Determination of sulfur content in fuels

The sulfur content in fuels, Diesel fuels, and in the solutions of dibutyls ulfide in a white oil was determined by various methods. The results obtain ed by elemental analysis have shown that the method is not advisable for th e determination of sulfur in fuels. A good agreement was found by comparing the results in the determination of the sulfur content by Grote-Krekeler's and Bermann-Moritz's methods and by the energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescen ce analysis. The last method is the modern, comfortable, and timesaving met hod enabling the fast and precise determination of sulfur contents in the v arious types of samples.
