Abstract:
The analysis of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbonyl sulfide (COS) is critical in various industrial and environmental applications, particularly in natural gas processing, petrochemicals, and environmental monitoring. Accurate and reliable detection of these sulfur-containing compounds is essential due to their corrosive nature and potential environmental impact. This study presents a comparative evaluation of two advanced analytical techniques: Gas Chromatography coupled with Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detection (GC-SCD) and Gas Chromatography coupled with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (GC-ICP-MS), for the detection and quantification of H₂S and COS. Using different techniques to cross-check data is a valuable practice in ensuring reliable results.
