Determination of Sulfur Compounds in Natural Gas and Gaseous Fuels by Gas Chromatography and Pulsed Flame Photometric Detection

摘要

The carbonated beverage and petrochemicals industries are just some areas in which the analysis of volatile sulfur-containing compounds in process streams is a critical quality-control step. Failure to quickly detect and accurately assess or quantify these compounds can lead to contaminated products, damaged equipment, poisoned catalysts and process downtime. This article presents a fast, reliable and robust method for the determination of individual volatile sulfur-containing compounds in gaseous fuels by gas chromatography coupled with pulsed flame photometric detection.
