Сhromatographic methods for the study of organic extractants of transformer oil

THE PURPOSE. In order to control the technical condition of oil-filled electrical equipment, a number of new analytical methods have recently been created to determine the ultra-low concentrations of impurity compounds in transformer oil. An analysis of the literature data showed that at this stage of the analytical procedure significant errors may occur that worsen the quality of control of the technical condition of oil-filled electrical equipment, and in some cases make its results meaningless. The published literature practically does not discuss the problem of sample preparation of transformer oil, which negatively affects the quality of analytical control, that is, the reliability of the results and, accordingly, the diagnosis of oil-filled electrical equipment. METHODS. The paper discusses a sample preparation system for transformer oil, which is based on various methods for extracting target components from it. The adsorption process is used, the preparation of chemical derivatives, various types of extraction, liquid, gas, solid phase and fluid, as well as using low temperatures, extraction in microwave, magnetic, electromagnetic and centrifugal fields. It is shown that liquid extraction with an organic solvent is widely used from all sample preparation methods, with the help of which furan compounds resulting from the destruction of paper insulation are extracted from transformer oil. The disadvantages of sample preparation using liquid-phase extraction and the possibility of using solid-phase extraction on various adsorbents for this purpose are discussed. RESULTS. The results of an experimental study of the sorption properties of various organic solvents with respect to porous materials differing in the structure of their surface are presented. We used zeolite-bearing rocks of the Tatar-Shatrashansky deposit, synthetic zeolites NaX-13^A. Using the ascending variant of liquid column chromatography, the absolute retention values of standard extractants were determined and their dependence on the length of the sorption layer of the porous material was found. CONCLUSIONS. It was shown that the highest retention times for all studied adsorbents are observed for organochlorine extractants, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dichloroethane, trichlorethylene. For N. Hexane is a relatively small interaction. Histograms are given of the effect of the retention time of standard sorbates (extractants) on their physicochemical nature.
