brochure sur l'analyse de haute précision du carbone et du soufre avec rapid CS cube

High precision carbon and sulfur analysis

High sensitivity | High data quality | High sample throughput | Extreme durability

Key Features

• Industry-leading throughput
• Integrated 60-120 position autosampler as standard
• Unique chlorine determination as an option
• Low maintenance
• Patented ball valve for blank-free sample transfer
• 10 year warranty on furnace

The rapid CS cube is designed for fast, automated analysis of carbon and sulfur in coal, coke or biomass. Its outstanding sensitivity (LOD 2 ppm S in coal) makes it a universal instrument for all samples in this application area. Using tin foil to wrap the samples avoids dust formation and contamination in the analyzer. Thus, customers can enjoy outstanding low maintenance efforts and highest possible instrument uptime.

Functional Principle of rapid CS cube

• Combustion: Furnace | Drying Tube | SO2 Detection
• Post-Combustion: Furnace | Drying Tube | CO2 Detection

Fully Automated Operation

The rapid CS cube offers an integrated autosampler as standard for high sample throughput and safe unattended overnight measurements. The proprietary blank-free ball-valve technology assures reliable sample feeding without the need for sophisticated and therefore susceptible mechanics. During operation, all sample positions are accessible and reloadable at any position and time. Depending on sample throughput and sample size, the system can be equipped with 60-120 position carousels.

Norms and Standards

The rapid CS cube is in accordance with all important international coal and coke standards, such as ASTM D4239-12 (S in coal and coke), DIN 51724-3 (S in solid fuels) as well as ISO 15178:2000 (S in soil), EN 15936 (TOC in solids), etc.

Great Application Flexibility

The rapid CS cube is able to analyze e.g. 400 mg of coal, less than 1 mg of fine chemicals, or 100 mg of plant material. The results are always accurate. No complicated sample preparation is required. In addition, the instrument allows the direct determination of TOC after external acidification of the solid sample. Moreover, the soliTIC module gives rise to reliable and robust TIC determination via the difference method. The instrument can also be easily retrofitted to measure liquid samples. Solid samples of 1 g may be measured with outstanding precision and accuracy.

Unique Chlorine Determination

The rapid CS cube can be equipped with a chlorine module for fast and easy determination of chlorine, thus avoiding the necessity for a dedicated Cl analyzer. The chlorine detection is performed by means of solid-state electrochemical cells which are – unlike microcoulometric detectors – almost maintenance free. Analysis time for chlorine in coke is just about 15 minutes. Elementar offers a variety of detectors, enabling chlorine measurements over a wide range.

Future-Proof Investment

Thanks to the outstanding robustness and longevity for all elemental analyzers, a 10 year warranty on the furnace is granted. With our well-known long-term oriented dedication to technical support, Elementar provides spare parts for a minimum of 10 years after the end of production. This results in outstanding low total cost of ownership and gives customers confidence in return of investment.

Ease of Use

The rapid CS cube is optimized to significantly simplify the daily routine operation. Clearly arranged, easily accessible system components as well as a furnace that slides out minimize maintenance efforts. The tool-free clamp connection system ensures a reliably leak-tight instrument at any time. Thus, customers can enjoy smooth analyses and confidence in their results.
