7、for Analysis of Acrylonitrile (With-drawn 2016)33. Summary of Test Method3.1 In this test method, a representative sample of acrylo-nitrile is introduced in a gas chromatograph equipped with aflame ionization detector and a capillary column where specificimpurities are separated from the acrylonitri

8、le. The chromato-graphic area for each impurity is compared to the area of theinternal standard, toluene or other suitable known, added to thesample. From response factors of these impurities relative tothat of the internal standard and the amount of the standardadded, the concentration of the impur

9、ities are calculated. Otherimpurities, such as water, are obtained by use of Test MethodsE1178. The acrylonitrile content is obtained by subtracting thetotal amount of all impurities from 100.0.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is designed to obtain acrylonitrilepurity on the basis of impu

10、rities normally present in acryloni-trile and may be useful for final product inspection and processcontrol.4.2 This test method will measure the following impurities:acetone, acrolein, acetonitrile, and acetaldehyde.

Precision and Bias12.1 The following criteria should be used for judging theacceptability of results for impurities (see Note 3):12.1.1 Repeatability (Single Analyst)The coefficient ofvariation for a single determination has

39、 been estimated to be5.8 % relative at 128 df. The 95 % limit for the differencebetween two such runs is 16 % relative.12.1.2 Laboratory Precision (Within-Laboratory, Between-Days Variability)The coefficient of variation of results (eachthe average of duplicates), obtained by the same analyst ondiff

40、erent days, has been estimated to be 4.2 % relative at 64 df.The 95 % limit for the difference between two such averages is12 % relative.12.1.3 Reproducibility (Multilaboratory)The coefficientof variation of results, each the average of duplicates, obtainedby analysts in different laboratories, has

41、been estimated to be9.4 % relative at 5 df. The 95 % limit for the differencebetween two such averages is 26 % relative.NOTE 3The above precision estimates are based on an interlaboratorystudy of analyses performed in 1988 on two samples of acrylonitrilecontaining approximately 18 and 82 mg/kg aceto

42、ne, 164 and 443 mg/kgacetonitrile, 10 and 74 mg/kg benzene, 134 mg/kg cis-crotononitrile, 68mg/kg trans-crotononitrile, 81 and 198 mg/kg methacrylonitrile, and 60and 194 mg/kg propionitrile. The precision for other impurities should bedetermined as needed. One analyst in each of six laboratories per

43、formedduplicate determinations and repeated one day later, for a total of 48determinations for each impurity. Practice E180 was used in developingthese precision estimates.612.2 BiasThe bias of this test method has not beendetermined because of the lack of acceptable reference mate-rial.13. Keywords
