Rt®-XLSulfur Columns
(packed & micropacked)
Sulfur analyses are traditionally performed using PTFE tubing to improve column inertness. Unfortunately, PTFE tubing is gas permeable, difficult to pack with high efficiency, prone to shrinkage, and has poor thermal stability. The Rt®-XLSulfur packed or micropacked column eliminates these problems.
The packing material for Rt®-XLSulfur columns is extensively deactivated for analysis of low ppbv levels of hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan. It is then treated to achieve effective separation of hydrocarbons from sulfur compounds. The interior wall and the end fittings of the Rt®-XLSulfur column are Sulfinert® treated, making the column as inert as PTFE. The extra care taken to manufacture this column ensures more accurate analyses of sulfur compounds.
Features:
- Optimized columns for low ppbv sulfur analyses.
- Eliminate the need for PTFE tubing.
- Column and end fittings are Sulfinert® treated for maximum inertness.
- Maximum temperature of 290 °C.
Column Characteristics:
- Length: 1.00, 2.00 (m)
- ID: 0.75, 1.00, 2.00 (mm)

Rt®-XLSulfur Packed GC Column for Analysis of Low-Level Sulfur Compounds in C1-C6 Hydrocarbon Streams
The analysis of sulfur compounds in C1-C6 hydrocarbon streams by gas chromatography (GC) is an important application in the petrochemical field as its presence in petroleum products can affect the longevity and performance of catalysts used in hydrocarbon processing. This application note describes how Restek’s Rt®-XLSulfur column is capable of the challenging separation of hydrocarbons from sulfur compounds as all parts have been optimized for inertness.
