ASTM
D7550-09 Standard Test Method for Determination of Ammonium, Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals in Hydrogen and Other Cell Feed Gases by Ion Chromatography |
| Scope |
This test method describes a procedure for the
determination of cations in hydrogen and other fuel cell feed gases. It
has been successfully applied to other types of gaseous samples
including air, engine exhaust, and landfill samples. An ion
chromatograph/conductivity detector (IC/CD) system is used to determine
cations. Sensitivity from low part per billion (ppb, μg/l, μg/kg) up to
part per million (ppm, mg/l, mg/kg) concentration are achievable
dependant on the amount of hydrogen or other fuel cell gas sampled. This
test method can be applied to other gaseous samples requiring analysis
of trace constituents provided an assessment of potential interferences
has been accomplished.

This test method employs an FTIR gas analysis system for the
determination of trace impurities in gaseous hydrogen fuels relative
to the hydrogen fuel quality limits described in SAE TIR J2719
(April 2008) or in hydrogen fuel quality standards from other
governing bodies. This FTIR method is used to quantify gas phase
concentrations of multiple target contaminants in hydrogen fuel
either directly at the fueling station or on an extracted sample
that is sent to be analyzed elsewhere. Multiple contaminants can be
measured simultaneously as long as they are in the gaseous phase and
absorb in the infrared wavelength region. The detection limits as
well as specific target contaminants for this standard were selected
based upon those set forth in SAE TIR J2719. |
