3 Method summary
Place sample in a 50mm or 10mm absorption cell. Use water as reference.
Determine the absorbance at 220nm, 275nm and 350nm. Calculate to obtain
the ultraviolet transmittance of sample under 10mm optical path. When
necessary, it may make access to nitrogen to remove dissolved oxygen from
the sample. Determine the ultraviolet transmittance once again.
5.3 Reagent bottle: capacity is at least 500mL; equipped with well-sealed
grinding cap.
5.4 Volumetric flask: 25mL.
5.5 Closed glass tube.
6 Sampling
According to the provisions of GB/T 6680-2003, perform sampling at a gentle
flow rate. Stop sampling when the distance between the liquid level and the
bottle mouth is less than 10mm. Immediately cover to store the sample. Sample
shall avoid violent oscillations. Analyze as soon as possible.
7 Apparatus preparation
7.1 UV spectrophotometer: according to the following steps, according to the
method specified in JJG 682-1990, inspect the performance of the photometer.
7.1.1 Wavelength accuracy: it is recommended to use naphthalene solution
(4.1); inspect the wavelength accuracy of the photometer at 220nm. Use
spectroscopic pure isooctane as reference, use 10mm absorption cell to
determine the maximum absorption wavelength of naphthalene. The measured
value shall be in the range of 220.6nm ± 0.3nm. Otherwise, it shall determine
the absorbance of ethylene glycol sample at a wavelength 0.6nm less than this
measured value.
It shall also use cerium oxide standard solution (4.2) or yttrium oxide calibration
filter (4.3) to inspect the wavelength accuracy, in accordance with requirements
of 5.1.
NOTE: The absorbance of ethylene glycol varies greatly around 220nm. Therefore, it shall
ensure the wavelength accuracy of the photometer at 220nm.
7.1.2 Light transmittance accuracy: use potassium dichromate standard
solution (4.4) or standard absorbance filter (4.5) to inspect the accuracy of
photometer transmittance, in accordance with requirements of 5.1.
7.1.3 Stray light: use sodium iodide or potassium iodide solution (4.6) or stray
light filter (4.7) to determine the light transmittance of the photometer at 220nm
(i.e. stray light), in accordance with requirements of 5.1.
7.2 Glassware: use hydrochloric acid-water-methanol solution (1:3:4, volume
ratio) or chromic acid lotion to thoroughly clean the absorption cell and other
glassware.
than 0.01AU.
9.3 Pour out the water from the sample cell. Use nitrogen to dry. Load the
sample to be tested in the sample cell. Use water (4.9) as reference. Measure
and record the absorbance of the sample at each wavelength in 9.2. Note that
the direction of the absorption cell in the cell holder shall be the same as in 9.2.
When performing each set of determinations (9.2 and 9.3), it shall replace the
water in the reference cell.
NOTE: Care shall be taken when transferring samples to avoid air bubbles and affect test
results.
9.4 Empty the absorption cell and use water to rinse. According to the
requirements of 7.2, clean the absorption cell. Fill with water for storage.
10 Calculation of results
10.1 When using 50mm absorption cell, calculate the net absorbance Aλ of the
sample at each wavelength at 10mm optical path according to formula (1):
Where,
As - Absorbance of the sample measured at the relevant wavelength;
Ac - Absorbance correction value of the absorption cell at the relevant
wavelength.
If using a 10mm absorption cell, calculate the net absorbance Aλ of the sample
at each wavelength under the 10mm optical path, according to formula (2).
10.2 According to formula (3), calculate the light transmittance Aλ of each
sample at each wavelength under 10mm optical path. Values are expressed as
a percentage.
10.3 Analysis results
Take the arithmetic mean of the results of two repeated measurements to report
