UOP 1015-17: Determination of Trace Oxygenates in Polymer Grade Ethylene & Propylene

�� FREE PREVIEW (First 5 Pages) ✔ First 5 pages free to download · No email required · Full document available after purchase This UOP method details the determination of trace oxygenated components in high purity polymer grade ethylene and propylene using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. It outlines the procedure for identifying specific oxygenates like 2-butanol, acetone, acetaldehyde, ethanol, isopropanol, methanol, methyl tert-butyl ether, n-propanol, n-butanol, and tert-butanol, with a lower limit of quantitation of 0.05 mol-(or mass-) ppm. The method is crucial for quality control in polyethylene and polypropylene production, ensuring monomer purity and optimal polymerization. The document includes detailed apparatus lists, procedural steps, and references to relevant ASTM standards. First 5 pages are available for free preview.
