Characterization and optimization of flame photometric detection in supercritical fluid chromatography
The flame of photometric detector (FPD) was optimized for the analysis of organosulfur compounds by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The flame gases used in this study were hydrogen and oxygen. The optimum flow rates for hydrogen and oxygen were determined. The effect of placing the pressure restrictor different distances away from the flame was examined. The flame chemistry that results when carbon dioxide flows into a hydrogen-rich flame was characterized. The coelution of hydrocarbons with sulfur-containing compounds did not markedly quench the sulfur dimer signal for concentrations that were appropriate for capillary SFC. Detection limits as low as 0.1 ng of sulfur were achieved with detectivities of 8 pg/s.
