Determination method for methanol content in fuel methanol for motor
vehicles
A.1 Scope
This test method specifies gas chromatography for the determination of
methanol content and impurity content in fuel methanol for motor vehicles. The
method is suitable for the determination of the sample of which the mass
fraction of impurities in the vehicle fuel methanol is 0.0005% ~ 3%. Gas
chromatography does not guarantee the determination of all impurity
components in fuel methanol for motor vehicles, especially non-volatile
components or components of weak signals detected by flame ionization
detector or components without detection signals.
A.2 Method summary
Use gas chromatography. Under the selected working conditions, the sample
is vaporized through a capillary column. The components are separated and
detected by hydrogen and flame ionization detector. Determine the quantitative
correction factor. Calculate the mass fraction of the impurity component
according to the internal standard method or the external standard method.
Subtract the mass fraction of impurities and water by 100 shall be the mass
fraction of methanol.
A.3 Reagents
A.3.1 Isopropanol: chromatographically pure, internal standard.
A.3.2 Ethyl acetate: chromatographically pure, internal standard.
A.3.3 Methanol: mass fraction not less than 99.98%; the mass fraction of
ethanol does not exceed 0.001%; if the ethanol content is greater than this
amount, the background shall be subtracted.
A.3.4 Hydrogen: volume fraction is not less than 99.9%, dried and purified by
silica gel and molecular sieve.
A.3.5 Nitrogen: volume fraction is not less than 99.95%, dried and purified by
silica gel and molecular sieve.
A.3.6 Air: dried and purified by silica gel and molecular sieve.
