Carbon and sulphur by combustion

HORIBA EMIA

Q: What is the difference between EMIA-Pro and EMIA-Expert?

Both use induction furnace and have a typical cycle of 70 seconds. EMIA-Expert starts in smaller concentrations, provides greater precision and brings together advanced purification and filtering capabilities.

Q: What is EMIA-Step used for?

The EMIA-Step uses a tubular furnace with programmable ambient temperature up to 1450 °C for total analysis and for studies of fractions that break down or burn at different temperatures.

Dedicated analysis of carbon and sulfur especially in steels, irons and alloys, as well as ores, cement, ceramics and other inorganic materials, from ppm to percentage.

HORIBA EMIA line of carbon and sulfur analyzers

Direct response

The HORIBA EMIA line combines carbon and sulfur analyzers by oxygen combustion and NDIR detection. EMIA-Pro and EMIA-Expert use high-frequency induction furnace; EMIA-Step uses tubular electric resistance furnace with programmable temperature up to 1450 °C.

Highlights

Combustion by matrix and analytical range

The family combines routine throughput, low concentration performance and thermal control for applications that require separating fractions released in different stages.

From ppm to percent levels

Specific bands by model and element, with platforms dedicated to C/S, C or S.

Typical cycle of 70 s

Published value for EMIA-Pro and EMIA-Expert, including measurement, result and cleaning.

Automatic cleaning

In Pro and Expert models, the combustion region is clean within the cycle flow.

Guided software

Analysis, maintenance, troubleshooting, self-diagnosis and alarms in an integrated interface.

Measurement principle

How C/S analysis works

01 · DOSAGEM

Preparation

The sample is weighed in the appropriate consumable. Pro/Expert use crucibles and accelerators; Step uses combustion boat.

02 · COMBUSSION

Oxidation

Combustion occurs in oxygen by induction of high-frequency or in a controlled tubular furnace.

03 · TRATAMENTO

Conditioning

Dust and moisture are removed or controlled before detection.

04 · NDIR

Quantification

CO, CO2 and SO2 are measured to calculate carbon and sulfur.
