Procedures for Sulfur Isotope Abundance Studies

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the available techniques for gas preparation and mass spectrometric measurements of sulfur compounds. The most suitable procedures extracting compounds from gaseous, dissolved, solid samples isotopic studies cycle in atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, pedosphere, biosphere are elaborated. It also appropriate extraction various raw materials. Sulfur isotope ratio determinations comprises three main steps such as S sample conversion into BaSO 4 , Ag 2 S, or other pure S-containing compounds, a measurement SO spectrometry dual inlet mode. Reliable individual complex matrixes remains key successful use techniques. methodology is applied four ways namely dilution measurements, labeling tracer studies, determination fractionation by independent conversions, dependent conversions.
