until reaction is complete. Ash overnight at 450 °C. in a muffle furnace. Dissolve the ash in 6 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid and sufficient water to give a final volume of 25 ml. Filter.Analytical Procedure. Make analyses in duplicate.Place a 3-ml. aliquot of sample or standard solution in each test tube, add 2 ml. of dipropvlene glycol reagent, and mix thoroughly, then, at once, add 5 ml. of barium chloride reagent and again mix thoroughly.Let mixture stand for 15 minutes to 1 hour and read transmittance at 720 µ, using reagent blank as reference sample. Determine concentration of sulfur from standard curve.If a smaller aliquot is used, enough zero sulfur standard should be added to make a volume with the aliquot of 3 ml.Reading the transmittance at about 410 mji increases sensitivity about twoor threefold.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
