Description

UOP 1014 – Determination of Trace Propadiene and Methyl Acetylene Impurities in Polymer Grade Propylene by Gas Chromatography

This method is for determining trace methyl acetylene and propadiene (MAPD) in high purity polymer grade propylene liquid or gas using a preconfigured, commercially available gas chromatograph. Other impurities of C3-C5 if present can also be determined. The range of quantitation for each component is 0.2 to 2000 mass- (or mol-) ppm. This method can be used to determine trace impurities in ethylene with appropriate gas injection valve and customized run program. For a full characterization of the C5 minus impurities to a lower limit of quantitation of 2 ppm refer to UOP 899.
