Abstract:
A study of sulfur-containing compounds in pre- and post-treated gas oil samples
Determining the presence and amount of sulfur-containing compounds in petrochemical feedstock is a primary concern for refinery operations due to the potential negative consequences these compounds can have on downstream equipment and end product quality. Several analytical techniques exist to selectively measure these compounds, but such techniques generally do not provide further qualitative information that may be desirable in determining chemical formulae or structures of the sulfur-containing compounds for investigative purposes. In this work, qualitative evaluation by GC/MS of pre- and post-hydrotreated gas oil samples from a diesel hydroprocessing unit was performed with an Agilent 7890B GC system coupled to a novel, high resolution accurate mass 7250 GC/Q-TOF equipped with a low energy capable EI source.
