GB/T 5195.4-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering sulfur in fluorspar by two methods — total sulfur burnt off in a tube furnace at 1200 °C with tungsten trioxide as flux, the sulfur dioxide absorbed in potassium iodide-starch and titrated with potassium iodate, and sulfide alone by iodometric titration, with the reagents, the sampling, the calculation and the precision, and the exclusion of samples carrying polysulfides, which the sulfide method cannot handle. Part 4 of the series. It replaces GB/T 5195.4-2006, under the China Iron and Steel Association. In force from 1 March 2026. Issued on 29 August 2025, it has been in force since 1 March 2026, replacing GB/T 5195.4-2006.

4 Method 1.Determination of total sulfur content by tubular furnace combustion-potassium iodate titration
4.1 Principle
The sample was mixed with tungsten trioxide and heated in a nitrogen stream at 1200°C±25°C to convert sulfur in the sample into sulfur dioxide, which was then converted into sulfur dioxide by acid.
Sulfur dioxide was absorbed by a potassium iodide-starch solution and titrated with a standard potassium iodate solution.
4.2 Reagents and Materials
Unless otherwise specified, only approved analytical grade reagents and distilled water of grade III or higher conforming to GB/T 6682 shall be used in the analysis.
It is water of comparable purity.
4.2.1 Flux, tungsten trioxide (sulfur content less than 0.001%), powder.
4.2.2 Carbon dioxide absorbent, particle size range. 0.5mm~2mm.
4.2.3 Anhydrous magnesium perchlorate, particle size range. 0.5mm~2mm.
