3 Method Summary
Decompose the specimen with nitric acid and potassium chlorate, oxidize sulfur to sulfate, add hydrochloric acid and evaporate to dryness, so as to remove the nitric acid. Filter the solution to remove insoluble substances like silicon; in hydrochloric acid medium with pH value of about 1, add barium chloride to generate barium sulfate precipitate. Then, filter out the barium sulfate, precipitate, ignite and weigh it, and then calculate the sulfur content by the mass of barium sulfate. ?
