This document introduces a new product (Application 460B-00) from Agilent Technologies/Wasson-ECE, which uses a 5973N GC/MSD (gas chromatograph/mass selective detector) to determine trace levels of impurities in ethylene and propylene. The product shows comparable performance in terms of linearity and repeatability compared to GC/FID or GC/TCD. The sensitivity of GC/MSD is increased 50-fold compared to GC/FID, and 5000-fold compared to GC/TCD.

This document describes an optimized method for the analysis of sulfur and nitrogen compounds in gasoline- and diesel range materials. The analysis is performed using an Agilent 6890 gas chromatograph (GC) configured with an Agilent G2350A atomic emission detection (AED) system. A 30-m × 0.32-mm, 1-mmmmm HP-1 MS capillary column is used for separation. The method is applicable to low-sulfur gasoline and diesel fuels. Nitrogen compounds can also be determined. The method can be applied to other light gas oil fractions with final boiling points of approximately C25 (402 ºC, 756 ºF). The configuration meets the requirements for determining sulfur in gasoline by ASTM method D 5623. The procedure can be extended to also measure oxygenates, organolead, organomanganese, and fluorine compounds in gasoline and diesel fractions.
