Jaklevic, J., B. Loo, AND T. Fujita. AUTOMATIC PARTICULATE SULFUR MEASUREMENTS WITH A DICHOTOMOUS SAMPLER AND ON-LINE X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-81/457.

Description:

An instrument is described which employs a dichotomous sampler to acquire fine particulate samples on a continuous tape filter. Analyses for elemental sulfur are performed immediately following acquisition using a sensitive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Sample sequencing, data acquisition, and calculation of concentrations are performed continuously using an on-online calculator. Precision and accuracy of the method are discussed and results obtained from ambient measurements are presented.
