Accurate and Precise Coulometric Determination of Sulfur Dioxide in Compressed Gas Mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coulometry has been established as an important and reliable method for the determination of acidic compounds. The analytical method and simple apparatus described here arc applied to the precise and accurate determination of sulfur dioxide in nitrogen, specifically in compressed gas cylinders at nominal concentrations of 50 and 100 µmol/mol (ppm). This method is constant current coulometry where the magnitude of the current is set by the balance between the electrochemical generation of OH-, the flow of SO2, and the chemical reaction of the solution. The method is direct, rapid, and can be refined further to provide analysis at the nanomol/mol level.

Development of a Coulometric Method for Assessing the Concentration of Ambient Levels of CO2/Air in Compressed Gas Mixtures
The coulometric method presented here is a reliable method for the direct analysis of CO2/air cylinder gas mixtures. It is based on Faraday's laws of electrolysis and therefore no external standardization is required. A series of CO2/air cylinder gas mixtures ranging in concentration from 300 to 375 µmol/mol (ppm) were analyzed and the results compared to those results obtained by non-dispersiv...
متن کاملDetermination of trace sulfur in organic compounds by activated Raney nickel desulfurization method with non-dispersive gas detection system
A sensitive and precise method for the determination of trace amounts of total sulfur in organic mixtures is described. With this method bonded sulfur is reacted with activated Raney nickel and is reduced to nickel sulfide at 70 °C. Then, the residue is separated on a filter paper and pyrolysed by induction furnace technique for generation of SO2 which is then detected by a non-dispersive gas d...
متن کاملSulfur dioxide emissions in Iran and environmental impacts of sulfur recovery plant in Tabriz Oil Refinery
Background: Combustion of fossil fuels contributes to sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions. To deal with this issue, the government of Iran has appointed the oil refineries to upgrade their installations and produce high quality fuels. Thus, this study investigated the status of SO2 emissions in Iran and the capability of advanced technologies to control SO2 emissions. Methods: The status of SO2 em...
متن کاملSolubility of Hydrogen Sulfid and Sulfur Dioxide in Triethylen Glycol, Tetra Ethylene Clycol and Diethanol (TECHNICAL NOTE). AMINE SOLUTION
Natural gas sweetening is an important process which is used for treatment of sour gases. The measurement of solubility is also considered in most sweetening processes such as that of Townsend process. Therefore, experimental measurements would be helpful to determine the equilibrium data under actual equilibrium conditions for the gas treatment plants. In this research solubility of hydrogen s...
متن کاملModeling of sulfur dioxide emissions in Ahvaz City, southwest of Iran during 2013
Sulfur dioxide has two important sources in the atmosphere and this is why most of scientists believe in a geographic split in the globe. Power plants, major emitter of SO2, are located in north hemisphere such as in Russia, China, Canada and the USA. In south hemisphere, phytoplankton produces a massive amount of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS). Then these types of reduced...
