Abstract:
In this study, different application methods are presented for the fast and reliable determination of widely varying sulfur contents by means of UV fluorescence with a minimum effort for calibration and sample preparation. Gaseous hydrocarbons are valuable source materials for synthesis processes, fuels, energy carriers or auxiliary materials in pharmaceutics and cosmetics. Their quality and composition, especially their sulfur content, play an important role. For the use as combustible or fuel (LPG, CNG), emission limits for sulfur must not be exceeded and the sulfurous odorants added for safety reasons must be at the appropriate level. A reliable sulfur trace detection method was built with Analytik Jena EA 5100. The EA 5100 Micro-elemental Analyzer fulfilled the analysis requirement in such matrices, such as precise and safe metering technology, quantitative combustion and highly sensitive detectors.
