Sulphur compounds immobilised on silica are ideal calibrants for TPR (temperature programmed reduction) and should find applications in other techniques, for example, Ledge XANES and temperature programmed oxidation being used to specify organic sulphur forms in coals. The atmospheric pressure TPR traces of the non-thiophenic compounds investigated are dominated by high temperature peaks from secondary reactions which do not appear to be affected by immobilisation on the silica. As a consequence of the high surface coverages used, such reactions are still evident with 150 bar hydrogen although the characteristic reduction temperatures of the non-thiophenic compounds investigated are all below 400{degrees}C and well resolved from that of dibenzothiophene. The high pressure TPR experiments on the immobilised substrates have validated the previous conclusions on coals.
