              Introduction
            The element concentration of carbon (C), sulfur (S), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N),
            and oxygen (O) in iron products, such as steel, have a significant influence on
            material properties like ductility, brittleness, or hardness. Hence, reliable
            determination of the C, H, N, S, O contents is a routine quality control task in
            steel and iron production. This article explores the application fields and
            advantages of elemental analyzers, which are also known as combustion
            analyzers, in the steel industry.
            Different analytical methods
            A great variety of different analytical methods are used in steel and iron
            production1. Disregarding analyses of physical parameters, such as hardness or
            tensile strength, and focusing solely on chemical analyses, the different
            techniques can be categorized, for example, with regard to the measurement
            method applied (AAS, OES, photometry, mass spectrometry, etc.). A common
            differentiation is made between wet chemical techniques which require sample
            digestion, e.g. by ICP-OES, and direct analysis methods like spark spectrometry
            or combustion analysis. Another possible classification could be made for total
            element analysis as opposed to surface or layer analysis. The following article
            mainly focuses on the differences between spark spectrometry and combustion
            analysis as these are the most common and established techniques for
            measuring concentrations of C, H, N, S, O. Moreover, both methods are hardly
            mentioned in general textbooks about analytical chemistry2, despite the fact that
            they are widely used in laboratories and production.
            Spectrometric methods such as spark spectrometry are theoretically suitable for
            analysis of an unlimited number of elements of the periodical system.
            Combustion analyzers, however, are specialized in the quantification of carbon,
            hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. The limitation to these elements has
            some advantages. It is possible to measure solid samples which, due to their
            geometry (powders, drillings, foils, pins), composition (coke, oils), or the
            1
            Handbuch für das Eisenhüttenlaboratorium, 2009, Band 1
            2
            e. g. Cammann (Instrumenle Analytik, 2001); Kellner, Mermet (Analytical Chemistry, 1997); Skoog
            (Instrumenle Analytik, 2013
            element to be determined (e.g. hydrogen) are not suitable for analysis with a
            method like spark spectrometry.
            However, there is no universal combustion analyzer available in the market
            which can measure all elements. A further differentiation with regard to the
            chemical nature of the sample is required. Thus, samples are divided into
            organic materials with high carbon content like coal or coke, and inorganic
            materials like steel, iron or copper. For organic samples a further differentiation
            is made between determination of C,S and C,H,N,O,S;
            respectively for inorganic materials between N,O,H and
            H analysis. These different requirements are covered by
            different analyzers. Table 1 gives an overview of
            analysis systems, reaction gases, temperatures and
            required additives. What all elemental analyzers have in
            common is a combination of sample disintegration by
            combustion and measurement of the released gases in
            infrared and thermal conductivity cells (e.g. in ELTRA’s
            CS-800, fig. 1).


            A specialty of combustion analyzers is the possibility of fractional analysis which
            is not - or only to a limited extent - available with spectrometric methods.
            Fractional analysis means determination of the elemental concentration
            according to the chemical and/or physical bonding in the material. TOC analysis
            (total organic carbon), fractional hydrogen analysis or determination of surface
            carbon have become an established part of routine analyses (see table 2).
            Measuring the surface carbon content with elemental analyzers is compley
            different from layer analysis with spectroscopic methods such as GD-OES.
            Combustion analyzers exclusively detect the surface carbon which originates
            from oil or process water, for example. Bound carbon, e.g. from carbonitriding,
            is not accessible with this technique. Technically possible is a differentiation

            between varieties of bound oxygen (e.g. from iron or lode stuff); however, due
            to a number of influencing factors it is hardly suitable for routine analysis.
            between varieties of bound oxygen (e.g. from iron or lode stuff); however, due
            to a number of influencing factors it is hardly suitable for routine analysis.
            Specifications of combustion analyzers
            The determination of C, H, N, S, O is stipulated in various standards (see table
            3). Table 3 shows a representative excerpt; depending on the region, further
            ISO or ASTM standards (e.g. ASTM E1019) may apply. The standards define the
            allowed measuring range for a particular element, permissible calibration
            materials and their use and, where required, procedures of sampling and sample
            preparation. Technical requirements for analyzers, however, are hardly specified
            by the standards. For oxygen and nitrogen measurement, the standard only
            mentions general laboratory instruments without further specification. For
            carbon and sulfur analysis, however, standardized components of C/S analyzers,
            such as gas purification, dust trap or induction furnace are listed. Hence, all
            common C/S and O/N/H analyzers fulfill the requirements of the standard.

            Despite the fact that spark spectrometers and combustion analyzers measure
            the same matrix and ascertain similar values, process steps such as sample
            preparation, calibration, measurement procedure and measuring range show
            significant differences which are described in the next paragraph.
            Sample preparation for combustion analysis is quick and easy. All that is
            required is a representative analysis sample in a quantity which can be
            accommodated by the crucible used. Typical sample weights are between 250
            mg and 1000 mg. Sample geometry (drillings, powders, wires, etc.) is not
            important for elemental analyzers. For O/N/H analysis it must be ensured that
            the sample is purged from surrounding atmosphere inside the sample drop
            mechanism. This is very easy for compact individual samples; powders or
            drillings, however, should either be analyzed in a special loading mechanism or
            by using air-tight tin or nickel capsules. Surface contaminations can be removed
            with the help of an organic solvent like acetone.
            Spark spectrometry requires samples with a planar surface, a certain thickness
            to prevent the spark from penetrating the sample, and electric conductivity.
            Contaminations of the surface can be prevented by „presparking“. A suitable
            spectrometric method for analyzing nonconductive samples is, for example, high
            frequency glow discharge.
            Measurement procedure and calibration
            With spark spectrometry all elements are detected simultaneously. The sample is
            fed to the spectrometer, “presparked” if required, and finally the spark is used to
            measure the intensity of the emitted radiation. A necessary prerequisite for
            spectroscopic measurement of oxygen and nitrogen is the use of a spectrometer
            with a suitable wave length (e.g. 130-780 nm)3. Calibration is usually carried out
            by the manufacturer; the user only needs to make a drift correction using
            certified reference material which contains the desired concentration of the
            elements to be determined. The calibration usually matches a narrow
            concentration range with each matrix (e.g. pig iron, different steel alloys, pure
            iron, etc.) requiring an individual measuring method and calibration. The
            drawback of this procedure is its dependence on the required reference
            materials.

            Data obtained from manufacturers such as OBLF, Thermo Scientific

            The measurement of C, H, N, S, O concentrations with combustion analyzers is
            separated into C/S analysis and N/O/H analysis. Pure chemical substances or
            pure gases are suitable calibration materials for both methods. For calibration
            with gas a defined volume of, for example, CO2 is introduced and directly guided
            to the measurement unit without entering the furnace. Both methods allow for a
            daily calibration update, or the existing calibration can be updated with a daily
            factor. In contrast to spark spectrometry there is no strict matrix dependency.
            The user can easily exchange the used standards against others. For C/S
            analysis the sample is mixed with additives such as tungsten or iron, introduced
            into the induction furnace, combusted in an oxygen stream, and finally the
            resulting reaction gases CO2 and SO2 are detected in the infrared cells. ELTRA’s
            CS-2000 offers a combination of inductive combustion with a resistance furnace
            (fig. 2).
            For O/N/H analysis in an electrode furnace the sample is placed in a sample drop
            mechanism where it is purged from ambient atmosphere and dropped into a hot
            graphite crucible. The sample melts, elemental hydrogen and nitrogen are
            released and the oxygen contained in the sample reacts with the graphite
            crucible. The method for quantification of the released gases depends on the
            instrument manufacturer. The standards don’t mention any limitations regarding
            the method. A typical C/S analysis takes approximay 45 seconds, O/N analysis
            about 2 to 3 minutes. This is due to the integrated outgassing of the graphite
            crucible to reduce possible contaminations. Whereas a spark spectrometer
            processes a signal which is constant over time, combustion analysis produces
            transient signals (see fig. 3) which are integrated through the software. This
            does not have a negative influence on the precision and correctness of the
            measured values.


            Whereas different methods of C, N, S, O analysis produce very similar results,
            this is not the case with hydrogen analysis. The highest values are usually
            obtained by fusion in an electrode furnace. The applied temperatures of 3,000 °C
            melt the sample and the contained hydrogen is compley released. ELTRA
            offers analyzers like the ONH-2000 for this application or the H-500 analyzer for
            hot extraction at max. 1,000°C. Analyzing residual hydrogen at ambient
            temperature is also possible with ELTRA instruments.
            Measuring range and accuracy of results
            The measuring range of a spark spectrometer depends on the sample material
            (iron, steel, aluminum), calibration standards and spectrometric parameters like
            optics, performance, etc., and is therefore difficult to define in general.
            Combustion analyzers, however, provide the same measuring range for a great
            variety of sample materials. An induction furnace determines, for example, a
            carbon concentration of 7% regardless whether the material is iron, titan,
            marble, or ceramic. The measuring range is usually defined for a nominal sample
            weight of 1,000 mg. By adjusting the weight it is possible to measure
            significantly higher concentrations. The lower detection limit is defined by the
            signal-to-noise ratio - comparable to spectrometric methods - but can be
            optimized by increasing the sample weight, pre-cleaning the crucibles and
            additives, or catalytic carrier gas purification. A general comparison of detection
            limits and accuracy of the two techniques is difficult as factors like sample
            homogeneity and equipment configuration need to be taken into account. Table
            4 shows a basic comparison. The repeatability defined in standard ISO 15350 is
            hardly comparable with the standard deviation generally ascribed to

            spectrometers but it reflects a tendency. Spectrometers indeed seem to measure
            homogeneous samples more accuray whereas combustion analysis provides
            excellent repeatability even for different analyzers and users.

            Conclusion
            When selecting a suitable method for elemental analysis, economic as well as
            analytic aspects need to be considered. From an economic point of view spark
            spectrometers, for example, are ideally suited for rapid analysis in the steel and
            iron production process. Thanks to the reliable determination of the classic
            elements C, N, S and O they offer possible cost savings for routine operations in
            the lab. However, this advantage needs to be weighed against the high
            investment costs, particularly for automated operations.
            From an analytical point of view, combustion analyzers are high-performance
            instruments which offer additional benefits to the user. They allow for reliable
            measurement of samples with carbon inclusions, provide results over a wide
            measuring range as well as the possibility for fractional analysis. Combustion
            analysis is extremely reliable due to the fact that the results can be traced back
            to primary substances such as chemicals or pure gas. The instruments require
            low investment costs and have a long operating life which makes them attractive
            also from an economic point of view.
