Abstract

Procedures are developed for determining volatile sulfur-containing impurities, hydrogen sulfide, simple mercaptans, sulfides, and disulfides in air and aqueous solutions. The procedures are based on the principle’s headspace gas chromatography and equilibrium preconcentration. The procedures differ from the officially approved ones in that the operations of sampling and sample preparation to gas-chromatographic analysis considerably reduce the loss of hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans unstable in humid air. The procedures provide the determination of sulfur-containing substances at the level of their maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) in industrial emissions and natural waters and the analytical range of four orders of magnitude; they can be implemented on gas chromatographs with flame ionization and flame photometric detectors, a quartz capillary column, and a thermostated gas-sampling valve.
