Summary of Test Metho

10、d3.1 A hydrocarbon sample is either directly injected or placed in a sample boat. The sample or boat, or both, is inserted intoa high temperature combustion tube where the sulfur is oxidized to sulfur dioxide (SO2) in an oxygen rich atmosphere. Waterproduced during the sample combustion is removed a

11、nd the sample combustion gases are next exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light.The SO2 absorbs the energy from the UV light and is converted to excited sulfur dioxide (SO2*). The fluorescence emitted fromthe excited SO2* as it returns to a stable state, SO2, is detected by a photomultiplier tube and the
