Summary of Test Method3.1 Acommon liquid sample of chlorine is recommended toprovide the best results when determining both residue andmoisture simultaneously.3.2 Liquid product sample is transferred from

12、the samecylinder into a precalibrated, 250-mL sample-residue flask andpermitted to volatilize completely under prevailing environ-mental conditions. The volatilized product (chlorine gas) ispassed through anhydrous magnesium perchlorate desiccantfor absorption of moisture. It is recommended that the

19、he absorption systemwhere moisture is recovered and determined gravimetrically.3.4 Residue remaining in the flask is determined by carefulanalytical weighing, the weight gain calculated as residuecontent of the sample. Moisture is computed from the sum ofthe gain in weight of the two absorption tube

Any gain in weight of the second absorber tubeshould be nominal with respect to that of the first tube in theseries.3.5 The moisture content of a chlorine gas stream isdetermined gravimetrically as above, by passing a meteredsample through the moisture absorption system on

Dissolve 200 g of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in waterand dilute to 1 L. Store in a tight polyethylene container.7. Hazards7.1 Chlorine is a corrosive and toxic materi

34、al. A wellventilated fume hood should be used to house the test equip-ment when this product is analyzed in the laboratory.7.2 The analysis should be attempted only by persons whoare thoroughly familiar with the handling of chlorine, and evenan experienced person should not work alone. The operatorm

35、ust be provided with adequate eye protection and respirator.Splashes of liquid chlorine destroy clothing and if suchclothing is next to the skin, will produce irritations and burns.7.3 When sampling and working with chlorine out of doors,people downwind from such operation should be warned of thepos

36、sible release of chlorine vapors.7.4 It is recommended that means should be available fordisposal of excess chlorine in an environmentally safe andacceptable manner. If chlorine cannot be disposed of in achlorine consuming process, a chlorine absorption systemshould be provided. When the analysis an

37、d sampling regimenrequires an initial purging of chlorine from a container, thepurged chlorine should be similarly handled. Purging to theatmosphere should be avoided.7.5 In the event chlorine is inhaled, first aid should besummoned immediately and oxygen administered withoutdelay.8. Sampling Tank C

38、ars, Barges, Large Cylinders, andStorage Facilities8.1 Sampling from tank cars, barges, storage tanks, andlarge cylinders present unique problems. Each facility,however, must be capable of delivering liquid-sample (not gas)for test.8.2 Since location of these larger facilities may not be at theimmed

39、iate site of analysis, sample collection in a suitablesecondary container is recommended to facilitate its safetransport to the laboratory for tests.8.3 It is recommended that samples be collected from thesefacilities in small-size sample cylinders with cylinders andvalves fabricated of tantalum or

40、nickel and capable of beingnegotiated in the laboratory fume hood. Technical literatureavailable from producers and distributors of liquid chlorineshould be consulted for instructions in filling small sizecylinders properly from bulk storage.8.4 Do not allow the sample cylinder to become liquid full

41、.A good rule is that the weight of the chlorine in the cylindershould not be more that 125 % of the weight of the water thatthe cylinder could contain in accordance with 49 CFR 173.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Thoroughly clean the absorption tubes, sample-residueflasks, and adapters free of grease

42、 and lubricants, particularly atthe ground surfaces of the joints.After thorough cleansing, drythe apparatus thermally in an oven at 105C. When cooled,charge the absorption tubes with desiccant.9.2 Charge each tube within about 20 mm of the top in eachleg with a granular form of anhydrous magnesium

43、perchlorate,minimizing the use of dusty product. Place loosely packedglass wool on the surfaces of the desiccant in both legs of theabsorber tube to avoid carry-over of chemical dust duringsample volatilization and air purge operations. Place theunlubricated stoppers firmly in the ground necks of th

44、e tubesand adjust to the “off” position preparatory to conditioningwith chlorine gas, air purge, and weighing.9.3 Connect the moisture absorption tubes in a series bymeans of appropriately sized spring clamps in an uprightoperating position supported on a ring stand.Attach the groundjoint and rubber

45、 tubing to the outlet of the second absorber forexhausting chlorine gas to the caustic scrubber.9.4 Attach a source of chlorine gas to the inlet of the firstabsorber tube, open the ground stoppers on both tubes topermit the free flow of gas through them and purge for1hata rate of 2 to 3 bubbles of c

46、hlorine gas/s when the exhaust endof the rubber tube is held momentarily beneath the surface ofwater.9.5 After purging with chlorine (see Section 10), attach thedry air supply to the first absorber in the series and aerate forexactly 5 min at a rate of 4.5 L/min.9.6 After aeration, carefully close t

47、he ground stoppers,dismantle the tubes from the assembly, and condition in theenvironment of the balance for 10 min prior to analyticalweighing of each tube. After weighing, the tubes may bereassembled for the next analysis.9.7 Conditioning of the absorber tubes with chlorine isrequired after an ini
