4、ed Nitrogen in LPG by Chemiluminescence UOP Method 936-16 Scope This method is for determining combined nitrogen in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The method determines all nitrogen compounds that are extractable by aqueous acid, including ammonia, amines, nitriles and amides. The method is particul

5、arly useful for LPG samples containing nitrogen species, such as ammonia and amines, which can readily adsorb on stainless steel surfaces in contact with the LPG. The procedure yields quantitative results in the range of 0.2 mass-ppm (mg/kg) to 3 mass%. The method is also used as a preparation step

28、 slowly adding 232 mL of glacial acetic acid from a graduated cylinder to approximately 1500 mL of water in a 2000-mL volumetric flask. After the heat of dilution dissipates, dilute to volume with water and mix thoroughly by capping the flask and inverting at least 10 times. Acetone, certified, Burd

29、ick use appropriate personal protection equipment. Usually the acetic acid drains as a milky acid-gas emulsion, which separates easily in a few minutes. Not all the acid needs to be drained, just enough for subsequent analysis. It is preferred to leave some acid in the extraction cylinder, as splash

30、ing may occur when all the acid is drained and LPG begins to come out. 12. Decant a portion of the acid extract from the Erlenmeyer flask into a 15-mL sample vial and analyze the acid extract on the chemiluminescence nitrogen analyzer as directed in ASTM Method D 4629 and according to the following

31、procedure. Preparation of Standard Solutions Pyridine stock solution, 1000 gN/mL Weigh 1.129 0.001g of pyridine to the nearest 0.001g into a clean, dry 200 mL volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with 2 N acetic acid solution. Cap and mix well. If the pyridine cannot be dispensed with sufficient pre

32、cision to achieve the exact 1.129 g weight, substitute the exact weight added for the 1.129 in Equation 1, and correct the subsequent dilutions. Equation 1 shows the calculation of the concentration of nitrogen in the stock solution: 1000 gN/mL = 200 71.17129.1(1) where: 1.129 = weight of pyridine,

Cap the flask and mix well. 1.0 gN/mL standard - Dis

36、pense 20 mL of the 10 gN/mL standard with a pipet into a clean, dry 200-mL volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with the 2N acetic acid. Cap the flask and mix well. 0.5 gN/mL standard - Dispense 20 mL of the 5 gN/mL standard with a pipet into a clean, dry 200-mL volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark

37、with 2N acetic acid. Cap the flask and mix well. 0.2 gN/mL standard - Dispense 4 mL of the 10 gN /mL standard with a pipet into a clean, dry 200-mL volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with 2N acetic acid. Cap the flask and mix well. The stock solution can be retained, if refrigerated, for up to 1 y

38、ear. The standard solutions can be retained, if refrigerated, for 3 months. Instrument Set Up Set up the nitrogen analyzer according to the manufacturers instructions. Connect the cyclone trap to the furnace outlet to prevent water in the gases from overloading the membrane drier. Allow the instrume

39、nt to warm-up and the baseline to stabilize before injecting samples. Establish analysis parameters for the 2 N acetic acid samples. Suggested operating conditions for the Mitsubishi NSX-2100V analyzer are listed in Table 2. If another instrument is used, see that instruments manual for the appropri

40、ate setup instructions.

Fill autosampler vials, one each, with the 2N acetic acid (blank) and the 0.2, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 g/mL nitrogen calibration standards. 9 of

42、 14 936-16 3. Before starting to measure calibration standards run a few blanks of 2N acetic acid to condition the instrument and to remove any residual contamination. The response should be stable before proceeding. 4. Run a calibration program with multiple 20 L injections of the solvent blank and

43、 each standard stored in the instrument software. It is recommended to inject each standard or blank at least 4 times. The instrument will average the results of the injections of each standard and the blank. Relative standard deviation (RSD), as calculated by the instrument for the blank, should be

44、 within 25%. The RSD for the standards should be within 15%. 5. Create a regression line using the instrument software using the blank and the five standards. Set the regression line to “y=bx+c”. The calibration method will be saved automatically. 6. Check the calibration curve by analyzing 0.5 gN/m

45、L and 1.0 gN/mL standards as unknowns, (enter “1”, as a density). The standards should be run in triplicate. The instrument will average the results of the triplicate injections. Sample Analysis 1. Enter the sample parameters into the software, this include sample ID, sample volume that is to be inj

46、ected (usually 20L), density (“1” for samples diluted in 2N acetic acid) and appropriate injection program, (the programs are stored under “ASC-250L” and they are established prior to the calibration). Each sample should be injected at least three times to obtain an average result. If the nitrogen c

47、oncentration of the extract exceeds the concentration of the highest standard, the extract must be diluted with 2N acetic acid until the standards span the concentration of the diluted extract. 2. Before starting to measure samples run a few blanks of 2N acetic acid to condition the instrument and t

48、o remove any residual contamination. The response should be stable before proceeding. 3. Fill the autosampler vials with the samples and place the vials onto the autosampler rack according to the saved method. 4. Inject and analyze the samples using the instrument software. Calculations Verify that

49、the acetic acid sample concentration is spanned by the calibration standards. The sample response must be read from the instrument, and the concentration of the extract must be calculated manually using Equation 2, rounding the result to two significant figures at or above 1 mg/kg, and to one significant figure below 1 mg/kg. Concentration of the combined nitrogen in the LPG, mg/kg =LMS(2) where: L = mass of the LPG,
