The standardizati

23、on 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, etc.) and the requirements of the determinations (e.g. required uncertainty, measurement at the drilling h

24、ead, clean-up plant or in transmission pipes). In order to enable its user to choose the most appropriate method for his/her particular needs and perform the measurements under the best conditions, this International Standard gives the requirements needed to perform a sulfur analysis. 4 EN ISO 19739

25、:2005+AC:2009 (E) DIN EN ISO 19739:2009-08 5WARNING Some sulfur compounds can constitute a serious health hazard. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the determination of hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, C1to C4thiols, sulfides and tetrahydrothiophene (THT) using gas chromatography (GC)

26、. Depending on the method chosen from those given in the annexes, the application ranges for the determination of sulfur compounds can vary, but whichever of the methods is used, the requirements of this International Standard apply. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indi

NOTE 1 See

43、Annex A for a list of chromatographic columns mostly used in sulfur analysis. NOTE 2 The absence of chromatographic separation between COS and H2S will lead to an error in total sulfur amount calculation. EN ISO 19739:2005+AC:2009 (E) DIN EN ISO 19739:2009-08 8 5.3 Detectors for detecting sulfur com

44、pounds: sulfur-specific, multi-specific (respond to halogen, sulfur), and/or general detectors. See Annex B for descriptions of suitable detectors. NOTE 1 Separation problems on a column could be solved by using a sulfur-specific detector, as hydrocarbons will not be seen by it. NOTE 2 Matrix effect

45、s can occur in sulfur analysis with certain methods/detectors. NOTE 3 Sulfur response can be affected by quenching effects produced by hydrocarbons. NOTE 4 Many detectors use an excited state of a molecule or atom to detect sulfur. An atom or molecule with one electron shifted from its normal orbit

46、to another (more energetic) is said to be excited. When it relaxes, returning to its normal state, the electron falls back to its normal orbit emitting a photon. The energy of this photon is relative to the difference in energy between the orbits. The wavelength of the photon is specific for each ex

47、cited state. So, if photons of different wavelength are separated (by a filter, monochromator, diffraction prism, etc.), the amount of specific photons can be measured. 6 Sampling The sampling procedures are very important in the analysis of sulfur compounds. Sulfur compounds have a strong tendency

48、to adsorb on to, or to chemically react with, different materials of construction. Low contents of sulfur compounds in samples and calibration gas mixtures place demands on the sampling procedure to ensure that the sulfur compounds in correct quantity reach the analytical detector. Carry out represe

49、ntative 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. Collecting a sample and removing it to a remote location should be done only when no other option is available. Even then, a stain tube should be run onsite to give some means of verifying the approximate level of sulfur compounds present prior to transporting the sample. How critical this is depends on the species of interest: ethyl mercaptan
