Journal Article · Wed Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1975 · Annu. Book ASTM Stand.; (United States)

OSTI ID:7296771

This method covers the determination of sulfur in natural gas containing not more than 1.0 grain of sulfur/100 ft/sup 3/ (23 mg/m/sup 3/) and not more than 0.5 percent of C/sub 5/ and heavier hydrocarbons. A measured sample of gas is mixed with humidified hydrogen and passed over platinum gauze at 900/sup 0/C in a tube furnace. Organic sulfur in the gas is converted to hydrogen sulfide, which is absorbed in a zinc acetate solution and determined by the methylene blue procedure (Method D 2725).
