Determination of Dimethyl Ether in Liquefied Petroleum Gas by Gas Chromatography with Press-flash Analyzer
Objective:A method for determination of dimethyl ether in liquefied petroleum gas(LPG)by gas chromatography with pressure-flash analyzer was established.Methods:The sampled cylinders were pressurized and vaporized by flash evaporator,and quantified by external standard method.Results:The linear range of DME was 0.771%~99.898%,the correlation coefficient was 0.999 50,the detection limit of the method was 0.05%,the relative standard deviation of the method was 0.36%~2.91%,and the recoveries were 94.1%~104.3%.Conclusion:The method is suitable for the determination of DME in liquefied petroleum gas in the range of 0.771%~99.898%.The method is simple,linear,precise and accurate.
