Abstract
A procedure was developed for determining sulfur (>1.5 abs %) in sulfur-containing organic compounds. The procedure was based on the combustion of a sample portion in a flask filled with oxygen followed by the potentiometric titration of sulfate ions with barium nitrate in a water-acetone solution. In distinction from analogous procedures, halogens and metals contained in the analyzed compound did not interfere with the determination of sulfur. The error of determination was below 3 rel %.
