· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Sulfur
Sulfur is a non-metal with the symbol S and atomic number 16 . Elemental sulfur is a yellow crystal at room temperature. It is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and in the universe. It is used primarily as a precursor to other chemicals or is converted to sulfuric acid.
Sulfur can be retained and analyzed using the Newcrom R1 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (MeCN). Detection is performed using UV.
