Abstract:
Simple methods are described for the analysis of sulphate, sulphite and dithionate mixtures by potentiometric titration with lead perchlorate (and use of a lead ion-selective electrode). The error and precision are both about 2–5% for the sulphate concentration range 3 × 10?3 ?6 × 10?4M. The sulphur content in fuels derived from refuse was determined by potentiometric titration after bomb-combustion and the results compared favourably with those from the standard BaSO4 gravimetric method.
