— This procedure is for the
determination of hydrocarbons C

in ammonia.
The sample should be gas phase and analyzed using a
gas chromatograph with a flame ionization detector.
NOTE 7: It is good practice to keep carrier gas flowing
through the instrument. This prevents the back-diffusion of
moisture and carbon dioxide in the air from contaminating the
column.
NOTE 8: When not analyzing samples, the dual column
switching valve should be set at the molecular sieve position
to prevent the silica gel column from drying out.
NOTE 9: The silica gel column will, after repeated use, tend
to dry out. This will manifest itself by the peaks of each
component becoming separated farther and farther apart.
Overall sensitivity will drop as the peak areas decrease due to
the peaks spreading out more and more.
NOTE 10: The condition of the silica gel column is restored
by allowing the carrier gas to pass through the water-saturated
silica gel trap that has been provided. (Normally the carrier
gas bypasses this trap.)
NOTE 11: The flame should be extinguished when not in use;
also the air and hydrogen is shut off; and the helium flow
reduced.
4.2.1 Detection Limit — 0.1 ppm (mole/mole).
4.2.2 Instrument Parameters
4.2.2.1 Columns:
Column 1: 13X molecular sieve, 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) by

mm ss, or equivalent.

4.2.2.3 Sample Volume: 5 mL.
4.2.2.4 Column Temperature: 40°C
4.2.2.5 Sample Flow: 150 mL/min.
4.2.2.6 Air Pressure and Flow: As specified by the
instrument manufacturer’s instructions.
4.2.2.7 Hydrogen Pressure and Flow: As specified by
the instrument manufacturer’s instructions.
4.2.3 Calibration Standards — 5–10 ppm (mole/mole)
methane in nitrogen, 5–10 ppm (mole/mole) ethane, 5–

4.2.4.2 Ignite the flame following the instrument
manufacturer’s instructions. Allow the system to
stabilize for 15 minutes. (This is also indicated by a
stable signal output.)
4.2.4.3 Inject the methane in nitrogen standard onto the
molecular sieve column to determine the retention time
for methane.
4.2.4.4 Inject the ethane and propane in nitrogen
standard onto the silica gel column to determine the
retention times for these compounds.
4.2.4.5 Inject the calibration standard onto the desired
column to determine the peak area for the compound of
interest. Record the retention times and peak areas.
4.2.4.6 Inject the sample to be tested in the same
manner as the calibration standard. Record the retention
times and peak areas.
4.2.4.7 Repeat Section 4.2.4.6.

4.3 Water — The method for the determination of
water in ammonia is based on its decomposition by the
reaction 2NH
3
→ N
2
+ 3H
2
, which occurs completely
and irreversibly when ammonia is passed over a nickel
catalyst at 1000°C. Water passes through the catalyst
unchanged. Therefore, the water content of ammonia
may be determined by measuring the dewpoint of the
stream of hydrogen and nitrogen produced by
decomposition of ammonia.
NOTE 12: The system should be checked for leaks prior to
use to preclude atmospheric contamination of the sample.
NOTE 13: The moisture analyzer must be calibrated
according to the manufacturer’s specified method prior to use.
4.3.1 Apparatus (shown in Figure 2)
4.3.1.1 The nitrogen and ammonia are connected to a
tee with 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) OD stainless steel tubing,
keeping the lines as short as is practical.
4.3.1.2 The nitrogen may be fed from a regulator.
4.3.1.3 The ammonia should be fed through a stainless
steel needle valve.
4.3.1.4 The furnace is a Lindberg Model 54032 or
equivalent, with an Inconel reaction tube. The reaction
tube is 0.6 m (24 in.) long by 25 cm (1 in.) OD and
terminates in 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) swaged tubing
connectors.
4.3.1.5 The reaction tube is filled with nickel lumps,
MCB Catalog number NX305 or equivalent.
4.3.1.6 The outlet of the furnace is connected by a 1.2
m (4 ft) by 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) OD stainless steel tubing to
a moisture analyzer suitable for determining the
concentration of water should be a mixture of hydrogen
and nitrogen at the specified concentration. This length
of tubing is required to permit adequate cooling of the
gas between the furnace and the moisture analyzer.
4.3.1.7 The outlet of the moisture analyzer is connected
to the inlet of a 0-10 CFH flowmeter.
4.3.1.8 The outlet of the flow meter is connected to an
appropriate vent for the disposal of ammonia, nitrogen
and hydrogen.
4.3.2 Operating Procedure
4.3.2.1 Start a nitrogen purge flow of approximately 5
CFH.
4.3.2.2 Set furnace to 950°C and allow to equilibrate
(approximately 1.5 to 2 hours).
4.3.2.3 With the ammonia cylinder valve closed,
disconnect the tubing from the cylinder outlet and open
the ammonia inlet needle valve to allow the ammonia
sample line to purge with nitrogen. Reconnect the
tubing to the cylinder outlet and close the needle valve.
4.3.2.4 Shut off the nitrogen flow.
4.3.2.5 Open the ammonia cylinder valve and adjust
the needle valve to obtain a flow of approximately 5
CFH.
4.3.2.6 Gradually increase the furnace temperature,
periodically testing the gas for the presence of ammonia
by placing a piece of wet red litmus paper in the vent
stream. If ammonia is present, the paper will turn blue.
When ammonia is no longer found, the appropriate
catalyst temperature has been reached.
4.3.2.7 Measure the concentration of water in the
nitrogen and hydrogen stream, following the
instructions of the moisture analyzer manufacturer.
Periodically test the vent stream for the presence of
ammonia, as described in Section 4.3.2.6, and adjust the
furnace temperature as necessary.
4.3.3 Reporting of Measurement
4.3.3.1 Double the water concentration obtained in
Section 4.3.2.7 to correct for the doubling of gas
volume by the decomposition of the ammonia.
4.3.3.2 Subtract twice the concentration of oxygen (as
measured by the procedure specified in Section 4.3) in
the sample from the concentration of water calculated
in Section 4.3.3.1. This is necessary because oxygen in
the ammonia reacts with the hydrogen formed by
decomposition to produce additional water.
4.3.3.3 The concentration of water calculated in Section
4.3.3.2 in the ammonia may not exceed the limit
specified in Section 3.
