The
11、work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-gover
12、nmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in
13、the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directivesAttention is drawn to the possibili
14、ty that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of pat

16、 edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 334:1992), of which it constitutes a minor revision.iv ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS ISO 334:2013ISO 334:2013(E)IntroductionAn alternative reference method to that specified in this International Standard is given in ISO 351:1996.Instrumental me
17、thods for a more rapid determination of total sulfur are now available. If such a method is to be used, it is important to demonstrate that the method is free from bias, when compared to this reference method, and will give levels of repeatability and reproducibility which are the same as, or better
18、 than, those quoted for the reference method (see Clause 9). ISO 2013 All rights reserved vBS ISO 334:2013BS ISO 334:2013Solid mineral fuels Determination of total sulfur Eschka method1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a reference method for determining the total sulfur content of hard coa

23、ulfate. This is then extracted with hydrochloric acid solution and determined gravimetrically by precipitation with barium chloride.4 ReagentsWARNING Care should be exercised when handling the reagents, many of which are toxic and corrosive.During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reag

31、nce with ISO 13909-4 or ISO 5069-2, as appropriate. Expose the sample, in a thin layer, for the minimum time required for the moisture content to reach approximate equilibrium with the laboratory atmosphere (this is particularly important for brown coals and lignites).Before commencing the determina
32、tion, thoroughly mix the test sample for at least 1 min, preferably by mechanical means.If the results are to be calculated other than on an “air-dried” basis (see Clause 8), then, after weighing the test portion (see 7.1), determine the moisture content using a further portion of the test sample by
33、 the method described in ISO 11722, ISO 687, or ISO 5068-1, as appropriate.7 Procedure7.1 Test portion7.1.1 For coalTake a test portion of the mass given in Table 1 (for the expected total sulfur content), weighing to the nearest 0,1 mg.Table 1 Test portion for coalExpected total sulphur content % (
34、m/m)Mass of test portion g101,00,50,257.1.2 For cokeTake a test portion of 1 g, weighing to the nearest 0,1 mg.7.2 Charging the crucibleCover the bottom of the crucible (5.4) uniformly with 0,5 g of the Eschka mixture (4.1), weighed to the nearest 0,1 mg. Mix the test portion intimately with 2,5 g o
35、f the Eschka mixture, weighed to the nearest 0,1 mg, in a suitable vessel. Transfer the mixture to the 25 ml crucible. Level the contents by tapping the crucible gently on the bench and cover the contents uniformly with 1,0 g of the Eschka mixture, weighed to the nearest 0,1 mg.The entire 4 g of the
36、 Eschka mixture should be weighed out and the 0,5 g and 1 g portions, required for the bottom and top layers, should be extracted from this. For this purpose, it is convenient to calibrate a small glass tube for each bath of the Eschka mixture to deliver 0,5 g and 1 g without weighing. The bottom la
37、yer of the Eschka mixture below the test portion mixture reduces attack on the porcelain surface so that the extraction of suIfate with hot water is complete even when the surface deteriorates. ISO 2013 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 334:2013ISO 334:2013(E)7.3 Ignition7.3.1 For coalPlace the charged cr
38、ucible (and any others up to the limit of the muffle furnace capacity) in the cold muffle furnace (5.3) and raise the temperature to 800 C 25 C in about 1 h, maintaining this temperature for at least a further 1,5 h. Withdraw the crucible (or crucibles) and allow to cool.NOTE The cracking of porcela
39、in crucibles can be prevented if they are slowly cooled by insertion in supports of light porous firebrick on removal from the muffle furnace.7.3.2 For cokePlace the charged crucible (or crucibles) on the cold insulating plate (5.5) and insert into the muffle furnace (5.3) at a temperature of 800 C
40、25 C, maintaining this temperature for at least a further 1,5 h. Withdraw the crucible (or crucibles) and allow to cool. See Note in 7.3.1.7.4 Recovering the residueTransfer the ignited mixture from the crucible to a 400 ml beaker containing 25 ml to 30 ml of water. If unburnt particles are present,
41、 the determination shall be stopped and the test repeated. Wash the crucible thoroughly with about 50 ml of hot water and add the washings to the contents of the beaker.7.5 ExtractionPlace a watch glass on the beaker and then, while tilting the watch glass, carefully add enough hydrochloric acid (4.
42、2) to dissolve the solid matter (17 ml will normally be required), warming the contents of the beaker to effect solution. Boil for 5 min to expel carbon dioxide and filter, collecting the filtrate in a 400 ml conical beaker.NOTE A medium-textured, doubly acid-washed filter paper or a filter-paper pa
43、d is recommended for speed of filtration.To prepare the filter-paper pad, shake doubly acid-washed filter-paper clippings, in pieces with areas of approximately 1 cm2, with water in a bottle until the paper is thoroughly disintegrated. Place a porcelain filter cone of 25 mm in a 75 mm funnel, close
44、the stem of the funnel with a finger, and add water until the cone is immersed and the funnel stem is full. Shake, onto the cone, sufficient paper pulp to form a pad 5 mm thick, and level it with a flat-ended glass rod. Allow the excess water to drain away by removing the finger from the stem and as
45、 drainage ceases, lightly tamp the pad around the edges with the glass rod. A final wash with water renders the filter ready for use.Wash the filter with five 20 ml portions of hot water.Add two or three drops of the methyl red indicator solution (4.5) to the combined filtrate and washings, and then
46、 cautiously add the ammonia solution (4.6) until the colour of the indicator changes and a trace of precipitate is formed. Add enough hydrochloric acid (4.2) to just redissolve the precipitate and then add 1 ml in excess.7.6 Precipitation of barium sulfateAfter extraction, dilute the solution, if ne
47、cessary, to approximately 200 ml and cover the beaker containing the solution with a watch glass. Heat the covered beaker until the solution boils and then reduce the heating slightly until ebullition of the solution ceases. Then add 10 ml of the cold barium chloride solution (4.4) from a pipette wi
48、th a delivery time of approximately 20 s so that the barium chloride solution falls into the centre of the hot solution while it is being agitated. Keep the solution just below boiling point for 30 min.4 ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS ISO 334:2013ISO 334:2013(E)Filter the solution using one of the f
49、ollowing techniques.a) By gravity through an ashless, close-textured, doubly acid-washed filter paper of diameter 100 mm to 125 mm. Carefully fold the filter paper and fit it into a fluted, long-stemmed 60 funnel so that the stem remains full of liquid during the filtration.b) By gravity through a filter-paper pad prepared from ashless, doubly acid-washed filter paper (see Note in 7.5).c) By suction through a pad of filtration mineral fibre in a Gooch crucible (5.6).
