This application note successfully demonstrates the selective retention and resolution of low molecular weight sulfur containing species on an Agilent J&W GS-OxyPLOT column. The selective retention for sulfur species enables enough of a retention shift away from hydrocarbon matrices such as base gasoline and n-butane to demonstrate the feasibility of effective quantification of sulfur species in process streams. Using an Agilent J&W GS-OxyPLOT column it is possible to shift the retention of sulfur containing analytes away from a hydrocarbon matrix to achieve effective quantification in the low ppm range.
This document serves as an application note for the Agilent J&W GS-OxyPLOT column, highlighting its ability to provide selective retention for sulfur-containing species. This selectivity allows for the effective separation and quantification of low molecular weight sulfur compounds, such as mercaptans, thiols, and sulfides, within complex hydrocarbon matrices like base gasoline and n-butane.
