4 Principle
In the presence of the catalyst, a weighed sample is combusted at 1 150 °C in a stream of purified air.The sulfur oxides are formed and dissolved in the electrolytic solution. The sulfur dioxides are titrated by the iodine and bromine librated from the electrolysis of the potassium iodide and potassium bromide solution. The quantity of the electricity consumed by electrolysis is integrated and used to calculate the content of sulfur dioxides. The instrument is calibrated with certified reference materials.The percentage of total sulfur in the sample is calculated according to the sulfur dioxides content and the prior calibration.
5 Reagent and materials
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only distilled water or water of equivalent purity.
5.1 Potassium iodide.
5.2 Potassium bromide.
5.3 Glacial acetic acid.
8 Procedure
8.1 Preparation of test
8.1.1 Raise the temperature of the furnace to 1 150 °C. Measure the position and length of high temperature zone of (1 150 ± 10) °C and the position of preliminary decomposition zone of 500 °C in combustion tube using a calibrated pyrometer with Pt-Rh—Pt thermocouple.
8.1.2 Adjust the program controller so the combustion boat moves into the preliminary decomposition zone of 500 °C and then to the combustion zone of 1 150 °C automatically.
8.1.3 Pack the exit end of the combustion tube with the clear and dry glass wool (5.7). Pack the place of (80 to 100) mm from the exit end with (3 to 5) mm thickness of aluminosilicate wool (5.8). 8.1.4 Assemble tube resistance furnace (6.2) with a combustion tube (6.2), electrolytic cell (6.3), magnetic stirrer (6.3), coulomb integrator (6.4), the program controller (6.5), purified air stream supply system (6.6). The combustion tube, stopcock and electrolytic cell should be connected in glass to glass closely and seal them with the silicone rubber sleeves.
