Monitoring of Sulfur Components by Simultaneous Analysis Using GC-MS and GC-SCD

User Benefits

- Use of a detector splitting system makes it possible to transport components to multiple detectors and obtain multiple chromatograms in a single analysis. - This system enables simultaneous analysis using a GC-MS (comprehensive analysis) and GC-SCD (analysis limited to sulfur compounds).

Introduction

Fossil fuels contain varying concentrations of sulfur compounds, and lax control of the concentration in final products can cause environmental pollution and reduced catalyst performance in automotive exhaust gas purification systems. Sulfur compounds can also cause catalyst poisoning, resulting in deterioration of various catalysts. Based on this background, monitoring and identification of sulfur compounds in samples is important. In this article, samples were transported simultaneously to an MS and an SCD (sulfur chemiluminescence detector) in the same analysis by using a combination of a LabSolutions^TM GCMS and a detector splitting system, enabling quick confirmation and identification of the contents of sulfur components.
