Abstract
Research is reported concerning an acceptable method for sampling and analyzing samples for carbon disulfide. Test atmospheres of carbon disulfide were generated dynamically using the syringe injection method, and the theoretical concentration verified by a liquid absorbent, colorimetiric method. The CS2 was adsorbed on charcoal tubes, eluted with benzene, and quantitated with a gas chromatograph equipped with a sulfur flame photometric detector,. The results compared with the colorimetric analysis. The sensitivity of this method is 1 µg on a charcoal tube. The charcoal tubes were also tested for breakthrough volumes, holding power vs time, and the effect of air transport and temperature cycles.
