7、 Manual of Spectrophotometer3. Summary of Test Method3.1 The product is sampled in such a way as to avoidextraneous contamination and air contact. The absorbance ofthe sample contained in a 50-mm or 10-mm cell is measuredagainst water at a series of wavelengths and the transmittanceover a pathlength

8、 of 10 mm is calculated.3.2 This test method can be performed with two options asto sample preparation prior to UV measurement.3.2.1 Option A: Nitrogen sparging of the sample (see 4.2).3.2.2 Option B: No nitrogen sparging.4. Significance and Use4.1 Knowledge of the ultraviolet transmittance of monoe

9、t-hylene glycol is required to establish whether the productmeets the requirements of its quality specifications.4.2 Dissolved oxygen in organic solvents, such as MEG,forms complexes that shift the solvent absorption from thevacuum ultraviolet range into the measurable UV range (near190 to 250 nm).

10、Monoethylene glycol has a UV absorptionpeak at 180 nm. For MEG-oxygen complexes, this peak isshifted to a longer wavelength, thus increasing the absorbabil-ity at 220 nm.4.2.1 However, this effect is not observed in water. There isno significant measurable effect due to dissolved oxygen inwater that

11、 would require nitrogen sparging prior to using forcollection of the reference spectrum.4.2.2 Nitrogen sparging and re-measurement of suspect orborderline glycol samples at 220 nm can be used as a tool torule out or confirm the presence of UV affecting contaminantsother than oxygen.5.

Sampling7.1 The following precautions must be observed carefullysince the ultraviolet transmittance is very sensitive to smallamounts of extraneous material contaminating the sample andto oxygen dissolved in the sample through air contact. Thesample connection must be protected

31、 against accidental con-tamination and designed so that it will permit convenientpositioning of the sample bottle to the sample outlet in order tominimize air contact, that is, the descending stream of sampleshould be as short as possible. Purge the sampling linethoroughly with sample. Fill the bott

A “gentle stream” is a rate of flow that avoidsspattering, splashing, or other aggressive manifestations on thepart of the sample flow.

36、.1 Wavelength AccuracyCheck the wavelength accu-racy of the spectrophotometer at 220 nm, in accordance withthe manufacturers instructions, for example, by means of anaphthalene solution (Warningsee 6.5) in a 10-mm cell. Ifthe scale reading at the observed band maximum differs bymore than 0.3 nm from

37、 220.6 nm (wavelength of naphthaleneband maximum), measure the absorbance in the actual proce-dure (Section 10) at a wavelength setting of 0.6 nm below thevalue found for the naphthalene band maximum.8.1.1.1 Alternatively, wavelength accuracy may be checkedusing the calibrated holmium oxide filter (

38、6.2). Naphthalene isthe preferred material for this purpose but holmium oxide is asufficient alternative.NOTE 6Since the absorbance of monoethylene glycol rises consider-ably at wavelengths shorter than 220 nm, it is essential that the wavelengthposition in this region is accurately set.8.1.2 Photom

39、etric AccuracyCheck that the photometricaccuracy of the spectrophotometer is in accordance with theinstrumental specification (see 5.1), for example, by means ofstandard absorbance filters or solutions of suitable materials(WarningSee 6.7).8.1.3 Stray LightCheck that any stray light emanatingfrom th

40、e spectrophotometer at 220 nm does not exceed theinstrumental specification (see 5.1), for example, by means ofa stray light filter or a solution of a suitable material (see 6.4and 6.5).8.2 GlasswareThoroughly clean the cells, and otherglassware, using the guidelines described in Practice E 275.8.3

41、Nitrogen Stripping Apparatus (Option A, 3.2.1)Assemble the apparatus and flush thoroughly with nitrogen.Pass nitrogen through 20 mL of monoethylene glycol con-tained in a 25-mL volumetric flask and check the quality of thenitrogen by measuring the absorbance at 220 nm, in order tosee whether it rema

42、ins constant after a possible initial decreasedue to the removal of dissolved oxygen.9. Sample Preparation (Option A only-skip to 10 if usingOption B)9.1 Strip the sample with nitrogen before measurement.Introduce 20 mL of test sample into a 25-mL volumetric flaskand pass a brisk stream of nitrogen

43、(see 5.2, 5.4 and 6.6)through the sample for 15 min, using a clean disposablepipette. Stopper the flask.10. Procedure10.1 Adjust the spectrophotometer to the optimum instru-ment settings, selecting the slit width to give a spectralbandwidth of 2.0 nm or less. Spectral bandwidth of 2.0 nm ispreferred

44、 as lower bandwidths increase the noise level of thespectral data.10.2 Fill two 50-mm or 10-mm matched cells with HPLCgrade (see 6.9) water. Make sure the cell windows are clear andthe water is free of bubbles. Place the cells in the cellcompartment of the spectrophotometer, noting the direction oft

45、he cells inside the cell holder, and measure the absorbances at220, 250, 275, and 350 nm, or any other wavelengths requiredby the relevant product specification. Use the cell with thehigher absorbance as the sample cell, the other as the referencecell, and record the absorbances observed as the cell

46、 correc-tions at the various wavelengths.NOTE 7With properly matched cells, the cell correction is less than0.01 absorbance units.10.3 Empty the sample cell and dry with cell tissue.Carefully fill the sample cell with the test sample. Avoidproducing bubbles in the sample. Without changing the adjust

47、-ments of the spectrophotometer, measure and record theabsorbances at the same set of wavelengths as measured in10.2 against the reference cell filled with water. Ensure that thedirection of the cells in the holder is the same as noted in 10.2.Change the water in the reference cell for each set (10.

48、2 and10.3) of measurements made.10.4 Empty the cells and rinse with water. Clean the cells atregular intervals, according to 8.2, and store filled with water.NOTE 8Although the determination in the procedure is described suchthat only one test result is obtained, it is required to perform a second(d

49、uplicate) determination to enable comparison of the duplicate resultswith the repeatability value given in Section 13.10.5 Qualtiy ControlIt is recommended that a controlchart for the UV transmittance in the Monoethylene glycolquality control sample be established and maintained accordingto generally accepted guidelines.6Measure the control sampleeach time a test sample(s) is tested, using the same calibrationprocedure as applied for the sample. If the measured valueexceeds the action limit of the control chart, take appropriateaction before proceeding w
