Combustion Analysers for Non-Metals Analysis

Intertek MSG uses combustion analysers for the accurate determination of non-metals in solid and liquid samples. In addition some non-metals can be analysed using XRF, ICP-OES, ICP-MS, ion chromatography, titration

Intertek MSG non-metal analysers include:

• Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur determination (in various combinations)
• Chemiluminescence
• Oxidative microcoulometry
• Ion Chromatography
• XRF
• ICP-OES
• ICP-MS
• Titration

Their use enables

• Elemental analysis at a wide range of concentration levels
• Direct analysis of solids and liquids for combustion analysers
• Typically less than 1 gram of sample required
• Introduction of organic samples
• High throughput achievable with autosamplers
• Fully quantitative analysis
• Wide range of materials covered e.g. adhesives, polymers, powders, petrochemicals, feedstocks, oils, process liquors, surfactants, catalysts, raw materials, extracts, residues, pharmaceuticals, formulations, deposits

Applications of non-metals analysis includes:

• Quantitation of carbon, sulphur and chlorine on spent catalysts
• Sulphur in process streams
• Nitrogen in petrochemical feedstocks
• Indirect measurement of nitrogen containing processing aids
• Matrix evaluation to assist with semiquantitative XRF evaluation of unknowns
• Identity and quantitation of anions
