1.1This test method covers a standard procedure for the determination of hydrocarbon types (saturates, olefins, styrenes, aromatics and polyaromatics) of waste plastic process oil (WPPO) from chemical or thermal processes using gas chromatography and vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy detection (GC-VUV).

1.1.1This test method is applicable for plastic recycling and circular schemes including wide range density material from polyethylene and polypropylene.

1.1.2The test method is applicable to waste plastic process oil having a final boiling point of 545 °C or lower at atmospheric pressure as measured by this test or Test Method D2887. This test method is limited to samples having a boiling range greater than 36 °C, and having a vapor pressure sufficiently low to permit sampling at ambient temperature.

1.1.3WPPOs with initial boiling points less than nC5 (36 °C) and final boiling point less than nC15 (271 °C) may be analyzed by Test Method D8369.

1.1.4Appendix X3 is applicable to waste plastic process oils that are predominantly hydrocarbons in the boiling range of pentane, nC5 (36 °C) to tetrahexacontane, nC64 (629 °C).

1.2Concentrations of group type totals are determined by percent mass or percent volume. The applicable working ranges are as follows:

Total Aromatics %Mass 1 to 50 Monoaromatics %Mass 1 to 50 Diaromatics %Mass 1 to 15 Tri-plus aromatics %Mass 0.5 to 5 PAH %Mass 0.5 to 15 Saturates %Mass 5 to 99 Olefins %Mass 1 to 80 Conjugated diolefins %Mass 0.2 to 5 Styrenes %Mass 0.2 to 5

The final precision concentration ranges will be defined by a future ILS.

1.2.1Saturates totals are the result of the summation of normal paraffins, isoparaffins, and naphthenes.

1.2.2Aromatics are the summation of monoaromatic and polyaromatic group types. Polyaromatic totals are the result of the summation of diaromatic and tri-plus aromatic group types.

1.2.3Olefin totals are the result of the sum of mono-olefins, conjugated diolefins, non-conjugated diolefins, and cyclic olefins.

1.2.4Styrenes totals are the sum of styrene and alkylated styrenes. Styrenes are classified separately, neither as aromatic nor olefin.

1.3Waste plastic process oil containing mixed plastic types such as polyethylene terephthalate PET and polyvinyl chloride or other material may yield compounds including hetero-compounds that are not speciated by this test method.

1.4Individual components are typically not baseline separated by the procedure described in this test method. The coelutions are resolved at the detector using VUV absorbance spectra and deconvolution algorithms.

1.5This test method may apply to other process oils from sources such as tires and bio-mass boiling between pentane (36 °C) and tetratetracontane (545 °C), but has not been extensively tested for such applications.

1.6Units-The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement, other than the boiling point of normal paraffins (°F) in Table 2 and Table X.3.1, are included in this standard.

1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.8This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
