Abstract:
Trace elements contained in gasoline, particularly chlorine and sulfur, can harm the environment, the engine and the catalytic converter. The amounts of organometallic additives in gasoline are limited in many countries. ICP-OES has proven to be a powerful and efficient method for elemental analysis in fuels. We will explore the ability to measure sulfur and chlorine at ultra trace levels (sub-ppm) using a unique ICP-OES optical system capable of meauring down to 130nm coupled with a High Volatile Organic introduction system (Isomist) with little or no dilution.
