for Calibration9.1 Obtain four clean, evacuated sample cylinders. Only cylinders that have been properly pressure-tested should be used. Equipthree with a ball valve and a needle valve, label these Cylinders No. 2 through

38、No. 4 and record weight to the nearest gram. Equipthe fourth cylinder with two needle valves, weigh to the nearest gram, record, and label as No. 1. Once it contains chlorine, it willbe used to purge the infrared cell before standards are loaded. Use caps on all valves. If dip tubes are used, attach

39、 the dip tubeto the needle valve. Check the hygrometer to make sure the atmosphere in the glove bag or dry box contains 5 mg/kg (ppm)moisture before performing any transfers of chlorine.9.2 Load the four cylinders with liquid chlorine. The liquid chlorine should contain less than 5 mg/kg (ppm) water

40、.All cylindersmust contain at least 75 % by volume liquid chlorine (less than 25 % vapor space). All cylinders should be weighed to the nearestgram and recorded to determine the weight of chlorine in each cylinder (Note 3). Place the filled cylinders into the glove bag ordry box inside the hood. Pla

41、ce all fittings, tools and equipment, including the purged infrared cell, in the glove bag or dry box.Wait until the hygrometer in the glove bag or dry box is reading 5 mg/kg (ppm) moisture before proceeding.9.3 Remove the cap on Valve A of Cylinder No. 1 and blow with N2 to remove any trapped moist

42、ure. Do this each time aconnection is made. Then connect the cylinder and the special infrared cell to the filling apparatus (see Fig. 2) in such a way thatthe liquid chlorine will flow into the cell and that the valves on all parts of the apparatus are closed prior to filling the cell. Forthe follo

43、wing operations, refer to 7.1.4 on venting chlorine.5 Available from The Chlorine Institute, Inc., 2001 L St. NW, Washington, DC 20036.1300 Wilson Blvd., Suite 525, Arlington, VA 22209.E1754 17109.4 Open Valve F and then ValveA. Flush the filling apparatus by partially opening Valve B for a few seco

44、nds and then closingit. Leave Valve A open.9.4.1 Open Valves E and C. Flush the cell by partially opening Valve D and observing flow, then close Valve C and then ValveD.9.5 Fill the infrared cell by opening Valve C and observe the filling of the cell windows. Close Valve C and empty the cell byopeni

45、ng Valve D. Close Valve D.9.6 Fill and empty the cell once more, as above.9.6.1 Close Valve A and open Valve B, to purge the filling apparatus, then close.9.7 Remove the cylinder. Connect Cylinder No. 2 to the filling apparatus after blowing Valve A with N2. Make sure that thecylinder is connected t

46、o the apparatus in such a way that the liquid chlorine will flow into the cell and that the valves on all partsof the apparatus are closed prior to attempting to fill the cell. For the following operations, refer to 7.1.4 on venting chlorine. Repeat9.4 to 9.6.9.8 Fill the cell by opening Valve C. Cl

47、ose Valve C and invert the cell to ensure complete filling of the cell window and thenclose Valve A.9.9 Vent the residual chlorine from the filling apparatus by opening Valve B and then open Valve C a little and dump a smallamount of chlorine from the inverted cell, then quickly close. The cell wind

48、ow should have about 15 vapor space when inverted.Then close Valves B and E.9.10 Allow the cell to come to ambient temperature. Before removing the cell from the filling apparatus, check again foradequate vapor space in the inverted cell window. If no vapor space is seen, open Valve B and quickly op

49、en and close Valve Ca little to dump some more chlorine. Make sure that no more than 14 to 15 of the cell window is vapor space when the cell isinverted. Remove Cylinder No. 1 and No. 2 and record their weights.9.11 Place the infrared cell in the spectrometer and scan in transmission mode from 400 to 4400 wavenumbers at 4-wavenumberresolution. Ratio this spectrum to a spectrum taken of the infrared cell filled with nitrogen. Then convert the ratioed transmissionspectrum to absorbance and measure the net absorbance of the band at 1596 wavenumber
