Species of Sulfur in Sour Gas Reservoir: Insights from In Situ Raman Spectroscopy of S–H2S–CH4–H2O System and Its Subsystems from 20 to 250°C by Yifan Yu, Wenxuan Hu, I-Ming Chou, Lei Jiang, Ye Wan, Yiqun Li, Yang Xin, Xiaolin Wang

“…A Raman band at ~533 cm−1 was detected in the aqueous phase of the S–H2S–H2O–CH4 system at 250°C and was assigned to S3−, suggesting that S3− and H2Sn are important S species in sour gas reservoirs at elevated temperatures. (2) The Raman peak at 2500 cm−1 disappeared at 20°C, indicating that H2Sn decomposes into S and H2S. …”

Enhancing the targeted and untargeted analysis of honey by vacuum-assisted SPME-GC × GC-MS. A green, practical, and highly informative approach by Damien Eggermont, Francesca Pardi, Giorgia Purcaro

“…The use of vacuum-assisted headspace (Vac-HS) coupled with solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a technique that has been recently proven to be highly beneficial for enhancing the extraction of semi-volatile in shorter time and milder temperatures. This technique indeed increases the extraction kinetics by reducing the mass transfer resistance at the interface between the sample and headspace. …”
