Generally, coal-derived jet fuels contain much higher detectable concentrations of oxygenates. Standard oxy-... 

Quantitative analyses of trace oxygenated compounds with a detection limit of 1 or 10 ppm in jet fuel derived from coal liquids with GC-MS had been reported in 1988 [31], A Hewlett-Packard model 5988 GC-MS equipped with a 60-m DB-5 capillary column (250-pm i.d., 0.25-pm film thickness) was used, and two methods were applied in the GC-MS analyses. In method 1,20-nL neat sample of each fuel was injected with a split ratio of 1 50, and selected ion monitoring (SIM) was used to selectively detect each of the oxygenated standards as shown in Table 32.6. Two mass ions characteristic of each of the standard oxygenates were monitored at appropriate time intervals. Petroleum-derived JP-8 was used to prepare standard concentrations of oxygenates, because no oxygenated compounds were detected in it. Standards in petroleum-derived JP-8 were prepared at 100, 10, and 1 ppm (wt/wt) concentrations. Each standard solution...

To facilitate setting BACKFLUSH time, the column vent in Figure 1 can be connected to a second detector (TCD or FID) as described in Test Method D 4420 and used to set BACKFLUSH TIME based on the oxygenates standard containing the ethers of interest. 

The amount of oxygen used in the degradation process is called the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). A standard test has been devised to measure BOD in which the oxygen utilized by microorganisms in contact with the wastewater over a 5-day period at 20°C is measured. 

In the standard method, the metal enclosure (called the air chamber) used to hold the hydrocarbon vapors is immersed in water before the test, then drained but not dried. This mode of operation, often designated as the wet bomb" is stipulated for all materials that are exclusively petroleum. But if the fuels contain alcohols or other organic products soluble in water, the apparatus must be dried in order that the vapors are not absorbed by the water on the walls. This technique is called the dry bomb" it results in RVP values higher by about 100 mbar for some oxygenated motor fuels. When examining the numerical results, it is thus important to know the technique employed. In any case, the dry bomb method is preferred. 

There are available standard accelerated oxidation tests that consist of passing air or oxygen through an oil at elevated temperature. The test is conducted with or without the presence of catalysts or water. 

With most non-isothemial calorimeters, it is necessary to relate the temperature rise to the quantity of energy released in the process by determining the calorimeter constant, which is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of the calorimeter by one degree. This value can be detemiined by electrical calibration using a resistance heater or by measurements on well-defined reference materials [1], For example, in bomb calorimetry, the calorimeter constant is often detemiined from the temperature rise that occurs when a known mass of a highly pure standard sample of, for example, benzoic acid is burnt in oxygen. 

One standard method for determining the dissolved O2 content of natural waters and wastewaters is the Winkler method. A sample of water is collected in a fashion that prevents its exposure to the atmosphere (which might change the level of dissolved O2). The sample is then treated with a solution of MnS04, and then with a solution of NaOH and KI. Under these alkaline conditions Mn + is oxidized to Mn02 by the dissolved oxygen.

Environmental Aspects. Airborne particulate matter (187) and aerosol (188) samples from around the world have been found to contain a variety of organic monocarboxyhc and dicarboxyhc acids, including adipic acid. Traces of the acid found ia southern California air were related both to automobile exhaust emission (189) and, iadirecfly, to cyclohexene as a secondary aerosol precursor (via ozonolysis) (190). Dibasic acids (eg, succinic acid) have been found even ia such unlikely sources as the Murchison meteorite (191). PubHc health standards for adipic acid contamination of reservoir waters were evaluated with respect to toxicity, odor, taste, transparency, foam, and other criteria (192). BiodegradabiUty of adipic acid solutions was also evaluated with respect to BOD/theoretical oxygen demand ratio, rate, lag time, and other factors (193). 

Oxygen transfer rate (OTR) is estimated by the foUowiag standard procedure (12), where the rate of mass transfer per unit volume of Hquid is taken to be directly proportional to the driving force of the system...
