The production of bioethanol from renewable raw materials has great potential to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector. When used as a fuel, ethanol undergoes the same stringent controls for sulfur and trace metals as fossil fuels. Analysis standards and product specifications such as ASTM D4806, D5798, DIN EN 15376, and DIN EN 15293 are used to ensure compliance with these limits. It is therefore important to quickly and precisely monitor metals and nonmetals throughout the production process. Discover how ICP-OES and combustion elemental analysis can be used to handle challenges posed by matrix properties, high organic loads, and widely varying element concentrations.
