The present invention provides a method for analyzing particulate matter in a gas for analyzing simply and with high precision the particulate matter in an engine emission and an apparatus therefor by which dry soot, SOF and sulfate in PM contained in an engine emission can be fractionated individually even in a trifle amount. The present invention further provides a carbon differentiating and analyzing apparatus capable of differentiating and analyzing with precision the organic carbon and the elemental carbon contained in a sample and capable of performing a predetermined analysis with precision in a short time by reducing the period of time required for the analysis. The present invention is constituted such that a heating furnace is provided with a filter which has caught PM contained in engine emission. The filter is heated at a predetermined temperature while passing an inert gas into the heating furnace to evaporate the SOF and sulfate contained in PM. The evaporated SOF is oxidized into CO and the evaporated sulfate is reduced into SO . The CO and SO are analyzed with a gas analyzer unit, and thereafter, the filter is heated while passing oxygen into the heating furnace to oxidize the PM remaining on the filter to have it generate CO . The CO is analyzed with the. gas analyzer unit. The present invention is constituted such that a thermal decomposition tube includes, successively from its upstream side a carrier gas inlet, a low temperature heating portion for evaporating organic carbon in the sample, and a high temperature heating portion for thermally decomposing elemental carbon in the sample, whereby the organic carbon is separated in the low temperature heating portion and the elemental carbon is separated in the high temperature heating portion.

An apparatus and method of identifying substances contained in a sample to both identify the elements in the sample and to measure a distribution of the elements are provided. The sample is scanned with electron beams to form X-ray images of two or elements. These X-ray images can be used to form a scattering diagram, and the composition of known materials can be plotted on the scattering diagram. The substances contained in the samples can be identified, and the distribution of the substances can be obtained by comparing the data on the scattering diagram with the plot.
