Determination of Sulfur in Barite by Sodium Carbonate-Zinc Oxide Semi-molten Decomposition and Barium Sulfate Gravimetric Method
-
摘要:
传统的碳酸钠-氧化锌半熔-硫酸钡重量法测定重晶石中的硫, 具有坩埚腐蚀小、干扰相对较少等优点, 但不能完全破坏重晶石矿物的晶格结构, 造成了硫的测定结果很不稳定。本文通过考察重晶石半熔分解过程中实验条件对硫的转化率的影响, 发现重晶石分解转化不彻底主要是由于样品粒度和熔剂粒度过粗, 故将传统的半熔法的实验条件改进为:采用瓷坩埚熔融, 重晶石样品粒度小于0.10 mm, 碳酸钠-氧化锌熔剂粒度小于0.18 mm, 半熔温度790℃, 半熔时间60 min。在此实验条件下重晶石可全部转化为BaCO3与SO42-定量分离, 因此不用使用昂贵的铂金坩埚, 也避免了强氧化性熔剂对坩埚的损毁, 减少了熔融时可能引入的干扰物质。本方法精密度(RSD)小于1.0%, 回收率大于99.5%, 适用于分析含重晶石的各类复杂地质样品。

Abstract:The traditional sodium carbonate-zinc oxide semi fusion method causes little corrosion of the crucible and effects small interferences, but the analytical results of sulfur are unstable due to an incomplete break of the lattice structure of barite. The decomposition conditions during semi fusion that affect the conversion of sulfur are investigated and reported in this paper. Results show that the incomplete decomposition of barite was due to the grain sizes of samples and fluxes being too big. The modified method is that samples with sizes of less than 0.1 mm mixed with sodium carbonate-zinc oxide flux with sizes of less than 0.18 mm are decomposed at 790℃ for 60 min. Under these conditions, barite can be converted to BaCO3 and isolated with SO42- quantitatively through semi molten decomposition in a porcelain crucible, which avoids the use of the platinum crucible, damage of crucibles by strong oxidizing agents, and reduces the interference substances during melting. The RSD for this method was less than 1% and the recovery was more than 99.5%. This method can be applied to determine sulfur content of complex geological samples containing barite.
