System for determining total sulfur content

摘要

In order to determine the total sulfur content of a sample ( 1 ), the sample is uniformly combusted with a flame ( 8 ). The combustion product sulfur dioxide is fed to a gas chromatograph ( 15 ) in which it is separated from other combustion products ( 9 ) and is then fed to a detector ( 17 ), which is situated downstream and which is provided for determining sulfur dioxide concentration. The combustion of the sample ( 1 ) is preferably effected in a flame ionization detector ( 19 ), with whose measurement signal ( 21 ) the detector signal ( 20 ) generated by the detector ( 17 ) is freed from signal contents based on non-uniformities of the combustion process.
