Abstract:It is important to understand each analytical system and its limitations when performing any chromatographic measurements. In the present paper, a methodology for method validation and measurement uncertainty evaluation for the measurement of volume fractions of selected gases (CO2, CO, CH4, H2) in simulated reformate gas streams by using gas chromatography was developed. A detailed procedure for in-house method validation based on a simple experimental design and consistent statistics is presented. The analytical protocol allowed us to quantify gases in volume fractions from 2.00 to 100.0 mL/(100 mL) with satisfactory recoveries. We proved that the method was selective for the measurement of gases in simulated reformate gas stream. In addition, a step-by-step illustration of modelling approach for measurement uncertainty evaluation of each component is also provided. Uncertainty arising from repeatability and trueness is relatively low, while the contribution from reproducibility is of higher level for all the analytes tested. The main reason for this is changes in atmospheric pressure that affect gas chromatographic measurements. Solution of this problem could be more frequent calibration of apparatus, yielding to higher costs and more time-consuming process, or by measuring the atmospheric pressure and using it to correct the response of the gas chromatograph for resulting variations in sample size. The obtained results confirm that it is imperative to fully characterize the analytical system before proceeding with an analysis.
