Determine it according to the method specified in Chapter 8 of GB/T 394.2-
2008. Use the iodine method as the arbitration method.
5.8 Determination of methanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, acetate, C4 + C5
alcohol content
5.8.1 Summary of method
Use gas chromatography, under the selected chromatographic conditions, to
separate the specimen by a chromatographic column. Use a hydrogen flame
ionization detector to detect it. Use the internal standard method, external
standard method, or corrected area normalization method to quantify it. Among
them, use the internal standard method as the arbitration method.
5.8.2 Reagents and solutions
5.8.2.1 Reference ethanol: 95% ethanol by volume, the limit of major impurities
is specified as follows: methanol is less than 2 mg/L; isopropanol is less than 2
mg/L; n-propanol is less than 2 mg/L; higher alcohol (C4 + C5 alcohol ) is less
than 1 mg/L; ester is less than 1 mg/L. When using this method for detection, it
shall not have impurity which may interfere with the internal standard.
5.8.2.2 Standard solution: Weigh 1 g of each of chromatographically pure
methanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, 2-butanol,
iso-butanol, n-butanol, isoamyl alcohol, n-pentanol (accurate to 0.0001 g) in a
1000 mL volumetric flask. Use reference ethanol to make its volume reach to
the mark. After shaking it uniformly, it obtains the 1 g/L standard solution.
5.8.2.3 Internal standard solution: Weigh 1 g (accurate to 0.0001 g) of
chromatographic pure n-hexane in a 1000 mL volumetric flask. Use reference
ethanol to make its volume reach to the mark. After shaking it uniformly, it
obtains the 1 g/L internal standard solution.
5.8.2.4 Nitrogen: The volume fraction is not less than 99.95%; it is dried and
purified by silica gel and molecular sieve.
5.8.2.5 Hydrogen: The volume fraction is not less than 99.9%; it is dried and
purified by silica gel and molecular sieve.
5.8.2.6 Air: It is dried and purified by silica gel and molecular sieve.
5.8.3 Instruments and equipment
Take a small amount of the ethanol specimen to be tested in a 10 mL volumetric
flask. Accurately add 0.50 mL of the internal standard solution. Then use the
specimen to be tested to dilute it to the mark. Mix it uniformly. Inject 1 μL of
sample.
Use the retention time of the component peak and the internal standard peak
for qualitative purpose. Use the ratio of the peak area to calculate the content
of each component.
5.8.5.2 External standard method
5.8.5.2.1 Determination of correction factors
Accurately pipette 0.50 mL of the standard solution into a 10 mL volumetric flask.
Use the standard ethanol to dilute it to the mark. Mix it uniformly. Inject 1 μL of
sample. Use the peak area to calculate the correction factor f of each
component.
5.8.5.2.2 Determination of specimen
Under the same instrument conditions as the determination of the correction
factor, take a small amount of the ethanol specimen to be tested and accurately
inject 1 μL of sample.
Use the retention time of the component peak for qualitative purpose. Use the
peak area to calculate the content of each component.
5.8.5.3 Corrected area normalization method
5.8.5.3.1 Determination of correction factors
Accurately pipette 0.50 mL of standard solution into a 10 mL volumetric flask.
Use the standard ethanol to dilute it to the mark. Mix it uniformly. Accurately
inject 1 μL of sample. Use the peak area to calculate the correction factor f for
the relative ethanol of each component except ethanol.
5.8.5.3.2 Determination of specimen
Take a small amount of ethanol specimen to be tested and accurately inject 1
μL of specimen.
Use the retention time of the component peak for qualitative purpose. Use the
ratio of the peak area to calculate the content of each component.
5.8.6 Calculation of results
5.8.6.1 Internal standard method (arbitration method)
5.8.6.1.1 The relative correction factor fi for component i is calculated according
reporting result. The absolute value of the difference between the two parallel
determinations of all components shall meet the requirements of Table 3.

determinations of each component in the determination

5.9 Determination of oxidation time of potassium permanganate
Determine it according to the method as specified in Chapter 7 of GB/T 394.2-
2008.
5.10 Determination of evaporation residue
Determine it according to GB/T 6324.2.
Take the arithmetic mean of the two parallel determination results as the
determination result. The difference between the two parallel determination
results is not greater than 2 mg/L.
5.11 Determination of chroma in sulfuric acid test
Determine it according to the method specified in Chapter 6 of GB/T 394.2-
2008.
5.12 Water miscibility test
Determine it according to the method specified in GB/T 6324.1. Choose the
ratio of specimen and water miscibility at 1 + 9 and 1 + 19, respectively.
