Abstract
The environmental restrictions that limit sulfur in petroleum products are becoming increasing more stringent and are continuously driving the analytical technology towards better sulfur analysis procedures. The comprehensive analysis of the various individual types of sulfur compounds in petroleum products, especially crude oil, is challenging. The known sulfur components found in natural and refined petroleum sources have very different physical and chemical properties. The concentration of these components is also extremely variable and dependent upon the refining processes and crude oil source. Furthermore, the exact structures of many higher boiling sulfur components remain undetermined. Because of this complexity, variability and uncertainty, most traditional analytical methods generally lack precision and specificity. Many recent mass spectrometric methods have been developed for identifying and measuring various sulfur components.
