Abstract:
Capillary gas chromatography coupled with pulsed flame photometric detector (GC/PFPD) was used for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of sulfur compounds in five diesels. The result show that the sulfur compounds present in straight run diesel (156.5℃~272.5℃) are mainly alkyl-substituted benzothiophenes (BTs),and the dominant sulfur compounds are C
3~4BTs, alkyl-substituted dibenzothiophenes (DBTs) in straight run diesel (204.0℃~363.0℃). Alkyl-substituted BTs and DBT are abundance and no other sulfur compounds were identified in the FCC diesel and hydrofining diesel. Sulfurcontaining compounds in coking diesel including almost all types of sulfides in middle distillate fractions.
