High-pressure qNMR spectroscopy in condensed- and gas-phase towards determination of impurities and compositions of gas mixtures
- Recent technical developments of NMR instruments such as in acquisition electronics and probe design allow detection limits of components in liquid mixtures in the lower ppm range (approx.. 5–10 ppm amount of substance). The major advantage of quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) is that it is a direct ratio method of analysis without the need of calibration. This means that the signal for a specific NMR-active nucleus (e.g., a proton) in an analyte can be compared and quantified by reference to a different nucleus of a separate compound, comparable to a counting of spins in the active volume of the spectrometer.
A special application of qNMR in technical mixtures is the observation in the gas phase, which is rarely applied compared to liquid and solid NMR studies. Because of the low density it results in a reduced sensitivity, which can be improved by applying pressure. Therefore a high-pressure NMR setup was developed based on a commercially available NMR tube made of zirconia.Recent technical developments of NMR instruments such as in acquisition electronics and probe design allow detection limits of components in liquid mixtures in the lower ppm range (approx.. 5–10 ppm amount of substance).

Therefore a high-pressure NMR setup was developed based on a commercially available NMR tube made of zirconia. This is currently tested up to 20 MPa, but can be extended up to 100 MPa with regard to pressure rating of its components. This work shows results of gas-phase application on natural-gas like reference gas mixtures produced at BAM, as well as investigations on liquefied petroleum gas mixtures (LPG) with high accuracy provided in constant-pressure piston cylinders.…
