Analysis of fuel gas for organic sulfur in the propane, butane and isobutane isolated therefrom (in German)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6129457
This brief report gave results of analyses of samples taken from production runs of October 22 and 31, 1940. The liquefied fuel gas was first roughly separated into propane, butane, and isobutane in a distillation column, and then the fractions were redistilled in a Podbieliniak apparatus. For the original material and each fraction thereof, the content of organic sulfur was determined by a burning procedure. The amount of organic sulfur in the original material was 15.8 mg/m/sup 3/ and the amount in the isobutane was 18.6 mg/m/sup 3/ in both samples, but the amount in the propane increased from 13.3 to 20.2 mg/m/sup 3/ whereas the amount in the normal butane decreased from 18.3 to 14.0 mg/m/sup 3/. (For both samples, each 1000 liters or original material was separated into 373 1. of propane, 224 1. of isobutane, and 227 1. of normal butane.) 1 table.
