Abstract:
One common technology for sulfur analysis in petrochemical products is wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF). However, with ever increasing resolution and sensitivity, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) is a practical alternative due to advantages in speed, simplicity, and lower costs. In this talk, we explore techniques for sensitive and selective analysis of sulfur in petroleum products by ASTM D4294, as well as other petrochemical applications where EDXRF provides advantages over WDXRF. The talk emphasizes the unique multi-functionality that is inherent to EDXRF, and how this unique multi-functionality can provide benefits compared to alternative technologies.
