                   I.   INTRODUCTION




     The U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency (EPA)




retained Clayton Environmental  Consultants,  Inc.




to conduct a series of  emission  tests  on the carbon




adsorbers at the Reichhold  Chemical,  Inc.,  Morris,




Illinois plant.  The  carbon  adsorbers  are utilized




to recover benzene  from the  production of maleic




anhydride through  the  vapor  phase  oxidation  of




benzene.  The objective of  this  study  was to determine




the mass emission rates  and  the  mass  control  efficiency




of the system for  emissions  of  total  hydrocarbons,




benzene, total organic  acids,  formaldehyde  and total




aldehydes from a well  controlled  plant.   In  addition,




method development  information  was gained by comparing




the various methods employed to  obtain total hydrocarbon,




total aldehyde,  and  formaldehyde  concentrations.




The results of this study will  be  used in the




development of national air  pollution  emission




standards for this  industry.   This study was commis-




sioned as Project  No.  78-OCM-l,  Contract No. 68-02-2817,




Work Assignments 2  and  3.




     Clayton Environmental  Consultants,  Inc. extracted




integrated bag samples  simultaneously  from the main




inlet duct, leading from the air  heater  into the three




carbon adsorbers,  and  the combined emission  discharge

-------
3tack.  Upon  completion of each run  the  contents of




each bag were  analyzed using a gas chromatograph with




a flame ionization detector (GC/FID)  for  total hydro-




carbons and benzene.   Flask samples  were  also taken




from each bag  for  determination of formaldehyde and




total aldehydes.   Total organic acids were  determined




from the inlet  bag sample using a midget  impinger




sampling train.   In addition to the  integrated bag




sampling, two  continuous isokinetic  impinger sampling




trains were operated  at the outlet to sample simulta-




neously for formaldehyde and total aldehydes, and




total organic  acids.




     Water samples were taken from the  trough drain of




the water condenser separator and analyzed  for benzene,




total organic  acids,  formaldehyde and total aldehydes.




     Auxiliary  data acquired at the  inlet  included




determination  of  carbon dioxide, oxygen,  and carbon




monoxide content  of the bag samples  by  the  Orsat method,




and measurement  of inlet duct pressure  and  temperature.




Auxiliary  data  from  the integrated  bag  samples included




carbon dioxide,  carbon monoxide, and  oxygen determinations




by the Orsat method as well as stack  volumetric flowrates,




pressure and  temperature, as determined  from the traverses

-------
     Concurrent  with the testing conducted  by Clayton




Environmental  Consultants,  Inc., ambient  sampling was




conducted  by  Scott Environmental Technology,  Inc.




to determine  constituent levels  in  the  atmosphere




which may  be  related to stack emissions,  and  to acquire




data for dispersion modeling.   In addition,  EPA




conducted  continuous FID monitoring  of  total  hydrocarbons




at the  outlet  stack to determine time variation of




emissions  over the carbon adsorption  cycle.




     The benzene recovery system consists  of  three carbon




adsorption  beds  as depicted  in  Figures  1.1  and 1.2.




These beds  operate on a two-hour adsorption  cycle




followed by a  one-hour steam-out cycle.   The  adsorbers




are cycled  such  that two beds are adsorbing  concurrent with




one bed being  steamed-out.    In  order  to sample over a




full cycle  of  adsorption-desorption,  the  sample duration




was three  hours.  All sampling  was  performed  during the




period  of  March  15 and 16,  1978.

        II.  SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION OF  RESULTS


      Tables 2.1 through 2.5 present  the  concentrations


and  mass  emission  rates  for  each  constituent  sampled.


Concentrations are expressed as parts per million by


volume  (ppra) and metrically asmilligrams  per  cubic meter

     o
(mg/m ). Mass emission rates are expressed as pounds


per hour  (Ib/hr) and metrically as kilograms  per hour


(kg/hr).


      The first integrated bag sample at  the  outlet was


voided because the sample did not represent average


emissions  for the entire adsorption-desorption cycle.


It was thusly analyzed for neither benzene, nor total


hydrocarbons.  However, samples were  collected from the


integrated bag utilizing the flask method for subsequent


formaldehyde and total aldehyde analyses  in the Clayton


laboratory.   These  two  samples,  however, do not necessarily


represent  average process  emissions.   Sample 1 of


both standard impinger train tests was  voided because


it was collected during only a portion  of the process


cycle and, therefore, did not represent average emissions


from the  process.



Benzene Results


      Seven integrated bag samples, three at  the outlet


and four at the inlet,  were analyzed by GC/FID for benzene


content.  Three GC injections were made for each sample;
                         - 6 -

-------
 the  results  for  each  injection are reported in Appendix




 D.  In  each case  reproducibility was within five percent




 and  the  three  results  were  averaged to produce one concentra-




 tion.  The correction  for moisture in the gas stream was




 then applied according to the  methodology presented in




 Appendix C.  A final  concentration was then reported and




 used to  determine  mass emission rate for each bag sample.



       Upon graphic plotting  of the calibrated benzene




 gas standards  run on March  15  and  16,  1978,  a distinct




 discrepancy was  noted.  Additional study at  the Clayton




 Environmental  Consultants Inc.   laboratory incorporating




 the Hewlett-Packard, Model  5710A GC,  with Data System,




 further  verified this  discrepancy.   The  benzene in air




 standards did  not yield a linear calibration curve,




 either in the  field or  in the  laboratory.   The cylinders




were returned  to the gas standard  supplier for re-analysis;




the results are  tabulated in Appendix  D.   The  gas




 chromatographic  analyses of  the  10 and  100 ppm standards




were reasonably  close  to the original  gravimetric  values,




but the  500 ppm  standard measured  only  392.0 ppm by  gas




chromatography.  The original  gravimetric  analysis values




of the two low standards and the gas  chromatographic




analysis value for the high  standard  were  used to  prepare




a new  standard curve using the  least- squares fit of  the




three  calibration points.  This  graph  is  found in  Appendix




D.  Concentrations were determined  using  the original field




data and the new standard curve  and  are  reported on  Table  2.1.

      At the inlet, benzene  concentrations  ranged


from 861 to 977 ppm (2800 to  3170 mg/m3).   Mass  emission


rates ranged from  184 to  203  Ib/hr  (83.2  to  92.3  kg/hr).


The average concentration and emission  rate  at  the  inlet


was 919 ppm (2990  mg/m3) and  194 Ib/hr  (88.0 kg/hr),


respectively.   Outlet concentrations  ranged  from  42.2

                             o
to 81.4 ppm (137 to 264 mg/m-5), while mass  emission rates


ranged from 8.84 Ib/hr to 17.3  Ib/hr  (4.01  kg/hr  to


7.87 kg/hr).  The  average concentration and  mass  emission

                                          3
rate at the outlet was 62.5  ppm  (203  mg/m  )  and  13.1  Ib/hr


5.97 kg/hr), respectively.



Total Hydrocarbon  Results


      The same seven integrated bag samples,  three  at the


outlet, and four at the inlet, were analyzed  by GC/FID for


total hydrocarbon  content.   As with the benzene samples,


three injections were made per  sample.  The  results  were


averaged and the moisture correction  applied to  report one


concentration and  one mass emission rate  for  each

sample.  The results for  these  separate  injections  are


reported in Appendix D.   The  '1C  results are  reproducible


to within five percent.   Concentrations and  mass  emission


rates for these integrated bag  samples  are  presented  in


Table 2.2.


      At the inlet, total hydrocarbon concentrations  ranged


fromi360 to 1620 ppm (2490 to  2970 mg/m3)  and averaged 1550


ppm (2840 mg/m ).  Mass emission rates  ranged from 2.61 to

Total Organic  Acid  Results


      A  total  of  seven  samples  were taken and analyzed


for total organic acids.  The  four  integrated bag samples


withdrawn from the  inlet  duct  were  sampled with a midget


impinger train.   The  remaining  three  samples were extracted


from the outlet  utilizing a  standard  impinger train method


discussed in  Section  V  and  further  detailed in Appendix C.


Table 2.3 presents  the  results.


      Total  organic  acid  concentrations at the inlet, expressed


as maleic acid,  ranged  from  less  than  2.62 to 17.6 ppm  (less


than 12.7 to  85  mg/m3).   Mass  emission rates for these


samples  ranged from  less  than  0.835 to 5.57 Ib/hr  (less


than 0.379 to  2.53 kg/hr).   The  average concentration and


mass emission  rate at the inlet  was 12.1  ppm (58.4 mg/m3)


and 3.81 Ib/hr (1.73  kg/hr), respectively.   Total  organic


acid concentrations  sampled  with  the  standard impinger train


at the outlet  ranged  from less  than 0.238 to 1.16  ppm (less

                      3
than 1.15 to  5.60 mg/m  ), while  mass  emission rates  ranged


from less than 0.074  to 0.361  Ib/hr (less than 0.033  to 0.164


kg/hr).   The average  concentration  and mass loading  rate at


the outlet was 0.773  ppm  (3.73  mg/m3)  and 0.242  Ib/hr (0.110


kg/hr),   respectively.

total aldehydes.  Eight  flask  samples were  taken,  four

each from the inlet and  outlet integrated  bag  samples.

In addition, three samples were drawn through  a  standard

impinger train at the outlet.  Both  of  these methods are

discussed in Section V  and further delineated  in Appendix C.

Due to the  short duration of the outlet  run, Sample 1

utilizing the flask method did not necessarily represent

average process emissions.  The results  for outlet  flask

Sample 4 are an order of magnitude greater  than  the

other three samples.  Repetition of  the  analysis in this

case confirmed the reported results, although  they  are  not

included in the overall  average.

     As presented on Table 2.4, concentrations of  the inlet

total aldehyde flask samples ranged  from 74.8  to 157 ppm

(93.4 to 196 mg/m3), and averaged 108 ppm  (135 mg/m3).

Mass emission rates ranged from 6.02 to  12.9 Ib/hr  (2.73 to

5.86 kg/hr), and averaged 8.77 Ib/hr (3.98  kg/hr).

     For the flask samples taken at  the  outlet,  the total

aldehyde concentrations  ranged from  less than  9.21  to 13.0

ppm (less than 11.5 to  16.2 mg/m3) and  averaged  11.4 ppm

(14.2 mg/m3). Concentrations utilizing  the  standard impinger

train sampling method ranged from 2.40  to  3.56 ppm  (2.99 to

4.45 mg/m3), and averaged 2.81 ppm (3.51 mg/m3).   An average

differential of  8.6  ppm exists in  the  data for these  two

sampling methods.  EPA  personnel are reviewing the  sampling

collection methods to determine the  reason(s)  for  this

discrepancy.

      Mass emission  rates  for  the  flask method  ranged from


less than 0.754  to  1.04  Ib/hr  (less  than 0.342  to  0.471


kg/hr), while mass  emission  rates  utilizing  the impinger


train method ranged  from 0.192  to  0.292 Ib/hr  (0.087


to 0.132 kg/hr).  The  average  mass emission  rate with the


flask method was 0.922  Ib/hr  (0.418  kg/hr) and with  the


impinger train method  0.228  Ib/hr  (0.103 kg/hr).  Less


than values were not included  in averaging  results,  as


they indicate the lower  limit  of detectability  of  the


method for total aldehyde  in a  given  sample  volume.



Formaldehyde Results


      Eleven samples,  consisting of  eight  flask samples,


four each from the  inlet and outlet  integrated  bag samples,


and three outlet samples extracted through  a standard


impinger train, were taken and  analyzed for  formaldehyde.


Both of these methods  are  discussed  in  Section  V and  further


delineated in Appendix C.  Results are  presented on  Table


2.5.  Sample 1 at the  outlet does  not necessarily


represent average process  emissions due to  the  short


duration of sample collection.

ranged from  1.32 to  1.78  ppm  (1.65 to 2.22  mg/m3)  and




averaged 1.49  ppm  (1.86 mg/m3).  Mass emission rates with




the flask method ranged from  less  than 0.043  to 0.144




Ib/hr, (less than 0.019 to 0.065 kg/hr)  and from 0.106




to 0.146 Ib/hr, (0.048 to  0.066 kg/hr) for the impinger

Removal Efficiency




      Constituent removal efficiencies expressed  as a




percent,  are presented  in Table  2.6.   Efficiencies are




calculated using the mass emission rate  data  from  Tables




2.1 through 2.5.




      Removal  efficiency  for  benzene ranged from 90.6 to




95.4 percent and averaged 93.1 percent over three  tests.




For total hydrocarbons  the range was 90.9 to  95.1  percent




with an average of  93.0 percent.   The average removal




efficiency for  total aldehydes utilizing the  flask method




was 91.1 percent.   Aldehyde removal  efficiencies  for Sample




2 did not apply due  to  an indeterminate  lower detection limit




value for the  mass  emission rates.   Sample  4  did  not yield

the standard  impinger  train  method,  removal efficiencies




for total aldehydes  ranged  from 96.0 to 97.9  percent




and averaged  96.9  percent.   Formaldehyde removal efficiencies




utilizing the  flask  method  ranged  from 97.5 to 98.0

Water Sampling




      Ten water samples  from  the water condenser separator




trough drain were  collected  and each was analyzed  for benzene,




total aldehydes,  formaldehyde,  and total organic acids.




Results for  these  samples  are presented  in Table 2.7.




Concentrations are expressed  as milligrams per liter (mg/1).




Mass emission rates  were determined  using  an  assumed standard




flowrate of  75 liters per  minute  (1pm) and are expressed as




kilograms per hour (kg/hr).   This assumption  was suggested




by EPA.

 Total  Hydrocarbon FID Continuous Monitoring





      Continuous monitoring of total hydrocarbons at the



 outlet, utilizing a portable battery operated FID, was




 conducted  by  EPA during all tests.  Qualitative analysis




 indicates  that total  hydrocarbon emissions are highly




 variable over  the process cycle.  Total hydrocarbon emissions




appeared to peak when a wet desorbed carbon bed was brought




 on line.   For  the next five to  ten minutes,  the total




 hydrocarbon concentrations decreased by an order of magnitude.




 Until  the  next desorbed carbon  bed was brought on line




 (approximately 50 minutes), the  THC concentration would




 gradually  rise to approximately  twice the lowest concentration,

    III.   PROCESS  DESCRIPTION  AND  OPERATION

      The  Reichhold  maleic  anhydride  production  facility

consists of  a  single train  of  equipment,  with  the

exception  of multiple  reactors.  The  process was

licensed from  Lurgi  and  the plant  was  built by Badger

in  1971.   The  nameplate  capacity of  the  maleic

anhydride  facility is  20,000 Mg per  year  (44 million

Ibs per year).   At the time the plant  was sampled,

the facility was operating  at  approximately 40 percent

of  this maximum  annual capacity.

      Maleic anhydride is produced by  the following

vapor-phase  chemical reaction:

                           H         °
              D2    	»   I)      ^0 + 2 H20   +    2  C02

                              ANHYDRIDE               DIOXIDE

     A mixture of benzene and  air enters a  tubular  reactor

where the catalytic  oxidation  of benzene occurs.

The reactor feed mixture is provided  with excess  air  to

keep the benzene concentration  below  its explosive  limit

of 1.5 volume percent. The resultant  large  volume of

reactor exhaust directly influences  the size  of the

subsequent product  recovery equipment.   After reaction,

the stream passes through a series of switch  condensers

for primary product recovery.   A  series of  condensers  are
                         - 23 -

-------
alternately cooled to  freeze maleic  anhydride  on the




surface and then heated  to melt  the  maleic  anhydride




for pumping to crude maleic anhydride  storage.   The




remaining product and  other organics enter  the  product




recovery absorber where  they are  contacted  with water




or aqueous maleic acid.  The liquid  effluent  from the




absorber is about a 40 weight percent  aqueous  solution




of maleic acid.  The absorber vent is  directed  to the




carbon adsorption system.




      The maleic acid  is dehydrated  by  the  use  of a




double effect evaporator, operated under a  vacuum.  The




crude maleic anhydride from this  column is  then combined




with the crude maleic  anhydride  from the condensers.




This crude maleic anhydride is fed to  a fractionation




column which yields purified molten maleic  anhydride as




the overhead product.  The fractionation column bottoms




containing the color-forming impurities are removed as




liquid residue waste.




      Essentially all process emissions will exit  through




the product recovery adsorber.   These  emissions  will include




any unreacted benzene, which can  constitute three  to seven




percent of the total benzene feed.   The only other process




emission source is the refining vacuum  system vent, which




can contain small amounts of maleic  anhydride and  a slight

amount of benzene, since benzene could be absorbed




in the liquid stream from the product recovery




adsorber or in the crude maleic anhydride from the




condensers.




      Field data sheets pertinent to the process




operation and the operation of the carbon adsorption




system are in Appendix B.  There were no process




upsets during the sampling effort.

          IV.   LOCATION  OF  SAMPLING  POINTS




      The inlet  sampling  location  was  a  42-inch (106.7 cm)




I.D. duct leading  from the  air  heater  to three carbon




adsorption units.  Air volume traverses  were  not performed




for this duct due  to  inadequate  upstream-downstream duct




disturbance relationships and the  absence  of  suitably




sized sampling  ports.  The  explosive nature of the




carrier gas stream precluded the installation of ports,




although an existing  1/2-inch process  gas  sampling  line




was modified for extraction of  gaseous samples.   The




sampling line was  approximately  one  duct diameter  downstream




of any floxj disturbance.  The duct is  represented




schematically in Figure  4.1.




      The combined emission discharge  stack,  from  which




the carbon adsorber outlet  samples were  extracted,  was a




42-inch (106.7  cm) I.D.  stainless  steel  stack,  96  feet




(29.3 meters) in height, with the  sampling platform at




the  38  foot  (11.6  meter) level.   This  sampling  location




allowed for 12.9 diameters  of straight,unobstructed length




downstream of the ports and 7.1  diameters  upstream  of the




port s.




      Velocity  pressure and temperature  traverses were




performed at the outlet  sampling location  prior  to  each




days' testing (see Appendix A) to  determine stack  flow-




rate parameters.  Each traverse  consisted  of  12  points.




Figure  4.2 depicts the outlet sampling location  along with

       V.   SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES




Integrated  Bag  Sampling
      Integrated  bag  samples were withdrawn  simultaneously




from the duct  leading from the air heater  to  the  three




carbon adsorption units,  and the main stack  exhausting




these adsorbers.   The sampling system employed  an  air




aspiration  technique  for  sample extraction at both the




inlet and outlet,  as  depicted in Figures 5.1  and  5.2,




respectively.   Evacuated  Tedlar® bags, each with a  volume




of four cubic  feet, were  placed inside insulated  steel




drums and connected  to the extraction piping  assembly




with Teflon^ tubing.   To  maintain the temperature  inside




the Tedlar^ bags  above the dew point of  the  gas during




sample extraction,  the temperature of the  drums was




maintained  at  120 to  165°F.   This was accomplished by




wrapping the  drums  with copper tubing and  feeding  plant




steam through  the coils.   The Teflon^ sampling  line,




shrouded with  flexible stainless steel braid, was  heated




by steam to  maintain  the  sampled gas temperature  above




stack temperature.




      Sampling  commenced  at  the onset of a one-hour




desorption  cycle  and  lasted  for three full cycles  (three




hours).  When  the temperature inside the steel  drums  was




up to stack/duct  temperature, the stainless  steel  sampling




probe was inserted  into the  stack/duct and connected




sequentially  to  a flow meter and the Tedlar^ bag  flow




control valve,  using  Teflon^ tubing.  An air  aspirator

      Immediately  following  the three-hour sampling




period,  the heated  drums  were transferred from the




sampling locations  to  a clean, dust free area, where




each drum was  placed  inside  a heated container to




maintain the  drum  temperature at approximately 150°F.




The collected  sample  in each bag was then analyzed




by GC/FID for  total  hydrocarbons and benzene.







Gas Chromatograph  Field Analyses




      The method utilized  for the determination of benzene




and total hydrocarbon  concentrations is in accordance with




the gas  chromatograph  method:  Determination of Benzene




From Stationary Sources,  delineated in  Appendix C.  Gas




chromatographic field  analyses were performed utilizing




an Analytical  Instrument  Development (AID) GC/FID




equipped with  two  columns, one for  the  determination of




benzene, and  the other  for  the determination of total




hydrocarbons  (Figure  5.3).   Both columns were operated




under similar  conditions:   75°C oven temperature, 105°C




detector temperature,  and  30 ml/min  carrier gas flowrate

 (zero nitrogen).   The  system  operated  in conjunction




with a  1.0 ml heated gas  sampling  loop and  heated




sampling  line.




      An  SP  1200/Bentone  34 Column,  six feet  long by




1/8 inch, was used  to  measure  benzene, as  described in




the above method.   This  same  column  was used  to  attempt




to distinguish   both methane  and ethane from  other




hydrocarbons  in  the samples.   However, retention-time




separation was not  adequate for  resolution.  Further analyses




were conducted on  the  last set  of  bag  samples at  the Clayton




Environmental Consultants, Inc.  laboratory  using  a




ten percent  FFAP on 80/100 mesh  CW-AW  DMCS  column and a




Hewlett-Packard, Model 5710A  GC with Lab Data System.




No appreciable level of methane or ethane was found.




      An  unrestricted  stainless steel  column  was  used




for the determination  of  total hydrocarbons  (as  propane).




This column  allows  no  separation of  hydrocarbons, therefore,




a single  peak represented total hydrocarbons.  The peak




height was compared to a  standard curve for  a set of




propane standards, which  were  calculated and  reported as




total hydrocarbons  (as propane).




      In  determining total hydrocarbons  as well  as benzene,




the type  of  column  and the response  of the AID detector




produced  peaks too narrow to  integrate,  therefore, peak




heights were used  to calculate concentrations.   This




was justified in the triplicate analyses of all  standards






                       -  35 -

and samples, in which  reproducibility  was  better than




+ 5 percent.






Aldehyde Sampling




      To determine the  formaldehyde  and  total  aldehyde




content of the sampled  gas,  samples  from both  the inlet




and outlet integrated  sampling bags  were  taken  using  the




flask method described  in the Los Angeles  County,  Air




Pollution Control District  (LAAPCD)  Air  Pollution Source




Testing Manual, November, 1963.  In  accordance  with this




method, ten milliliters of  one percent  sodium  bisulfite




(NaHS03) solution was  added  to a  flask  containing an




approximate volume of  two liters.   The  flask was first




evacuated and then connected  to  the  Tedlar*^ bag where




gases from the bag entered  and filled  the  flask.  The




sampling flask train is depicted  in  Figure  5.4.   After




the sample was taken,  the flask was  shaken  vigorously




for 15 minutes, and then connected  to  a  mercury slack




tube to determine the  flask  pressure.   The  sodium bisulfite




solution within the flask was then  transferred  to a clean




sample bottle.  Each flask  x^as rinsed  with  two  five-




milliliter portions of  distilled  x^ater,  and these rinsings




were placed in the same sample bottle  as  the sodium




bisulfite solution.  The sample was  then  returned to  the




Clayton Environmental  Consultants,  Inc.  laboratory to be




analyzed for formaldehyde and total  aldehydes.

      In addition to the aforementioned  method  of




analyzing for formaldehyde and  total  aldehydes,




a continuous isokinetic impinger  sampling  train  was




operated at the outlet to sample  for  formaldehyde




and total aldehydes.  The sampling  procedure was in




accordance with guidelines outlined in Tentative Method




for Isokinetic Determination of Pollutant  Levels in




the Effluent of Formaldehyde Manufacturing  Facilities,




included in Appendix C.  The sampling train used for




this method (Figure 5.5) consisted  of a  sharp,tapered,




stainless steel nozzle, a Teflon-lined probe, two




standard Greenburg- Smith impingers, each containing




100 milliliters of one percent  sodium bisulfite




solution, a modified Greenburg-Smith  impinger initially




dry, a modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing




400 grams of silica gel, a leakless pump with vacuum  gauge,




a calibrated dry gas meter with inlet and  outlet thermom-




eters, and an orifice which was connected  to a  zero to




ten inch water gauge manometer.   The  gases  were  sampled




isokinetically at a single point  and  concurrently with




the Tedlar bag sampling.




      Following each three hour test, the  nozzle and




probe assembly was rinsed and brushed with  one percent

rinse.   Rinsings  were  contained  in  clean glass sample




bottles  with  Teflon®lined  caps.   The  impinger contents




up  to  the  silica  gel  impinger  were  carefully measured




and transferred to  clean  sample  bottles;  the impingers




were then  rinsed  with  distilled  water.   These rinsings




were combined with  the  impinger  contents  in  the  same




sample bottle.  The silica  gel impinger  was  reweighed




on  a triple beam  balance,  and  the weight  increase




recorded.




       The  analytical method  used  to determine total




aldehydes  (for both the aforementioned methods)  complied




with that  outlined  in  the  Los Angeles County,  Air




Pollution  Control District  (LAAPCD),  Air  Pollution




Source Testing Manual,  November,  1963, with  one  modifica-




tion for the flask  samples.  Since  the total volume of




the sample was 20 ml, an aliquot  was diluted  to 20 ml




and 20 ml  of buffer solution was  added,  rather than using




50 ml of sample and 50 ml of buffer solution.




      To determine  the  formaldehyde content  of these




samples, the chromotropic acid method entitled,  Formaldehyde




in Ambient Air, Industrial Hygiene, and  Stack  Gas Samples,




was utilized.   Detailed procedures  for both  of these  methods




are located in Appendix C.






Total Organic Acid Sampling




       Each Tedlar®  bag  gas  sample from the inlet location was



analyzed for total organic acids.   Sample extraction  was

performed  in  accordance with  the  Los  Angeles County,


Air Pollution Control  District  (LAAPCD),  Air Pollution


Source Testing  Manual,  November,  1963,  with the exception


that gases  from the  Tedlar^bags were drawn  through  four


midget impingers,  as depicted  in  Figure 5.6.  The


sampling  train  consisted  of  TefIon® tubing  connecting  the

                                   /e\
four midget impingers  to  the  Tedlar^bags,  the  first


three each  containing  15  milliliters  of five percent


sodium hydroxide  (NaOH) solution  and  the  fourth


being dry,  a  weighed silica  gel tube,  a critical


orifice calibrated at  approximately 1.0 liter  per minute,


a leakless  pump,  and a dry gas  meter.   Samples were


extracted  from  each bag for  30  minutes.   At the conclusion


of the sampling  period, the  impinger  contents  were


carefully  transferred  to  clean  sample  bottles,  along


with water  washings of the impinger assembly.   The silica


gel tube was  reweighed to determine the  amount  of condensate


collected.


      Simultaneously with the  formaldehyde  and  total aldehyde


sampling train  run at  the outlet,  a similar sampling


train was used  to  sample  isokinetically  for total organic


acids (Figure 5.5).  The  only difference  in the train


was that 100  milliliters  of  five-percent  sodium hydroxide


solution was  used  in each of the  first  two  standard


impingers  to  absorb the total organic  acids.   Following


the three-hour  sampling period, the sampling train was

The impinger contents were measured to determine the




condensate volume, and the contents then transferred




into clean sample bottles.  The impingers were rinsed




with a minimal amount of distilled water, and the rinsings




placed into the same sample bottles.  The probe and




nozzle assembly was brushed with five percent sodium




hydroxide solution and then rinsed with distilled




water.  These rinsings were combined in a separate




clean sample bottle.  The silica gel impinger was




reweighed to determine the weight gain.




      All of the sodium hydroxide solution samples




were carefully shipped to the Clayton Environmental




Consultants, Inc., laboratory for analysis for total organic




acids by the ether extraction method as outlined in




the Los Angeles County, Air Pollution Control District




(LAAPCD) Air Pollution Source Testing Manual, November  1963,




details of which can be found in Appendix C.






Or sat Analys i s




      Each integrated bag sample, from both the inlet and




outlet, was analyzed by the Orsat method for carbon dioxide,




oxygen, and carbon monoxide concentrations, as specified




in EPA-Method 3.  These results were used to calculate  the




molecular weight of the process gas.

-------
Water Sampling




      In addition to the gas  samples,  ten water  samples




were taken from the trough drain of  the water  condenser




separator  (Figure 5.7) for analyses  of benzene,  total




organic acids, formaldehyde   and total aldehydes.   Of




these ten  samples, four were  taken on  March  15,  1978




and six on March 16, 1978.




      The method employed for the analysis of  benzene  in




the steam  stripper water effluent samples was  gas  chroma-




tography with flame ionization detection.  The column




selected for the chromatography was  a  stainless  steel




ten percent FFAP on 80/100 mesh Chromosorb W,  AW,  DMCS,




20' x 1/8" at 100°C and a nitrogen carrier gas with  a




flowrate of 30 milliliters per minute.  When using  this




column under these conditions, benzene separated with




relatively good efficiency from the  other organics  in




the samples.   However, as with most  organics in water




samples, a problem arises when using flame ionization




detection.  A large,  broad and overwhelming peak, due




to the water in the  sample,  is detected which obscures




organic   compounds having similar retention times.




      In order to alleviate  the problem of the water peak




interference, carbon disulfide extractions were performed




on the samples.   The extraction method  was adapted




from ASTM D2778-70 (1974) and consisted of adjusting the




pH of all samples, blanks, and recoveries to pH 7.0 + 0.1.

 One  hundred  milliliters of the sample was then shaken




 with 5.0  ml  carbon disulfide in a separatory funnel




 for  two minutes.   The  aqueous  layer was discarded and




 carbon disulfide  was  eluted into a clean dry vial.




 Approximately  three grams  of dry sodium sulfate (Na2SOA>




 was  added  to the  vial  to absorb any residual water.




 The  sample was  then analyzed by gas chromatography with a




 flame ionization  detector  and  concentrations were




 calculated as  compared  to  a prepared benzene,  in carbon




 disulfide, standard curve.




      To  determine  the  total aldehyde concentration in




 the  water  samples,  an  aliquot  of the sample  was first




 treated with sodium bisulfite  to make a  one percent




solution.   These solutions  were  titrated with 0.1 N




 iodine rather  than  the  0.005 N  iodine solution  which




was  used  for the  other  aldehyde  determinations.   All




other aspects  of  the aldehyde  determinations in these




water samples were  performed according  to  the  Los  Angeles




County,  Air Pollution Control  District,  Air  Pollution




Source Testing Manual,  November,  1963.




      Formaldehyde  in the  water  samples  was  determined




on an aliquot of  each sample by  the  chromotropic  acid




method entitled:  Formaldehyde  in  Ambient Air,  Industrial




Hygieneand Stack Gas Samples.

      Total organic acids were analyzed in the water




samples in accordance with the method outlined in




the LAAPCD, Air Pollution Source Testing Manual, November,




1963.   This method as well as that of formaldehyde




in water and total aldehyde in water, with the noted




exception, are presented in Appendix C.

Calculation of  Emissions

     The dry volume  of sampled gas corrected to standard conditions

of 68°F  and 760 mm  Hg  (29.92  in.  Hg)  is calculated as follows:
     Vm    = 17'65  * V™  *         13.6
       std
                      Tm  +  460
The dry stack gas  flowrate  corrected to standard conditions  is

calculated using  the  following  set  of equations sequentially:
     VWgas = 0.0471  *  Vw

-------
     Stack gas flowrate may  be  expressed  metrically as dry standard



cubic meters per minute  (DSm^/min), £n terms of actual cubic



feet per minute  (ACFM) and metrically as  actual cubic meters per



minute  (AnrVmin) with  use of the  following equations:



     Qm    = Qs  * 0.02832



             0.05667 * Qs *  (Ts + 460)

     Qa    "           PS* Md



     Qam   = Qa  * 0.02832.

             Vs * Tt *  Ps  *  Md  *  (Dn)z




     To determine the concentration of  each gas in parts per



million (ppm) the following  equation is used:




     Ce    = 848.9 *	SW.  ..„—  .

      §              vmstd*MWg



     When metric units  are desired,  the concentration is calcu-



lated in milligrams per  dry  standard cubic meter (mg/DSm ) as



fo1 lows:



                     SW
     CM,
              -(0.02832)(Vmstd)
     The mass loading  rate  of  a  particular gas in pounds per



hour can be  calculated from the  parts per million concentration



using the  following  equation:



     ERB   = 0.1559  *  10-6  * C  *QS * MW
       O                       O          §


For metric units,  in kilograms per hour.



     ERMg  = ERg  » 0.4536.

-------
To avoid  rounding  errors  it  is  preferable  to carry out the calcu-




lation of concentration  and  mass  loading  rate in one operation.




     Removal efficiency  is calculated  using the  pounds per hour




mass loading rate  in  the  following  equation:
Example Calculation




     Using the  data  from  Total  Organic  Acid Test  2  at the outlet




location an example  of  the  calculation  of  sampled volume in dry




standard cubic  feet  (DSCF)is  as  follows:




     Given:




     Pb    =  29.64 in.  Hg




     Pm    =  1. 88 in H20




     Tm    =  94°F




     Vm    =  136.243 ft3




     Vw    =  247 ml




and using the  first  two equations  on  page  2:




     VWgas =  H.6 SCF
     Because  the  test  only  sampled  at  one  point,  a complete




velocity traverse conducted  on  the  same  day is  used  to determine




the following values:
      V A Ps *  (Ts + 460)   =• 12.59




     Cp     =  0.99




     Ts     =  122°F




with the following additional  information  from the  data sheet:
                                 _ 4 -

-------
     As     =  1385 sq. in.




     Pst    =  0.006 in. Hg




and the  following data from  the  Orsat  data sheet taken  from  the




corresponding integrated bag sample:




     7:C02   =  1.9




     7,02    =15.4




     7;CO    =1.0




     %N2    =81.7.




     Then  using  the equations  on  pages 2 and 3, the  flowrate  in dry




standard cubic  feet per minute can  be  calculated.




     7:M     =  8,2




     Md     =  0.918




     MWd    =  28.92




     MW     =  28.02




     Ps     =  29.65  in. Hg




     Vs     =  2210 fpm




     Qs     =  17500  DSCFM.




     Then  using  the equations  on  pf-gt;  3, flowrate can be  expressed




as fol1ows :




     Qm     =  496 DSm3/min




     Qa     =21200  ACFM




     Qs.ni    =  601 Am^/min.




This flow  is  then used for all sampling conducted on the  same




day.

-------
     Percent of isokinetic variation was not applicable

for these tests as they were run at a single point and

a preliminary traverse was run to determine stack

ve lo ci t ie s ,

      Concentrations  can  then be  determined  for  total

organic  acids.  Following  the  formula given  in  the

analytical  procedure  for  organic  acids  (Appendix  C),

the constant 0.0580  converting  the  value  from acetic

acid  to  maleic  acid  and  using  the  following  values

from  the  analytical  procedure,  sample weight may

be  determined.

       Give- :

       f   =   12.16   (aliquot  factor)

       n   =   0.0961  (normality)

       vg =   0.20    (volume of  0.1 N NaOH.  for sample
                       tit rat ion,  ml)

       vt, =   0.10    (volume of  0.1 N NaOH  used for  blank
                       tit ration,  ml)

       then :

       SW =   6.8 mg

With  this and  the molecular weight  of 116  for maleic

acid  and the formulae  on  page  3,  concentrations may  be

de termined.

       Cg =   0.386  ppm

       CMg =   1.86 mg/DSm3

       Mass  loading rate  for total  organic acids can  then

be  determined  utilizing  the equations on  page 3.

       ER =   0.122  Ib/hr
      ERM =    0.055 kg/hr
         O
                          - 6  -

-------
      Removal efficiency can be determined using  the




pounds per hour value previously calculated together




with the pounds per hour value calculated for the




simultaneous test at the inlet location and the equation




on page 4.




      Given:




      ERgi=   5.57 Ib/hr




      then :




      %R  =   97.8%




      Concentrations and mass loading rates are determined




similarly for each of the other constituents sampled.




Concentrations for benzene and total hydrocarbons are




determined  from the gas chromatograms, and a correction




for percent moisture applied according to the method




in Appendix C.




     Given for benzene:




     C0   =   74.7 ppm (from gas chromatograms)
      O



     %M   =   8.2




     MW   =   78.1

then :




     Cg   =   81.4 ppm (corrected)




     ERg  =   17.3 Ib/hr




     ERMP =   7.87 kg/hr
        O


and given for total hydrocarbons:




     Cg   =   147 ppm  (from gas chromatogram)



     MWg  =   44.1

-------
then :



     Cg   =    147 ppm  (corrected)



     ERE  =    17.7  Ib/hr
       O


     ERM_ =    8.02  kg/hr
        O


     A separate train was operated  to collect  for  total



aldehydes and  formaldehyde, and  thus a different volume



of air was sampled.  However, calculated  in  the  same



manner as above  Test 2 for aldehydes yielded:



     Vmstd = 127 DSCF



     Flowrate  determinations were made from  a  traverse



conducted previous  to the days sampling.  Sample weight



determinations were made according  to the respective



method delineated in Appendix C.



     Thus given :



     SWg  =  16 mg



     MWg  =  30



     The following  concentrations and mass loading  rates



can be determined:



     Cg   =  3.56 ppm



     CMg  =  4.45 mg/m3



     ERB  =  0.292  Ib/hr
       O


     ERM  =  0.132 kg/hr
        O


     Similarly for  formaldehyde given:



     SWg  =  7.98 mg



     MW   =  30
       O


then :



     C~   = 1.78 ppm

                    FROM STAtlONARY SOURCES
                         INTRODUCTION
          Performance of this mathod should not be attempted
          by persons unfamiliar with the operation of a gas
          chromatograph, nor by those who are unfamiliar with
          source sampling, as there are many details that are
          beyond the scope of this presentation.  Care must
          be exercised to prevent exposure of sampling personnel
          to benzene, a carcinogen.
1.  Principle and Applicability
     1.1  Principle.  An integrated  bag sample of stack gas containing
benzene and other organics is  subjected to gas chromatographic (GC)
analysis, using a flame ionization detector (FID).
     1.2  Applicability.  The  method is applicable to the measurement
of benzene in stack gases only from  specified processes.  It is not
             •
applicable where the benzene is  contained in participate matter.
2.  Range and Sensitivity
     The procedure described herein  is applicable to the measurement
Of benzene in the 0.1 to 70 ppm  range.  The upper limit may be
extended by extending the calibration range or by dilution of the
sample.
3.  Interferences
     The chromatograph columns and the corresponding operating
parameters herein described have been represented as being useful for
producing an adequate resolution of  benzene.  However, resolution
interferences may be encountered on  some sources.  Also, the chro-
matograph operator may know of a column that will produce a superior

-------
resolution of benzene without reducing the response to benzene
as specified in Section 4.3.1.
     In any event, the chromatograph operator shall  select a
column which is best suited to his particular analysis problem,
subject to the approval of the Administrator.  Such approval  shall
be considered automatic provided that confirming data produced
through a detnonstrably adequate supplemental analytical  technique,
such as analysis with a different column or g.c./mass spectrosccpy,
is available for review by the Administrator.
4.  Apparatus

     5.1.1  Heliuin Gas or Nitrogen Gas.  Zero grade, for chrcmatographic
carrier gas.
     5.1.2  Hydrogen Gas.  Zero grade.
     5.1.3  Oxygen Gas or Air as Required by the Detector.   Zero grade.
     5.2  Calibration.  Use one of the following options:   either 5.2.1
and 5.2.2, or 5.2.3.
     5.2.1  Benzene, 99 Mol percent pure benzene certified by the
manufacturer to contain 'a minuvjin of 99 Mol percent benzene; for use in
the preparation of standard gas mixtures as described in Section 7.1.
     5.2.2  Nitrogen Gas.  Zero grade, for preparation of standard gas
mixtures as described in Section 7.1.
     5.2.3  Cylinder Standards (3).  Gas mixture standards (50, 10,  and
5 ppm ber.zene in nitrogen cylinders) for which the gas coir.positicn has
been certified v/ith an accuracy of +3 percent or better by the
manufacturer.  The manufacturer must have reccnrcendsd a rnaximun shelf
life for each cylinder so that the concentration does not change
greater than +5 percent from the certified value.  The date of gas
cylinder preparation, certified benzene concentration and recommended
jnaxiniurn shelf life must have been affixed to the cylinder before ship-
ment from the gas manufacturer to the buyer.  These gas mixture
standards may be directly used to prepare a chromatograph calibration
curve as described in Section 7.3.

-------
     5.2.3.1  Cylinder Standards Certification.   The  concentration
of benzene in nitrogen in each cylinder rcust have been  certified by
the manufacturer by a direct analysis of each cylinder  using  an
analytical procedure that the manufacturer had calibrated on  the day
of cylinder analysis.  The calibration of the analytical  procedure
shall, as a minimum, have utilized a three-point  calibration  curve.
It is recommended that the manufacturer rcaintain  two  calibration standards
and use these standards in the following way:  (1)  a  high concentration
standard (between 50 and 100 ppm) for preparation of  a  calibration curve
by an appropriate dilution technique; (2) a low concentration standard
(between 5 and 10 ppm) for verification of the dilution technique used.
     5.2.3.2  Establishment and Verification cf Calibration Standards.
The concentration of each calibration standard must have been established
by the manufacturer using reliable procedures.  Additionally, each
calibration standard must have been verified by the manufacturer by one
of the following procedures, and the agreement between  the initially
determined concentration value and the verification concentration value
must be within +5 percent:  (1) verification value  determined by com-
parison v:ith a 923 r.-ixture prepared in accordance with  the procedure
described in section 7.1 and using 99 Hoi percent benzene, or (2) veri-
fication value obtained by having the calibration standard analyzed by
the national Bureau of Standards.  All calibration  standards  must be
renewed on a time interval consistent with the shelf  life of  the cylinder
standards sold.

-------
6.  Procedure
    6.1  Sampling.  Assemble the sample train as in Figure 1.   Perform
e bag leak check according to section 7.4.  Determine that all  connections
between the bag and the probe are tight.  Place the end of the  proba at
the centroid of the stack and start the pump with the needle valve
adjusted to yield a flow of 0.5 Ipm.  After a period of time sufficient
to purge the line several times has elapsed, connect  the vacuum line to
the bag and evacuate the bag until the rotameter indicates no flow.
Then reposition the sample and vacuum lines and begin the actual  sampling,
keeping the rate constant.  Direct the gas exiting the rotameter away
from sampling personnel.  At the end of the sair.ple period, shut off the
pump, disconnect the sample line from the bag, and disconnect the
vacuum line from the bag container.  Protect the bsg container  from
sunlight.
     6.2  Scrn.ple Storage.  Sample bags must be kept out of direct sunlight.
Analysis must be performed within 2[, hours of sample collection.
     6.3  Ssrnple Recovery.  With ?. new piece of Teflon tubing identified
for that bag, connect a bag inlet valve to the gas chronetograph sa~.ple
valve.  Switch the valve to withdraw gas fron the bag through the sample
loop.  Plumb the equipment so the sample gas passes from the sample valve
to the Isak-fres pump, and then to a charcoal tube, followed by a
0-100 ml/rr.in rotameter with flow control valve.
     6.4  Analysis.  Set the column temperature to 80°C for column A or
75°C for column B, the detector temperature to ?.25°C, and the sample loop
temperature to 70°C.  I/hen optimum hydrogen and oxygen flow rates have

-------
been determined, verify and maintain these flow rates  during all
chromatograph operations.  Using zero helium or nitrogen as  the
carrier gas, establish a flov; rate in the range consistent with the
manufacturer's requirements for satisfactory detector  operation.   A
flow rate of approximately 20 ml/niin should produce  adequate separations.
Observe the base line periodically and determine that  the noise level
has stabilized and that base line drift has ceased.  Purge the sample
loop for thirty seconds at the rate of 100 nl/min, then activate the
sample valve.  Record the injection time (the position of the pen on
the chart at the time of sample injection), the sample number, the
sample loop temperature, the column temperature, carrier gas flow rate,
chart speed and the attenuator setting.  Record the  laboratory pressure.
From the chart,Tots the peak having the retention time corresponding  to
benzene, as determined in section 7.2.  Measure the  benzene  peak area, A  ,
                                                                       in
by use of a disc integrator or a planirretrr.  Record A  and  the
retention time.  Repeat the injection at least two times or  until two
consecutive values for the total area of the benzene peak do not vary
more than 5 percent.  The average value for these two  total  areas will
be used to compute the bag concentration.
     6.5  Measure the ambient temperature and barometric pressure near
the bag.  From a water saturation vapor pressure table, determine and
record the water vapor content of the bag.  (Assume  the relative humidity
to be 100 percent unless a lesser value is known.)
7.  Calibration and Standards
     7.1  Preparation of Benzene Standard Gas Mixtures.  (Optional--

-------
in Figure 2.  Evacuate a 50-liter Tedlar or alufr.inized Mylar bag that
has passed a leak check (describee! in Section 7.4)  and neter in about
50 liters of nitrogen.  Measure the barometric pressure,  the relative
pressure at the dry gas meter, and the temperature  at the dry gas r.eter.
While the bag is filling use the 10 yl syringe to inject  10 ul  of 99 + '
percent benzene through the septum on to? of the impingar.   This gives
a concentration of approximately 50 ppni of benzene.   In a like manner,
use the other syringe to prepare dilutions having approximately 10 and
5 ppm benzene concentrations.  To calculate the specific  concentrations,
refer to section 8.1.  These gas mixture standards  may be used for
four days from the date of preparation, after which tine  preparation of
new gas mixtures is required.  (Caution:  Contamination ray be a
problem when a bag is reused if the new gas mixture standard is a lower
concentration than the previous ess mixture standard.)
     7.2  Deter/r.ination of Benzene Retention Tine.   This  section can be
perforniad siinultansously with section 7.3.  Establish chromrrtograph
conditions identical with those in section 6.3, above. Determine proper
attenuator position.  Flush the sampling loop with  zero helium or
nitrogen and activate the sample valve.  Record tha injection tirre, the
sample loop to.-sperature, ths column temperature, the carrier gas flow
rate, the chart speed and the attenuator sotting.  Record peaks and
detector responses that occur in the absence of benzene.   Maintain con-
ditions, with the equipment plumb ing arranged idcntially  to section 6.3,
and flush the sample loop for 30 seconds at ths rate of 100 nl/nin with
one of the banzene calibration mixtures end activate the  sample valve.

-------
F.ocord the injection time.  Select the peak that corresponds  to
banzene.  Measure the distance on the chart from the injection  time to
the time at which the peak maximum occurs.  This quantity,  divided by
the chart speed., is defined as the benzene paak retention time.  Since
It is quite likely that there will be other organics present  in th.-;
sample, it is very important that positive identification of  the benzene
peak be made.
     7.3  Preparation of Chromatograph Calibration Curve.   Make a gas
chromatographic measurement of each standard gas mixture (described in
section 5.2.3 or 7.1) using conditions identical with those listed in
sections 6.3 and 6.4.  Flush the sampling loop for 30 seconds at the
rate of ICO ml/min v/ith one of the standard gas mixtures and  activate the
sample valve.  Record C , the concentration of bsnzene injected, the
attenuator setting, chart speed, peak area, sample loop temperature:,
column temperature, carrier gas flow rate, and retention time.   Record
the laboratory pressure.  Calculate A , the peak area multiplied by the
attenuator setting.  Repeat until tv:o consecutive injection areas arc
within 5 percent, then plot the average of those two values vs  C .  V.'iien
the other standard gas mixtures have been similarly analyzed  and plotted,
draw a smooth curve through the points.  Perform calibration  daily, or
before and after each set of bag samples, whichever is more frequent.
     7.4  Bag Leak Checks.  While performance of this section is required
subsequent to bag use, it is also advised that it b= performed  prior to
bag use.  After each use, make sure a bag did not develop leaks as
follows:  to leak check, ccnnoct a water manometer and pressurize the

-------
bag to 5-10 cm H20  (2-4 in. H20).  Allow to stand for 10 minutes.  Any
displacement in the water manometer indicates a leak.  Also, check the
rigid container for leaks in this manner.  (Mote:  an alternative leak
check method is to pressurize the bag to 5-10 en H-O or 2-4 in. FLO and
allow to stand overnight.  A deflated bag indicates a leak.)  For each
sample bag in its rigid container, place a rotain^ter in line between
the bag and the pump inlet.  Evacuate the bag.  Failure of the rotameter
to register zero flow when the bag appears to be empty indicates a leak.
8.  Calculations
     8.1  Optional Benzene Standards Concentrations.  Calculate each

5.4.2  ORGANIC ACIDS
         5.4.2.1  METHOD SUMMARY
    The only collection 'method  used by the
APCD for organic acids is  continuous  sampling
with an impinger absorption train. The proce-
dure entails the collection of the sample by
bubbling the  gases through dilute  caustic  fol-
lowed by acidification and ether extraction of
the free organic acids. A liquid-liquid ex-
tractor is  used  to provide multiple contact of
ether and aqueous media. The organic  acids in
ether are  subsequently titrated with a standard
base and reported as  acetic  acid.  The lower
limit of the method is about 0.2 ppm in a 60
cubic foot sample.
    Aliquot portions of the impinger  solution
can also be analyzed for total  oxides of sul-
fur (see Sect.5.4.7).

-------
   5.4.2.2   PREPARATION  FOR SAMPLING
    The collection  train is assembled as shown
in Figure 5.1. The first  two impingers each
contain exactly 100 ml of  5% sodium hydroxide
solution, while the third is operated  dry  to
catch any carry-over spray and  to protect  the
gas meter. An ice bath is used to cool the  im-
pingers. Glass, quartz-composition, or  stain-
less steel sampling probes  of any convenient
size may be  used.  All equipment  is tested  for
proper operation and freedom from leaks.

             5.4.2.3   SAMPLING
    Any convenient sampling  rate,  not to exceed
1 cfm, may be used. Proportional sampling,  as
described in Section  5.2.1, may be necessary
when  there are wide  fluctuations in both gas
flow  rate and composition.
    The data recorded during sampling should
include:
    a)  Time  (clock)  of test and data re-
        cordings
    6) Gas meter reading (initial), cubic
       feet
    c) Gas meter vacuum, inches  of  mercury
       below atmospheric
    d) Gas meter temperature, degrees Fah-
       renheit
    e) Temperature  of  gas  at. exit  of third
       impinger,  degrees Fahrenheit .
    Readings  may be taker, at five- or ten-minute
intervals during a  one-hour  test,  and the data
are recorded as indicated  on the upper  tabular
portion of Figure  4.9. Sampling for particulate
matter usually accompanies  this procedure;  if
this is not  the case,  reference  point velocity
head and temperature  readings should be made,
as described  in Section 3.3.2.
    At the completion  of sampling,  the  pump is
shut off and  the train allowed  to  come to at-
mospheric pressure before  disconnecting the
vacmin  line. The  final gas me-ter reading is
recorded. The impingers and associated tubing
are suitably sealed for  transfer to the labor-
atory for processing. Condensate,  if any,  in
the probe and inlet tubing is allowed to flow
into the first impinger.

        5.4.2.4 SAMPLE PROCESSING
    The  total volume of liquid contained in
the impingers is carefully measured.  The dif-
ference from the initial volume is recorded as
the condensate volume.
    The  impingers and associated  tubing are
carefully rinsed with  small  portions of dis-
tilled water,  the liquid and washings  being
kept in a beaker or flask.  If aliquots are to
be taken for analysis,  the combined liquid and
washings are made up  to an  exact volume.  Ali-
quots can be tatan if the organic  acids exceed
50 ppm by volume.

      5.4.2.5   ANALYTICAL  PROCEDURE
    The  reagents  needed for  the analysis are
concentrated sulfuric acid, reagent-grade  ethyl
ether,  and  0.1 \ sodium hydroxide solution.
The 0.1 N sodium hydroxide  solution should be
prepared and stored in a manner to  avoid  con-
tamination by atmospheric  carbon dioxide. The
solution is standardized  by titration using
potassium biphthalate (primary-standard grade)
and phenolphthalein indicator.
    The liquid-liquid extractor (IteraNo. 92232,
Corning  Glass Works, Corning, New York, or
equivalent) and water heating bath are shown
disassembled in Figure  5.5. The procedure for
each sample  is as follows:
    An 80-100  ml  aliquot  of the solution  is
transferred  to a 500-ml  three—neck glass  flask
equipped with  a reflux condenser,  separator)'
funnel,  and  gas inlet tube.  The  latter should
project below the level of the liquid in the
flask. Four  drops of  methyl  red  indicator are
added and the sample  is acidified by  addition

 of  concentrated  sulfuric  acid from the sepa-
 ratory funnel. Daring acidification, the sample
 is agitated by intermittent bubbling of nitrogen
 into the flask.  After  acidification, nitrogen
 is  bubbled through  the  sample  until  sulfur
 dioxide  ceases  to  evolve  from the condenser
 (deter-dned by holding wet litmus  test paper
 strips at the top of the condenser). The sample
 is  now heated  just  to the  boiling  point  to
 ensure complete removal of $0-2. The sample is
 allowed  to cool  and the  condenser is rinsed
 with water into the  flask. The sample is trans-
 ferred to a volumetric flask and diluted to a
 suitable exact volume. Fifty ml  aliquots  are
 transferred to  150-rnl beakers and  adjusted to
 pH 2 (pH paper) with 3®% sodium hydroxide  so-
 lution. A blank containing the same amount of
 original sodium  hydroxide  as the aliquots is
 adjusted to  pH  2 with concentrated sulfuric
 acid and is analyzed with  the aliquot samples.
     Transfer the sample and blank mixtures  to
 separate 500-ml  liquid-liquid extractors.  A
 long-stenrved funnel  is useful for  making  the
 transfers.  The  final aqueous levels should  be
 3 or 4  inches below  the side arms.  Carefully
 insert  the inner collector tubes,  and  attach
 the condensers and 500-ml round bottom flasks.
 Slovly add ether through the  condensers, allow-
 ing it to rise  in  the extractors.  Continue
 adding ether until about 200 ml has overflowed
 into the flasks. Heat the  flasks  to steady
 boiling on water baths or with  Glass-Col heat-
 ing mantles, and allow the extractions to  pro-
 ceed for 8 hours.
    After the flasks have  cooled, tilt the ex-
 tractors to  allow as  much as possible of the
ether to decant  over  into the  flasks without
 removing  any aqueous material. Transfer the
ether extracts to separatory  funnels and remove
any traces  of aqueous  material that may be
 present. Add about 40 ml of water and 3 drops
 of  phenolphthalein indicator  to each of the
 ether  solutions in the separatory  funnels.
 Titrate the mixtures in the funnels with stand-
 ard 0.1 N sodium hydroxide to the phenolphtha-
 lein end point. As the end point is approached,
 stopper the  separatory  funnels  and shake with
 each small  titration  increment until a pink
 color  persists.
           5.4.2.6  CALCULATIONS
     The sequence of  calculations,  using the
 data obtained during sampling,  processing, and
 analysis, is as  follows:
    a) Volume of stack gas sampled
    6) Organic acid concentration
    c) Emission  rate of organic acids
    d) Water vapor content of stack gas
 The APCD forms shown in Figures 4.9  and  4.13
 are convenient  for many of the  calculations  to
 lie  described.

            5.6.2.6.1  Sample Volume
     The  volume  of  stack gas sampled  is calcu-
 lated  in  the same manner as described for ammo-
 nia (Sect.5.4.1.6.1). It may be noted that  a
 slight error occurs in the  sample volume  cal-
 culation  when stack gases containing moderate
 amounts of carbon dioxide are sampled with ab-
 sorption trains containing sodium hydroxide

-------
 solution. The  alkali will react with the car-
 bon dioxide,  forming water, sodium carbonate,
 and possibly some bicarbonate.  The  pM of the
 resulting solution is still high enough,  how-
 ever, for efficient absorption of  oxides  of
 sulfur,  organic acids, or fluorides. As a re-
 sult of  this reaction,  the measured condensate
 volume will be high due  to production of water,
 and the  metered gas volume will be low due  to
 loss of  a small volume of carbon dioxide  from
 the gas  sample.  These two small errors  will
 tend to  cancel each other  for calculation  of
 total sample volume.

         5.4.2.6.4  Moisture Content
    The water vapor content  of the stack gases
is calculated by the procedure  described in
Section 4.4.1.8.3. The calculation is made only
for comparison  with the  results  from the par-
ticulate train  processing.  The difference is
due to errors in condensate volume and water
vapor volume  calculations, caused by chemical
reactions during absorption  and the  lowered
vapor pressure  (relative to pure  water) of the
absorbent solution. Both effects mentioned will
produce small positive errors in calculation
of water vapor content.

5.4.3 ALDEHYDES

         5.4.3.1   METHOD SUMMARY
     In practically  all tests,  samples  for
aldehyde analysis  are collected  in evacuated
flasks, using grab  sampling techniques (Sect.
5.3.2). In rare instances, impinger absorption
trains  have  been  used, but  this  collection
method is more  applicable to  the low aldehyde
 *  The  constant  for determination  of  maleic  acid  is  0.0580.

-------
concentrations experienced in atmospheric
monitoring.
    In either case,  aldehydes  in  the  sample
react with a solution of sodium bisulfite  to
form addition compounds. The excess bisulfite
ion is destroyed with iodine solution.  By ad-
justing the pH of the solution, the addition
compounds are decomposed,  freeing bisulfite
ion equivalent to the aldehydes  present in the
sample. The  liberated bisulfite ion is  then
titrated with standard iodine. Methyl ketones,
if present in the sample, will be included  in
the results. The lower  limit of the method,
using 2-liter gas samples,  is about  1 ppm.
    Since  the  collection methods  are iden-
tical, aliquot portions of the  solutions can
be  analyzed for formaldehyde alone  (Sect.
5.4.4).
    5.4.3.2   PREPARATION  FOR SAMPLING
    Two-liter round bottom flasks,  as shown in
Figure 5.2,  are  used  for grab sampling. Ten ml
of 15c sodium bisulfite solution  (Igper 100 ml
solution) are added  to each flask. The flask
is then evacuated to  the vapor pressure of the
solution,  the screw clamp closed, and the solid
glass plug inserted  into the open  end of the
tubing until ready for sampling.
    For continuous  sampling by  impingers, the
collection train is prepared as described for
ammonia or organic acids, adding exactly 100
ml of \% sodium bisulfite  solution  to each of
the first two ircpingers.
             5.4.3.3  SAMPLING
    The  inlet tube  of  the  2-liter flask is
connected to one leg of  a  glass tee  or three-
way stopcock attached to the  sampling line.
An aspirator bulb,  connected to the other leg
of  the  tee,  is  used for flushing  the sample
probe and tubing with stack  gas just prior  to
sampling, as illustrated  in Figure 5.6. The
FIGURE  5.6.   Crab  sampling  of  a  gas  strean.
screw clamp is opened to admit  gas to  the
evacuated  flask.  When the  flow  of gas  has
ceased,  the screw clamp is  closed and  the
glass plug reinserted into the short rubber
tube to the flask. The flow of gas may con-
tinue for  many minutes when the gases  are
almost 100  per cent steam,  thus  requiring  the
flask to be cooled during this  process. Such
a situation may be encountered, for example,
when testing rendering cookers. The proced-
ure in Section 5.5.3  should  then  be followed
for calculations.  In order to obtain an  av-
erage value,  four  grab  samples are usually
taken during  an hour test.
    When absorption impinger trains are used,
the sampling procedure is the  same as described
for organic acids. The sampling  rate  should
not exceed 0.3 cfm.
        5.4.3.4 SAMPLE PROCESSING
    The  sealed collection  flasks are shaken
for  15 minutes on a  mechanical shaker,  with
frequent rotation  to provide a thorough scrub-
bing action. The temperature and absolute gas
pressure in each flask are recorded after the
gases have  reached ambient  temperature.  The
contents of each sample  flask are then rinsed

-------
 into conical  flasks.  A blank  is  prepared,
 using the  same amount  of 1% sodium bisulfite
 solution used  for  each sampling  flask.
     The impinger train  collection is processed
 in a manner analogous to that described for
 organic  acids  in Section 5.4.2.4. Unless the
 aldehyde concentration is very low  (below 0.1
 ppm),  aliquots may be taken for  analysis.
      5.4.3.5   ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE
     The analytical procedure is  identical for
 samples collected either by grab or  absorption
 train sampling.
     The reagents needed for the analysis are
 0.05 N sodium  thiosulfate  solution,  0.005 N
 iodine solution,  approximately 0.1 N iodine
 solution (made by  disolving 12.7 g of iodine
 in  a solution  of 25 g  of potassium iodide in
 50  ml of water, and diluting  to  one liter
 with water), and a special buffer  solution.
 The sodium  thiosulfate solution is standard-
 ized with  potassium  dichromate  (primary
 -standard grade) according to standard iodo-
 metric procedure.  The 0.005  N  iodine solu-
 tion, prepared  by dilution  from  the 0.1 N so-
 lution,  is standardized by titration with
 the sodium thiosulfate solution u si ng
 starch indicator. The buffer solution is pre-
 pared  by dissolving 80 g of anhydrous sodium
 carbonate  in 500 ml of water, slowly adding 20
 ml  of glacial acetic acid,  followed by dilution
 toil. The pll  of the solution is adjusted to
 9.6 ± 0.1 with  sodium carbonate or acetic acid,
 as  required, using a pM meter.
    Two nil  of 1% starch indicator  solution are
 added to each sample, and 0.1 N  iodine is added
 dropwise  until  a dark blue color is produced.
 Care should be  taken to ensure  that all of the
 sulfur dioxide  resulting from  the decomposi-
 tion of  bisulfite is  removed since  it may
cause the end point to  fade. Ihis can be con-
veniently accomplished  by blowing a small jet
of air into the  flask while  swirling the con-
tents  vigorously for several minutes.  Each
solution is decolorized by dropwise addition
of 0.05  N sodium  thiosulfate. The 0.005 X
iodine solution  is  added, to a faint blue end
point.  The solutions are cooled thoroughly in
an ice bath, and 50 ml of chilled buffer are
added  to each flask. The flasks  are kept in
the ice bath for 10 to 15 minutes  after the
buffer addition. The liberated bisulfite is
titrated with 0,005 N iodine solution  to the
same  faint blue end point present before addi-
tion of  the  buffer.  The  sample must  remain
chilled in order to avoid a  fading end  point.

excess moisture in the stack gases, precipi-
tated upon cooling  in the flask, is usually
negligible in comparison with the absorbent
solution. Thus,  moisture calculations from
measurements of  the  condensate, as done for
impinger trains,  are not made.  An exception
does, however,  occur when sampling steam (see
Sect. 5.5.3).

           5.4.J.7.2   Concentration
    The aldehyde concentrations are calculated
and reported in two  ways:  (1)  on a dry basis;
and (1) on a wet  basis, or under actual stack
water vapor conditions.
    The calculation  of aldehyde  concentration
on a dry basis  uses  the relation,
      (c

             Equation 5.17, standard  liters
    In order to  convert concentrations from
the dry basis to  stack  water vapor  conditions
(sometimes  called the wet basis), the following
relation is used:

                               It may  be noted  that  this is identical to the
                               concentration defined by Equation 5.14.
                                   The water  vapor content  of the stack gas
                               is usually  determined from the data obtained
                               when sampling and processing  the  collection
                               train or trains  for  particulate matter.  In
                               other instances,  it may be determined with a
                               condensate  sampling train, or by dry-wet bulb
                               themoretry, as described in Section 5.5.
                                   The concentrations may be  converted from
                               volume-voluTe to weight-volume units using the

5.4.4   FORMALDEHYDE
         5.4.4.1   METHOD SUMMARY
    The methods of sample collection and pro-
cessing prior to analysis are  identical to
those described for aldehydes.  The samples are
collected  in a dilute solution of sodium bisul-
fite . Any  aldehydes present form the bisulfite
addition compounds. An aliquot  of the resultant
solution  is  then  treated with  chromotropic
acid  in .strong sulfuric acid.  Formaldehyde
forms a unique colored compound,  the exact na-
ture of which is unknown but which appears to
be of a quinoidal type.  The intensity of the
colored compound is then determined  in a color-
imeter and the corresponding concentration of
formaldehyde  read from  a calibration curve.
The lo-A-er limit of the method, using 2-liter
gas samples,  is about 1 pprn.
    Two-liter  round bottom flasks, prepared in
the same manner as described  for aldehydes,
are used for sampling.  Sampling and processing
of the flasks and collected samples also are
the same as described for  aldehydes,  except
that the solutions from each  flask  are  meas-
ured to an exact  volume, which should  be as
small as possible.

    5.4.4.2   PREPARATION OF  REAGENTS
    The special reagents needed for  the  analy-
sis are 0.05  N sodium thiosulfate  solution,
approximately 0.1  N iodine solution. 0.005 N
iodine  solution,  buffer solution, standard
formaldehyde  solution, 76% sulfuric  acid solu-
tion, and chromotropic acid reagent.
    The sodium thiosulfate,  iodine,  and  buffer
solutions  are prepared and standardized as
described for aldehydes; the other solutions
are prepared and standardized as  follows:

Standard formaldehyde solution:  Dilute 3 ml of
formalin (approximately 37/b) to 1 1 in a volu-
metric  flask. To  standardize,  pipet  1  ml  of
the solution into a 250-ml Erlenmeyer flask,
and  1  ml of water  into another  flask as  a
blank. Add 30 ml of 1% sodium bisulfite and 2
ml of 1% starch  to each flask. Add 0.1 N iodine
dropwise to each flask until a.dark blue color
results.  Decolorize each  flask with  0.05 N
sodium thiosulfate and then return to a faint
blue with 0.005  N iodine. Chill  each  flask in
an ice bath and add 50 ml of chilled  buffer.
After addition  of the buffer, allow  to stand
in the  ice  bath for 10 to  15  minutes, th^n
titrate the liberated  bisulfite  in each flask
to the same faint  blue end  point with 0.005 N
iodine. Subtract the volume of  0.005  N iodine
used for the blank determination from the vol-
ume used for the  sample determination. The
strength  of the standard  in micrograns per
milliliter  is 1.5  x 10^ vn,  where  v  is  the
volume, in milliliters, of 0.005 N iodine used
for titration following the addition of buffer,
less blank;  and n  is  the  exact normality  of
the 0.005 N iodine.
    Dilute 1 ml  of this  standard formaldehyde
solution to 1 1. The diluted solution contains
approximately 1.2^2 of formaldehyde  per ml.
    76%  sulfuric  acid:  Slowly add 725 ml  of
concentrated sulfuric acid to 350 ml of water.
It is advisable  to place the container in which
the dilution is  to be  made  in a  water bath to
absorb some of the  heat  generated.
    Chromotropic acid reagent: Weigh  0.875 g
of 4,5-dihydroxy-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic
acid,  disodium salt  (Eastman No.  P230 or equiv-
alent) into a 100-ml beaker and add 4.25 ml of
water. Rapidly  add 45.75  ml of 76%  sulfuric
acid and stir to dissolve. Prepare fresh  for

-------
each  rlay's  analyses because this reagent de-
composes  on standing.  The final mixture con-
tains approximately 71% sulfuric acic! by weight.
    Prepare  a calibration curve for each new
bottle of chromotropic  acid as follows: Trans-
fer 50 ml of 76% sulfuric acid,  by means of a
graduate,  to each of a series  of six  150-ml
beakers. Warm the  solutions in a water bath to
60 ± 2 C.  Add 2  ml of chromotropic acid reagent
to each beaker. Pipet  1  ml of  the 1.2 A»Hes the color devel-
opnr.-nt somewhat. Hapiclly  transfer to the  col-
orimeter cell for reading. Measure  the  light
absorption of the  solutions in  the photoelec-
tric colorimeter (a  Klett-Surnnerson industrial
colorimeter,  No. 54, or equivalent) with a 500-
to 560-mu green  filter  and a 20 mm light  path.
Use tho blank solution  for zeroing the color-
imeter. Prepare a calibration curve  by plot-
ting Llie colorimeter readings against micro-
 grams of  formaldehyde contained in each solu-
 tion.

     5.4.4.3   ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
     Pour  50 ml of 76% sulfuric acid into each
 of two 150-ml beakers. Warm the solutions in a
 water  bath to 60 ± 2 C. Add 2 ml  of chromo-
 tropic acid  reagent  to  each. Transfer  a 5-ml
 aliquot of the  sample by  pipet  to one  beaker
 and  5  ml  of water to the other for a  blank
 determination. Stir  the solutions  frequently
 and  maintain at the specified temperature for
 20 minutes. At  the end  of 20 minutes,  remove
 the  beakers  from the water bath and immerse
 them in  ice  water. Rapidly  transfer to  the
 colorimeter  cells for  reading. Measure  the
 light absorption of the  solutions in the photo-
 electric  colorimeter with a 500- to 560-mu
 green filter and a 20-mm  light path. Use  the
 blank for zeroing  the  colorimeter. Read  the
 weight of formaldehyde  in  micrograms  from the
 previously prepared calibration  curve.
          5.4.4.4   CALCULATIONS
    The sequence of calculations  for formal-
dehyde  samples collected with evacuated  flasks
is as follows:

    a)  Volume of stack  gas sampled,  dry
       basis
    b)  Formaldehyde  concentration, dry
       basis
    c)  Formaldehyde concentration,  stack
       conditions
    d)  Emission rate of  formaldehyde
    The dry  volume of  stack gas  sampled  is
calculated using  Equation 5.17.
   The formaldehyde concentration  is  calcula-
ted on a dry basis by the relationship,
            (CFA)H =  0.790'

    The conversion of  formaldehyde  concentra-
tion to stack moisture conditions is made using
Equation 5.19 and 5.20, previously given for
aldehydes.  The  conversion  factors are identi-
cal, since total  aldehydes  are expressed as
formaldehyde.
    The emission rate of formaldehyde, as for
aldehydes, is  calculated by either Equation
5.21 or 5.22.

1.  Principle:
    1.1  General:  An air sample is drawn isokinetically through  an
impinger train containing water as the scrubbing medium.  Formaldehyde
and methanol are scrubbed from the gas.  An integrated bag sample is
taken anisokinetically to measure dimethyl ether content.
    1.2  Formaldehyde:  The analysis consists of reacting  an  aliquot
of the impinger solution with chromotropic - sulfuric acid reagent to
form a purple chromogen.  This resulting solution is analyzed colorime-
trically using a spectrophotometer at 580 nm; the absorbance  of the
colored solution is proportional to the quantity of formaldehyde  in  the
solution.
    1.3  Methanol:  An aliquot of the scrubber solution is analyzed  using
a gas chromatograph and flame ionization detector.
    1.4  Dimethyl ether:  The contents of the integrated bag  sample  are
analyzed for dimethyl ether using a gas chromatograph and  flame ionization
detector.
2.  Applicability:
    2.1  This method is applicable for the determination of formaldehyde,
methanol and dimethyl ether in-the effluent of formaldehyde manufacturing
facilities.

    3.1  Formaldehyde:  0.25 vg/ml - 2.0 vg/ml; based  on  impinger  solution
of 600 ml and 60 ft  gas collected: 6-240 ppm; upper limit is  easily ex-
tended by diluting aliquot taken.

10.  Procedure:
    10.1  Sampling (Formaldehyde - Methanol)
      10.1.1  The sample train is assembled as shown in  Figure 1.  The
first two impingers are modified Greenburg-Smith impinger  and are each  fil-
led with 200 ml distilled water.  The third impinger (Greenburg-Smith Type)
*  Mention of brand name does not consitute Environmental  Protection Agency
endorsement.

-------
is also filled with 200 ml. distilled water.   The fourth impinger  (modi-
fied Greenburg-Smith) is left dry.  The fifth impinger contains approxi-
mately 200 gm silica gel.
         10.1.2  A minimum sample of 60 ft   is collected isokineticaVly
as per EPA Method 5 at a rate of 0.5 to 1.0  cfm.
    10.2  Sample Recovery (Formaldehyde - Methanol)
         10.2.1  The solution from each impinger is measured and.then
placed Into a single container.
         10.2.2  The probe and impingers are sparingly washed with v/ater
(It is important to dilute the sample as little as possible.) and the
wash from each impinger and the probe is added to the sample collection
jar.
         10.2.3  The weight gain in the silica gel is recorded.
         10.2.4  Keep sample jars tightly capped.
    10.3  Analytical:  Formaldehyde
         10.3.1  Measure and record the volume of each of the sample solu-
tions.
         10.3.2  .Agitate sample then pipette a 4 ml aliquot from  each of
the sampling solutions into glass stoppered  test tubes.  A blank  contain-
ing 4 ml of distilled water must also be run.  [If the formaldehyde content
of the aliquot exceeds the limit of the method a smaller aliquot  diluted
to 4 ml with distilled water is used.]

-------
         10.3.3  Add 0.1 ml of 1 percent chromotropic acid reagent to
the solution and mix.
         10.3.4  Using a burette, add to the solution slov/ly and cau-
tiously 6 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid.   The solution becomes ex-
tremely hot during the addition of the sulfuric acid.   If the acid is
not added slowly, some loss of sample could  occur due to spattering.
         10.3.5  Allow to cool to room temperature (Important)!!  Read
at 580 nm in a suitable spectrophotometer using a 1  cm  cell.
         10.3.6  Determine the formaldehyde  content  of  the sampling solu-
tion from a curve previously prepared from standard  formaldehyde solutions.
    10.4  Analysis:  Methanol
         10.4.1  Analyze each sample on a gas chromatograph by injection of
a liquid sample.

11.  Calibration
    11.1  Standardization of formaldehyde solution
         11.1.1  Pipette 1 ml of formaldehyde standard  solution  "AV
into an iodine flask.  Into another, flask pipette 1 ml  of  distilled water.
This solution serves as the blank.
         11.1.2  Add 10 ml of. 1 percent sodium bisulfite and  1 ml  of 1
percent starch solution.
         11.1.3  Titrate with 0.1 N iodine to a dark  blue  color.
         11.1.4  Destroy the excess iodine with 0.05  N  sodium thiosulfate
(titrate to clear).
         11.1.5  Add 0.01 N iodine until a faint blue end  point  is reached.
         11.1.6  The excess inorganic bisulfite is now  completely  oxidized
to sulfate, and the solution is ready for the assay of  the formaldehyde
bisulfite addition product.
         11,1.7  Chill the flask in an ice bath and add 25"ml of chilled
sodium carbonate buffer.  Titrate the liberated sulfite with  0.01  N iodine,
using a microburette, to a faint blue end po.int. The amount  of  iodine added
in this step must be accurately measured and recorded.
         11.1.8  One ml of 0.0100 N iddine is equivalent to 0.15 mg of
formaldehyde..  Therefore, since 1 ml  of formaldehyde  standard solution was
titrated, the'ml of 0.01 N iodine used in the final titration multiplied

-------
by 0.15 mg gives the formaldehyde concentration  of the standard solution
in mg/ml.  Record formaldehyde concentration  of  standard solution "A".
    11.2  Preparation of standard curve,  formaldehyde
         11.2.1  Pipette 6, 1.0,  -2.0 and  4.0  ml  of standard solution
"B" into glass stoppered test tubes.  Dilute  to  4 ml with distilled water.
         11.2.2  Pipette 1.5 and  2.0 ml of standard solution "A"-into
volumetric flasks and dilute to 1 liter.   Take 4 ml aliquots of these stan-
dard solutions.
         11.2.3  Develop the color as described  in the analytical procedure
(10.3).  Approximate concentrations of standard  solutions will be 0, 1.0,
2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0 iig/4ml aliquot. Exact concentrations will depend
on exact concentration of standard formaldehyde  solution "A" determined by
standardization as per (11.1).
         11.2.4  Plot absorbance  against  micrograms/4 ml aliquot in the
color developed solution.

REAGENTS;

   1.  Sodium formaldehyde bisulfite,  stock  standard  solution:
       add 0.4466g sodium formaldehyde bisulfite  (sodium  bi-
       sulfite,  formaldehyde addition  product)  to  a  1-1 volu-
       metric flask.  Dissolve and dilute  to volume with  dis-
       tilled water.  Mix by inverting 25  tines.   This  solu-
       tion  is equivalent to lOOjag formaldehyde per ml.

   2.  0.5%  chromotropic acid solution:   Dissolve  0.5g  chroir.o-
       tropic acid  (4 ,5-dihydroxy-2,7-naphthalene  disuifonic
       acid) in  distilled water  and  dilute  to  100ml  in  a  gradu-
       ated  cylinder.   Mix well  and  filter  immediately  before
       using.  This reagent is stable  for  one  week  if kept  re-
       frigerated.

   3.  Sulfuric  acid,  concentrated,  reagent  grade.

   4.  5% potassium permanganate solution:   Dissolve  5g potassi-
       um permanganate in distilled  water  and  dilute  to 100ml.
       Mix by inverting the cylinder 10  times.  The  reagent  is
       stable if stored in the dark.

   5.  57. phosphoric acid:  Dilute 10ml  of  507,  phosphoric acid
       to 100ml  and mix by inverting the  cylinder  10  times.  The .
       reagent is stable.

   6.  17. sodium bisulfite:  Dissolve  1. Og  sodium  bisulfite  in
       distilled water and dilute to 100ml  in  a graduatedcylinder.
       Mix by inverting 10 times.  Prepare  weekly  to  avoid  con-
       tamination by absorption  of formaldehyde from  air.

-------
   7.  Bromine water, saturated:  Add approximately  1.5ml
       bromine to 100ml of distilled water and mix thoroughly.
       There should be a small amount of undissolved  bromine
       remaining under the solution.  Use and store  the  solu-
       tion only  in   the hood.  Store only in a glass-stoppered
       bottle, and prepare fresh weekly.  Caution;   Bromine  is
       very hazardous.  Observe all precautionsnormally assoc-
       iated with its handling.  Dispose of the reagent  only by
       decanting the saturated* solution into the sink under  the
       hood.  Add 100ml of water, mix, and decant again. Re-
       peating until no undissolved bromine remains.  Fill the
       .bottle completely with water to expel bromine  vapor be-
       fore removing from the hood.  The preparation  of  the  rea-
       gent may be carried out in the reagent bottle  itself, in
       order to minimize transfers of bromine.

INTRODUCTION:
       Stack gas and ambient air samples are collected  in  im-
       pingers containing 100ml of 1% NaHSO^-  Following col-
       ection, distilled water rinses are added during  transfer
       to sample bottles.  Industrial Hygiene samples are  col-
       lected in 10 or 15 ml of 1% NaHSO^ solution, and may  or
       may not have rinses added.
                   The reaction is:
               NaHS0
HCHO
                    o             ,
                    L-->HOCH2S05 Na  (water soluble)
       The bisulfite addition product is stable in neutral  solu
       tion, but decomposes to formaldehyde in acid  solution:
                        H2S04
                 ONl - ) HCHO+S02+H20
       The formaldehyde forms a violet complex with chromotropic
       acid in hot cone. t^SO^.  The absorbance is read at  580nm
       on a spect rophotometer , using a distilled water reference.

-------
       High levels of Phenol are indicated by the appearance  of
       a rose color upon the addition of concentrated l^SO^.

       To prevent reaction of the phenol with formaldehyde, the
       phenol is brominated, blocking the ortho- and para- positions;

                             BlV
                   phenol
       As a result of the bromination, no ortho- or para- positions
       are available for reaction with formaldehyde.~

       Nitrate ion interferes   by reacting with the chromotropic
       acid to produce a strong yellow color.  For this reason all
       glassware (except pipettes) should be thoroughly rinsed by
       the analyst immediately before use to remove any traces of
       HNOo remaining from the cleaning procedure.

       Bromide ion, if present in high levels, may interfere upon
       addition of cone. HoSO/•
       The bromine thus generated reacts with the chromotropic acid
       to form a colored product which has been shown to interfere.
       High levels of bromide ion are avoided by the addition of
       permanganate which destroys the bisulfite before bromination
       of the phenol.
STANDARDIZATION OF METHOD:
(To be done

each day samples are
       Prepare standard solutions corresponding to 1.0, 3.0, 5.0,
       and 7.0 micrograms formaldehyde/ml.  Pipette 2.Oral of each
       into separate 25-ml graduated cylinders.  Add 2.0ml of dis-
       tilled H20 to a fifth 25-ml cylinder as a O.O^g standard.
       Treat each sample as follows;
       a)  Add 5.0ml of cone.  H2S04 and mix by swirling.Immediately
          add 0.4ml (&• 8 drops) of the 0.57, chromotropic acid solu-
          tion, and -mix again immediately.
       b) Boil in the water bath for 15 minutes to allow full coloi
          (purple) development.

   c)  Add  distilled water  to  the  10-ml  nark.   Mix  by inverting
       several  times  (may generate  slight  pressure),  and allow
       to stand until  cool  again.   Transfer  to  a  1-cm cell and
       read  the absorbance  vs  distilled  water  at  580nm.

   Plot  the  absorbance  vs total  micrograras KCHO for each stand-
   ard.  If  the recommended  standards  were used,  the  standards
   correspond to  0.0,  2.0,  6.0,  10.0,  and  14.0  total  micrograms
   formaldehyde,  and the absorbance of the 14.0^g standard should
   be in the neighborhood of 0.7.   A least-squares-fitted line
   should have  a  slope  in the  neighborhood of  0.05  absorbance
   units/microgranj  formaldehyde.

ANALYSIS OF  SAMPLES:
   A.  Routine Analysis  (including  test  for phenol  interference):

       1.  Stack and ambient  air  samples;  Mix  all  fractions
           of the  sample  (unless  fractions are  to be  analyzed
           individually)  and  record the  total sample  volume
           (a 500-ml graduated  cylinder  is useful for this).

       2.  Industrial Hygiene samples;   Record  the  total  vol-
           ume of  the sample  (dr y 10-ml  cylinders are often
           useful  for volume-taking).

       3.  Pipette 2.0ml  of the sample into a 25-ml graduated
           cylinder.  Add 5.0ml concentrated H2S04  with  swirl-
           ing, and observe the color for a few seconds.   If
           any pink or red color  appears, discard the cylinder
           contents, and  proceed  as in "Analysis of Samples in
           the Presence of Phenol."

       4.  If no pink or  red  color  is observed  after  a few
           seconds, add 0.4ml (zzS  drops) of the 0.57» chromo-
           tropic  acid solution,  and mix immediately  by  swirling.

       5.  Boil in the water  bath for 15 minutes.   Remove, allow
           to cool; then  add  water  up to the 10-ml  mark.   Mix by
           inverting a few times, and allow to  stand  until cooled
           again.  Read the absorbance at 580nm in  a  1-cm cell  vs
           distilled water.

ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES IN THE PRESENCE "OF PHENOLS;

   If a pink or red color was observed above, or the  sample is
known to contain phenol,  the  sample must be pretreated as follows;

       1.  Pipette an aliquot (e.g. 10ml for a  stack  or  ambient
           air sample, or 2-3ml for an I.H. sample  into  an ap-
           propriately-sized  (25- or 50-ral) graduated cylinder.
           Add 1 drop of  5% t^PO/^   for each ml  of sample  and mix
           by swirling.    Add  5% KMnO^ drop-by-drop  with  mixing
           until a persistent pink  or violet color  is obtained.
           Add bromine water  (hood!) until observable bromine
           fumes persist  over the solution after shaking  in the
           stoppered cylinder.  Allow to stand  5 minutes, then
           bubble  a rapid stream  of air  through the sample until

-------
       the bromine has been driven  off  (about  5 minutes).  Pasteur
       pipettes work nicely for  this.   Add  17,  NaHS03  with  mixing
       until the solution  is clear.  Dilute  to a  known volume in
       the cylinder, and mix by  inverting  10 times.   Pipette 2.0
       ml into a 25-ml cylinder  and  proceed  as in "Routine Analy-
       sis."

CALCULATIONS:

   From the standard curve, calculate the  total micrograms of
   formaldehyde present in the original  sample.   Report total
   micrograms formaldehyde/100ml  for ambient air  and  stack gas
   blanks.  Report total micrograms  formaldehyde/lOinl  for  In-
   dustrial Hygiene blanks.  Remember to take  into account any
   dilutions which were made in  the  course  of  analysis or  pre-
   treatment of the samples.

NOTE S:
   a)  CAUTION:  BROMINE!!

   b)  A slight yellow color may  appear  in  pretreated  samples upon
       addition of cone. H2SO^, due  to generation  of  bromine from
       residual Br.~  This is compensated for  in  the  method by use

-------
       of an excess of chromotropic acid, which reacts with
       free Br2. This is the reason for the use of 0,4ml
       of reagent rather than the 0.2ml called for in the
       source method for this procedure (see reference).

   c)  A yellow color appearing upon addition of chromotropic
       acid to unpretreated samples is probably caused by
       nitrate interference.  Should this occur, discard the
       processed sample and start again after carefully rinsing
       a clean cylinder with distilled water,

   d)  Dilutions may be made with distilled water upon original
       samples or pretreated stack gas and ambient air samples
       only, in order to insure that the sample absorbance falls
       within the range of the standard curve.   The developed
       colors may not be diluted to any volume except the 10-ml
       mark on the 25-ml cylinder, as per the procedure.

                 CONTINUOUS MONITOR  DATA SUMMARY

     The continuous monitor data were collected using a Century Model
OVA 108 portable flame ionization detector.  The instrument was calibrated
with benzene in air.   Subsequent research indicates that the instrument
calibration is sensitive to oxygen content of the carrier gas stream.
(The instrument uses  the sample being analyzed as the source of oxygen
for combustion.)  The exhaust gas stream, however, had a reduced percentage
of oxygen and, therefore,  the calibration was invalid for quantitative
analysis of the exhaust gas stream.  The data are summarized and presented
to show the cyclic nature  of the emissions, assuming that the oxygen
content of the exhaust stream remains relatively constant.   Because of
excessive noise and zero drift of the recorder during field operation,
the data collected have been summarized on the following three figures;
recorder strip charts are  not included.
 (All  continuous  monitoring  data  collected and reported  by
  EPA).
