A method and an apparatus for photometrically analyzing the hydrogen sulfide concentration in a stream containing at least a first predetermined concentration of bonded hydrogen sulfide-amines and ultraviolet radiation-absorbing impurities is characterized by isolating a first, reference, sample of the stream and removing the hydrogen sulfide from the reference sample until a second, lower, predetermined concentration remains. Thereafter, the first, reference, sample is photometrically analyzed and a reference signal representative of the ultraviolet radiation-absorbing characteristics of the first, reference, sample is produced. The reference signal is thereafter used in the photometric analysis of a second sample to produce a signal representative only of the hydrogen sulfide concentration in the second sample.

1. A method for photometrically analyzing the hydrogen sulfide concentration in a stream containing at least a first predetermined concentration of bonded hydrogen sulfide-amines and ultraviolet radiation-absorbing impurities comprising the sequential steps of: (a) removing the hydrogen sulfide from a first, reference, sample of the stream until a second predetermined concentration remains therein; (b) photometrically analyzing the first, reference, sample to generate a reference signal representative of the ultraviolet radiation-absorbing characteristics of the remaining hydrogen sulfide and of the impurities in the first, reference, sample; and (c) photometrically analyzing a second sample of the stream in a manner which takes into account the reference signal to generate a signal representative of the concentration of hydrogen sulfide therein. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the removing step (a) comprises the steps of: (a1) isolating the first, reference, sample of the stream; and (a2) introducing hydrogen chloride into the isolated first, reference, sample until the second predetermined concentration of hydrogen sulfide is zero. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the removing step (a) comprises the steps of: (a1) isolating the first, reference, sample of the stream; and (a2) exposing the isolated first, reference, sample to a predetermined pressure less than atmospheric pressure at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period to remove the hydrogen sulfide from the first, reference, sample to the second predetermined concentration. 4. The method of claim 3 wherein the predetermined pressure lies within the range from 1.5 to 2.0 pounds per square inch (absolute). 5. The method of claim 3 wherein the predetermined pressure is 2.0 pounds per square inch (absolute). 6. The method of claim 3, 4 or 5 wherein the predetermined temperature lies within the range from 60° C. to 80° C. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the predetermined temperature is 70° C. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein the predetermined time period lies in the range from thirty to ninety minutes. 9. The method of claim 8 wherein the predetermined time period lies in the range from fifty to sixty minutes. 10. The method of claim 3, 4, or 5 wherein the predetermined time period lies in the range from thirty to ninety minutes. 11. The method of claim 6 wherein the predetermined time period lies in the range from thirty to ninety minutes. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein the predetermined time period lies in the range from fifty to sixty minutes. 13. The method of claim 10 wherein the predetermined time period lies in the range from fifty to sixty minutes. 14. The method of claim 3 wherein the predetermined pressure lies within the range from 5.0 to 7.0 pounds per square inch (absolute). 15. The method of claim 14 wherein the predetermined temperature lies within the range from 90° C. to 110° C. 16. The method of claim 15 wherein the predetermined temperature is 100° C. 17. The method of claim 3, 14 or 16 wherein the predetermined time period lies in the range from three to four hours. 18. The method of claim 15 wherein the predetermined time lies in the range from three to four hours. 19. A method for photometrically analyzing the hydrogen sulfide concentration in a stream containing at least a first predetermined concentration of bonded hydrogen sulfide-amines and ultraviolet radiation-absorbing impurities comprising the sequential steps of: (a) isolating a first, reference, sample of the stream; (b) removing the hydrogen sulfide from the first, reference, sample to lower the concentration of hydrogen sulfide therein to a second predetermined concentration; (c) photometrically analyzing the first, reference, sample to generate a reference signal representative of the ultraviolet radiation-absorbing characteristics of the remaining hydrogen sulfide and of the impurities in the first, reference, sample; (d) photometrically analyzing a second sample of the stream to generate a second signal representative of the ultraviolet radiation-absorbing characteristics of the bonded hydrogen sulfide-amines and ultraviolet radiation-absorbing impurities therein; and (e) generating a signal functionally related to the second signal and to the reference signal and representative of the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the second sample. 20. The method of claim 19 wherein the removing step (b) comprises the step of: (b1) introducing hydrogen chloride into the isolated, first, reference, sample to reduce the concentration of hydrogen sulfide therein to zero. 21. The method of claim 19 wherein the removing step (b) comprises the step of: (b1) maintaining the isolated first, reference, sample at a predetermined pressure less than atmospheric pressure and at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period to lower the concentration of hydrogen sulfide to the second predetermined concentration. 22. The method of claim 21 wherein the predetermined pressure lies in the range from 1.5 to 2.0 pounds per square inch (absolute), wherein the predetermined temperature lies in the range from 60° C. to 80° C. and the predetermined time period lies in the range from thirty to ninety minutes. 23. The method of claim 21 wherein the predetermined pressure lies in the range from 5.0 to 7.0 pounds per square inch (absolute), wherein the predetermined temperature lies in the range from 90° C. to 110° C., and the predetermined time period lies in the range from three to four hours. 24. In apparatus for photometrically analyzing the hydrogen sulfide concentration in a stream containing at least a first predetermined concentration of bonded hydrogen sulfide-amines and ultraviolet radiation-absorbing impurities the improvement which comprises: a vessel for receiving therein a reference sample of the stream; means for removing hydrogen sulfide from the reference sample until a second predetermined concentration of hydrogen sulfide remains therein; and a photometric analysis instrument adapted to analyze the reference sample to generate an electrical reference signal representative of the ultraviolet radiation-absorbing characteristics of the remaining hydrogen sulfide and of the impurities in the reference sample and to analyze a second sample of the stream in a manner which takes into account the reference signal to generate a signal representative of the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the second sample. 25. Apparatus according to claim 24 wherein said removing means comprises: an aspirating system for drawing the reference sample into the vessel and maintaining the reference sample at a predetermined pressure less than atmospheric pressure for a predetermined time period; and means for applying heat at a predetermined temperature to the reference sample while it is in the vessel to remove the hydrogen sulfide from the reference sample to the second predetermined concentration. 26. Apparatus according to claim 24 wherein said removing means comprises: an aspirating system for drawing the reference sample into the vessel; and a conduit arrangement for introducing a predetermined amount of hydrogen chloride into the vessel to remove the hydrogen sulfide from the reference sample until the second predetermined concentration of hydrogen sulfide is zero.
