Carbon-Sulfur in Limestone-Dolomite using CS844

Limestone and dolomite are sedimentary rocks with an enormous diversity of uses in a variety of fields. Due to the variety of uses for these materials, confirmation of material purity is a key quality control metric. Total carbon and sulfur content are the most common metrics used to confirm purity by the industry due to the simplicity and reliability of the test procedure. The preferred method for total carbon and sulfur determination is combustion in an induction furnace, where sulfur is oxidized to SO2 and carbon to CO2. Total carbon and sulfur are calculated relative to the amount of SO2 and CO2 produced. With its high efficiency furnace, heated dust filter, dual range detection system, and high precision and accuracy, the CS844 is a smart addition for any industrial laboratory.
