JIS K2541 Shale Oil Elemental Analysis Testing
Shale oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds found in shale rock. The analysis of elemental composition in shale oil plays a crucial role in understanding its properties, refining processes, and environmental impact. JIS K2541 outlines the standard for this analysis, ensuring that testing methods are consistent across different laboratories worldwide.
The primary goal of this service is to provide accurate and reliable elemental analysis of shale oil samples as per JIS K2541 guidelines. This includes identifying trace elements such as iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), chlorine (Cl), and nitrogen (N) among others.
Our team of experienced professionals uses state-of-the-art instruments including Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) to ensure precise measurement. The ICP-MS technique allows for the detection of even trace amounts of elements, which is essential when dealing with shale oil samples where concentrations can vary widely.
Specimen preparation involves several steps starting from sample collection up until final analysis. Samples are typically collected directly from wells or produced fluids and then transferred to our laboratory for processing. Once received at the lab, they undergo rigorous quality control checks before being prepared for analysis. This includes cleaning, drying, grinding if necessary, and dissolution into a suitable solvent.
The analytical process itself follows strict procedures outlined in JIS K2541 ensuring consistency and accuracy of results. After preparation, samples are injected into the ICP-MS instrument where they undergo ionization followed by mass separation based on molecular weight rather than electrical charge allowing for highly accurate determination of elemental composition.
Upon completion of testing, comprehensive reports are generated detailing all detected elements along with their respective concentrations. These reports serve as valuable tools for decision-making processes within various sectors including refining operations, environmental monitoring programs, and academic research projects focused on understanding shale oil resources better.
We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality results consistently across multiple samples tested under this standard. Our commitment to excellence ensures that you receive accurate data which can be relied upon when making important decisions regarding your business or project.
