DIN EN ISO 6326-1:2009-10 EN ISO 6326-1:2009 (E) Introduction Sulfur compounds can occur naturally in natural gas and remain as traces after treatment, or they may have been injected deliberately to all

20、ow subsequent olfactory detection for safety reasons. The standardization of several methods for the determination of sulfur compounds in natural gas is necessary in view of the diversity of these compounds hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, tetrahydrothiophene (THT), etc. and the requirements of t

21、he determinations (required uncertainty, measurement at the well head, at clean-up plant or in the transmission pipes, etc.). In order to enable the user to choose the method most appropriate to his needs and to perform the measurements under the best conditions, ISO 6326 has been prepared in severa

22、l parts. This part of ISO 6326 gives a rapid comparison of standardized methods and therefore provides information for the choice of the method. The other parts of ISO 6326 and ISO 19739 describe in detail the various standardized methods. DIN EN ISO 6326-1:2009-10 EN ISO 6326-1:2009 (E) 4WARNING Th

23、e majority of sulfur compounds are extremely toxic and thus present a serious health hazard if handled without precautions. 1 Scope This part of ISO 6326 gives a brief description of standardized methods that can be used for the determination of sulfur compounds in natural gas. The principle of each

24、 method is described generally, the range of concentrations for which the method is suitable is indicated, and the analytical range and precision of each method is given. It should enable the user to select judiciously the proper method for the application being considered. Sulfur analysis is perfor

25、med in order to determine a) total sulfur, b) sulfur contained in specific groups (e.g. thiol sulfur), c) individual sulfur compounds, and d) specific groups of sulfur compounds. The standardized methods available in the field of sulfur analysis are the Wickbold combustion method: for total sulfur d

26、etermination (ISO 4260), the Lingener combustion method: for total sulfur determination (ISO 6326-5), gas chromatography: for determination of individual sulfur compounds (ISO 19739), and potentiometry: for determination of hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide and thiol compounds (ISO 6326-3). Other m

27、ethods for the determination of sulfur compounds are available but are not considered here. Table 1 gives an overview of the standardized methods which can be used for the determination of total sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, tetrahydrothiophene, thiol sulfur, individual thiols, individ

28、ual thiophenes, individual organic sulfides and disulfides.

35、 sulfur compounds. Sulfur compounds have a strong tendency to adsorb on to, or to chemically react with, different materials of construction. Low contents of sulfur compounds in samples and calibration gas mixtures put demands on the sampling procedure in order to ensure that the sulfur compounds in

36、 correct quantity reach the analytical device. DIN EN ISO 6326-1:2009-10 EN ISO 6326-1:2009 (E) 6Carry out representative sampling in such a way that the sample represents the bulk of the gas at the time of sampling. Sampling and sample transfer shall be in accordance with ISO 10715. Purge time shou

37、ld be long enough to obtain replicate stable analytical results within the acceptable standard deviation of the analyser. The purge time needed depends on the type and concentration of the sulfur compound, materials in contact with the gas, and the gas flow rate through the sample loop. Sampling of

38、the gas can be carried out in two different ways: at atmospheric pressure in a silanized glass vessel, equipped with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) plugs or a sampling bag made of material inert to sulfur compounds, such as polyvinylfluoride (PVF) or PTFE, which has been flushed with dilute hydrochl

39、oric acid, subsequently flushed with distilled water and dried; after the glass vessel is filled with the gas under study, it should be shielded from daylight; under pressure in a stainless steel or aluminium cylinder, if the sulfur content exceeds 50 mg/m3. 3.2 Safety precautions Safety precautions

40、 required in handling gas cylinders with pressurized flammable gas mixtures are described in ISO 10715. If a pressure regulator is to be connected to the cylinder, always use a regulator whose materials of construction are recommended by the producer of the calibration gas. For other precautions and

41、 advice for the use, sampling and handling of gas mixtures containing sulfur compounds, see Clause 3 of ISO 19739:2004 and ISO 16664. 4 Methods for determination of total sulfur content To carry out the analyses, reference should be made to the specific methods which are described in detail in ISO 4

42、260, ISO 19739, ISO 6326-3 and ISO 6326-5. 4.1 Wickbold combustion method (ISO 4260) 4.1.1 Scope This method is applicable to products having sulfur content on the order of 1 mg/m3, and is particularly suitable for gases with total sulfur content in the range 1 mg/m3to 20 000 mg/m3and for distillate

43、s with total sulfur content of less than 300 mg/m3. 4.1.2 Principle The natural gas is supplied to the burner of a hydrogen-oxygen flame, where the sulfur compounds undergo combustion with a considerable excess of oxygen. The resulting sulfur oxides are converted into sulfuric acid by absorption in

44、hydrogen peroxide solution. Depending on the sulfur content of the sample, the sulfate ions in the absorption solution are determined by colorimetric, nephelometric, turbidimetric or conductometric titration (see Table 2).

The precision is a function of a) the sulfur concentratio

47、n of the gas, and b) the type of titration used in the determination. The repeatability for samples containing 10 mg/m3ranges from 5 % to 7 % and the reproducibility is 13 %. 4.2 Lingener combustion method (ISO 6326-5) 4.2.1 Scope The method is suitable for the determination of the total sulfur cont

48、ent in natural gas. The method is applicable to gases with sulfur content in the range from 0,5 mg/m3to 1 000 mg/m3. 4.2.2 Principle A given volume of gas undergoes combustion with air at atmospheric pressure in a glass combustion apparatus. The resulting sulfur oxides are converted into sulfuric ac

49、id by absorption in hydrogen peroxide solution. If the total sulfur content is more than 0,1 mg sulfur in the absorption solution, visual titration with an indicator can be chosen, whereas for lower concentrations, turbidimetric titration is preferable. 4.2.3 Results and precision The total sulfur content of the sample is expressed in milligrams of sulfur per cubic metre of gas and rounded off to 0,5 mg/m3in the case of determination by visual titration and to 0,1 mg/m3in the case of determination by turbid
