7、ice for Applying Statistical Quality Assuranceand Control Charting Techniques to Evaluate AnalyticalMeasurement System Performance3.Summary of Test Method3.1 The sample is injected at a constant rate into a flowinghydrogen stream in a hydrogenolysis apparatus.The sampleand hydrogen are pyrolyzed at
8、a temperature of 1300 C,orabove,to convert sulfur compounds to hydrogen sulfide(H2S).Readout is by the rateometric detection of the colorimetricreaction of H2S with lead acetate.Condensable components areconverted to gaseous products,such as methane,during hy-drogenolysis.4.Significance and Use4.1 I
9、n many petroleum refining processes,low levels ofsulfur in feed stocks may poison expensive catalysts.This testmethod can be used to monitor the amount of sulfur in suchpetroleum fractions.4.2 This test method may also be used as a quality-controltool for sulfur determination in finished products.5.
10、Apparatus5.1 Pyrolysis FurnaceA furnace that can provide anadjustable temperature from 900 C to 1400 C in a 5 mminside diameter or larger tube is required to pyrolyze thesample.The furnace entry temperature shall allow insertion ofthe hypodermic tip to a depth at which the temperature is550 C to pro
11、vide sample vaporization at the injection syringetip.This temperature shall be above the boiling point of thesample and of the sulfur compounds in the sample(see Fig.1).The pyrolyzer tube may be of quartz;however,the lifetime islimited above 1250 C.Ceramic may be used at any tempera-ture.5.2 Rateome
12、tric H2S ReadoutHydrogenolysis productscontain H2S in proportion to sulfur in the sample.The H2S ismeasured by measuring rate of change of reflectance caused bydarkeningwhenleadsulfideisformed.Rateometricelectronics,adapted to provide a first derivative output,allowssufficient sensitivity to measure
