Abstract

Abstract Sulfur combined in a variety of nonvolatile organic compounds was oxidized to inorganic sulfate by a sodium peroxide-carbon fusion, and the sulfate ion was estimated by titration with standard barium chloride solution, using tetrahydroxyquinone as an internal indicator. No special apparatus was required, and 0.5- to 5-mg. quantities of combined sulfur were determined with speed and accuracy. The method should be especially useful for the routine analysis of materials like oil or rubber, with modification, if necessary, to remove interfering ions, and is apparently general for all types of sulfur-containing substances, including sulfonic acid derivatives.
