Molecular composition of organic impurities in extrapure sulfur

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have determined the molecular composition of organic impurities in extrapure sulfur obtained by the distillation purification of sulfur recovered from gaseous hydrocarbons. Using vacuum extraction, we obtained a concentrate of impurities highly volatile compared to the major component. Gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry analysis indicated the presence of impurities in the form of hydrocarbons with up to eight carbon atoms and their thio, oxy, and nitro derivatives. The detection of this group of impurities accounts for the distinctive features of the preparation of sulfur with low carbon and oxygen contents through ultrapurification of gas-derived sulfur.
