In this paper a procedure for the fractionation and the characterization of sulfur containing compounds in petroleum distillated is described. The method is based on a chromatographic separation using alumna columns coated with silver nitrate (Ligard Exchange Chromatography) which permits the separation of molecules containing aromatic sulfur (thiophenic compounds) from the sulfides. The subsequent gc analysis using selective atomic emission detector allows the quantification of the two types of compound s in each fraction. The results of the application of this procedure on an Egyptian gas-oil from Belaym crude are reported.
