4 Method 1.Infrared Absorption Method

4.1 Principle

The sample was heated and burned in an oxygen stream in a high-frequency induction furnace. The generated sulfur dioxide was carried by the oxygen to the measuring chamber of an infrared analyzer.

Sulfur dioxide absorbs infrared energy at a specific wavelength, and the absorbed energy is directly proportional to the concentration of sulfur dioxide. The concentration can be measured by observing the change in energy received by the detector. Sulfur content.

4.2 Reagents and Materials

4.2.1 Magnesium perchlorate, anhydrous, granular.
