7、Automatic Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum ProductsE840 Practice for Using Flame Photometric Detectors in GasChromatography3.Summary of Test Method3.1 The sample is analyzed by gas chromatography with aflame photometric detector.A fixed amount of sample isinjected into the gas chromatograph where
8、it is vaporized.Theair carrier stream carries the vaporized sample into a hightemperature zone(900 C)where the compounds present inthe sample are oxidized.Sulfur compounds are converted tosulfur dioxide(SO2).The carrier stream carries the oxidationcomponents onto a chromatographic column where they
9、areseparated and the SO2is quantified by the flame photometricdetector.Calibration of the detector is achieved by the use of anappropriate external standard.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method can be used to determine total sulfurlevels in process feeds and finished products that fall within
10、thescope of this test method.4.2 Low levels of sulfur in process feed stocks can poisonexpensive catalysts used in petroleum refining processes.Thistest method can be used to monitor sulfur levels in thesefeedstocks.5.Apparatus5.1 Gas Chromatograph,equipped with automatically con-trolled valves,capa
11、ble of automatic calibration with an exter-nal standard and having a flame photometric detector with anoverall sensitivity to detect at least 0.5 mg/kg of SO2.It mustbe able to automatically control all valve switching times.Although originally developed with online analytical measure-ment equipment
