Abstract An analytical method for detecting impurities in high-purity sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) gas is established by using chromatography (GC) based on the enhanced plasma detector (EPD). The concentration of (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, dioxide, tetrafluoride, hexafluoroethane, and octafluoropropane) can be quantitatively detected through one-time sampling external...
