OPERATION AND ANALYSIS PROCESS

Operation of the CS-580 A elemental analyzer is simple, fast and convenient. The samples are weighed and registered in the software as manual analysis or analysis via autoloader. Typical sample weights are between 50 and 500 mg. After starting the analysis, the sample is introduced into the furnace and the combustion gases CO2 and SO2 are measured in up to four infrared measuring cells. The results of the elemental analysis can be exported via LIMS, report or text file.

CONFIGURATIONS AND OPTIONS

The elemental analyzer CS-580 A can be configured to meet a wide range of customer requirements. C, S and C/S configurations are available with up to 2 infrared cells for each element to cover a wide working range. Robust measuring cells for the reliable determination of sulfur in very high concentrations are also available.

The ELTRA CS-580 A series is perfectly equipped for TOC analysis according to DIN EN 15936 with optional acid-resistant autosamplers, as well as the optional TIC module.

An optional autoloader with 130 crucible positions is available for elemental analyses with high sample throughput.

TYPICAL SAMPLE MATERIALS

The CS-580 A elemental analyzer is perfectly suited for measuring carbon and sulfur concentrations in matrices such as ashes, building materials, coal, coke, gypsum, limestone, oil, plant materials, rubber, sand, soil, soot, tobacco, waste

FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE

In the CS-580A elemental analyzers the sample is burnt in an oxygen atmosphere at temperatures of up to 1,550 °C. The furnace temperature can be freely selected in steps of 1 °C. The combustion gasses (CO2, H2O, SO2) coming from the furnace pass through a dust filter. After the water vapor is chemically absorbed, the dried CO2 and SO2 gas is detected in the additional infrared cells. Depending on the configuration, it is possible to combine up to four infrared cells with different sensitivities to measure carbon and sulfur concentrations.
