The boat is then inserted into a high temperaturecombustion tube where the sulfur is oxidized to sulfur diox

10、ide(SO2) in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Water produced duringthe sample combustion is removed and the sample combustiongases are next exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. The SO2absorbs the energy from the UV light and is converted toexcited sulfur dioxide (SO2*). As it returns to a stable state,light

Significance and Use5.1 Some process catalysts used in petroleum and chemicalrefining can be poisoned when trace amounts of sulfur-bearingmaterials are contained in the fe

33、mple boats to be used for the determi-nation.12. Calibration and Standardization12.1 Using the sulfur standard stock solution (see 8.7),make a series of calibrations standards covering the range ofexpected sulfur concentration. If the expected levels include 0to 1.0 mg/kg and 1 to 100 mg/kg, then tw

34、o curves should bemade to cover the entire range, one from 0 to 1.0 mg/kg (lowcurve) and one from 1.0 to 100 mg/kg (high curve).NOTE 6When looking for levels of sulfur below 1 mg/kg make acalibration curve using an autosampler or constant rate injector andstandards, made from the sulfur stock soluti

35、on, to cover the expectedrange of samples. Follow manufacturers recommendations for construct-ing the curve.NOTE 7When looking for concentrations from 1 mgS/kg to 100mgS/kg, follow manufacturers recommendations for constructing thecurve.12.2 The sample size can be determined eithervolumetrically, by

36、 syringe or by mass.12.3 Volumetric measurement can be utilized by filling thesyringe with standard, carefully eliminating all bubbles, andpushing the plunger to a calibrated mark on the syringe, andrecording the volume of liquid in the syringe. After injectingthe standard, read the volume remaining

37、 in the syringe. Thedifference between the two volume readings is the volume ofstandard injected. This test method requires the known ormeasured density, to the third decimal place.12.4 Alternatively, the syringe may be weighed before andafter the injection to determine the weight of the sampleinjec

38、ted. This technique provides greater precision than thevolume delivery method, provided a balance with a precisionof 60.0001 g is used.12.5 Follow the instrument manufacturers recommendationfor introducing samples into the instrument.12.6 If there are any problems with the calibration standardsfollo

39、w the instrument manufacturers recommendations tocorrect.12.7 Construct a linear regression curve (g S versus Area)using as many points as recommended by the instrumentmanufacturer.12.8 The linear regression curve should have a minimum of0.99 correlation coefficient. If it does not, examine each poi

40、nton the curve to determine which point or points are out. Correctthe problem and run new Standards.13. Procedure13.1 Obtain a test specimen using the procedure describedin Section 10. The sulfur concentration in the test specimenmust be less than the concentration of the highest standard andgreater

41、 than the concentration of the lowest standard used inthe calibration.13.2 Follow the instrument manufacturers recommenda-tions for sample size.13.3 Follow the instrument manufacturers recommenda-tions for introducing samples into the instrument.13.4 Determine the sulfur concentration, by the averag

42、e ofthree determinations, calculated by the instrument software.Make sure replicates are repeatable.14. Calculation14.1 All calculations are performed by the software, andresults are displayed and printed out in ppm (mg/kg) asappropriate. The density is input during sample data entry andis used by t

43、he instrument to convert from wt./vol. to wt./wt.14.2 Use Test Method D1555 for measurements utilizingvolume and known density in milligrams per kilograms asfollows:Sulfur, mg/kg 5M 2 B!V 3 D(2)14.3 Measurement utilizing weight of sample:sulfur, mg/kg 5M 2 B!w(3)where:M = measured sulfur value, gB =
