Work Item

ASTM WK97587

New Practice for Analysis of Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide in Hydrogen and other Gaseous Fuels by Methanizer Flame Ionization Detector Gas Chromatography

1. Scope

This practice will describe the gas chromatograph configuration required for analysis of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in hydrogen and other gaseous fuels to concentrations as low as 2 ppm for carbon dioxide and 0.2 ppm for carbon monoxide. These detection limits can be accomplished by conversion of carbon oxide gasses to methane using a methanizer and then subsequent detection by flame ionization detector.

Keywords

nickel catalyst

Rationale

There is currently not an ASTM method describing the use of methanizer-FID for the detection of CO and CO2. Current methods that use TCD are not sensitive enough to meet the hydrogen fuel requirements. This is a simple cost effective way to accomplish this analysis.
