Intensity Characteristics of S2 Emission for Sulfur Compounds with Flame Photometric Detector

Abstract
The effect of the bond-structure of sulfur atoms on the emissive response of sulfur containing compounds is examined with a flame photometric detector. The response of a flame photometric detector varies enormously with the type of the sulfur compounds. Butyl sulfide, the most sensitive compound, is more responsive than pentyl disulfide, the least sensitive, by a factor of about 100. Although the response for butanethiol and phenyl sulfide varies almost linearly with the concentration of the compounds, the response of the others relates in a non-linear manner to both the concentration or its square.
