Sulfur and Ultra-Low Chlorine in Crude Oil
18 Dec 2014The simultaneous analysis of sulfur and ultra-low chlorine in crude oil is demonstrated in this application note using the Rigaku NEX CG EDXRF analyzer. The versatility of the NEX CG for multi-element analysis make it an ideal tool for measuring many other elements and oil matrices such as lube oils, wear metals in oils, used oils and waste oil, as well as ultra-low sulfur measurement in diesel and gasoline, giving the user versatility for analysis throughout the petroleum industry.

X-Ray Diffraction and SpectroscopyX-Ray diffraction & spectroscopy are used in material characterization to discern the structure and elemental composition of a sample. X-Ray diffractometers (XRD) are superior instruments in elucidating the dimensional atomic structure of crystalline materials, including powders, thin films and single crystals. For large unit cells or ordered macromolecules, consider small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). X-ray spectroscopic techniques include X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), both providing simple and accurate methods for determining the elemental composition of a material. Energy dispersive (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive (WDXRF) XRF spectrometers are available, as well as handheld/portable devices. High-resolution, 3D microstructure characterization of materials can be achieved with X-ray microscopes combining sub-micron resolution imaging with 3D computed tomography.
