FAST DETERMINATION OF THE SULFUR SPECIES IN SOLID PHASE SYSTEMS BY A TPO-IR METHOD

Qualitative and quantitative assessment of total sulfur and sulfur species in solid phase is necessarily important for development of effective desulfurization methods, reduction of environmental pollution, and prevention of catalyst poisoned. In this work, TPO-IR (Temperature Programmed Oxidation- Infrared) method was used for rapid determination of sulfur species in solid minerals. The high purity of Ag2S was used as the calibration materials at the fixed temperature of 1100 °C, and the TPO experimental runs were performed on the solid minerals of phosphorite and coal. The results show that...
