Iron ores -- Determination of sulfur content -- Part 3: Combustion/infrared method

ISO 4689-3:2004 specifies a combustion/infrared method, using a high-frequency induction furnace, for the determination of the sulfur content of iron ores.
This method is applicable to sulfur contents between 0,002 % (mass fraction) and 0,25 % (mass fraction) in natural iron ores, iron ore concentrates and agglomerates, including sinter products. The method is not applicable to iron ores containing more than 1,0 % (mass fraction) of combined water. The apparatus, of which the metal filter is equipped with a heating device, can be applied to iron ores containing less than 3,0 % (mass fraction) of combined water.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The 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-governmental, 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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility 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.
ISO 4689-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 102, Iron ore and direct reduced iron, Subcommittee
SC 2, Chemical analysis.
This first edition, in part cancels and replaces ISO 4690:1986, which has been technically revised.
ISO 4689 consists of the following parts, under the general title Iron ores — Determination of sulfur content:

Introduction
This part of ISO 4689 is a new procedure. ISO 4689-2 was originally published as ISO 4690:1986, Iron ores —
Determination of sulfur content — Combustion method. Under a policy of rationalization of the numbering
system used in ISO/TC 102, it has been decided to re-designate ISO 4690:1986 as ISO 4689-2. It was further
decided to introduce a combustion/infrared method, numbered ISO 4689-3, i.e. this part of ISO 4689.
When next revised, ISO 4689:1986, Iron ores — Determination of sulfur content — Barium sulfate gravimetric
method, will be re-designated 4689-1.

determination of the sulfur content of iron ores.
0,002 % 0,25 %
This method is applicable to sulfur contents between (mass fraction) and (mass fraction) in
natural iron ores, iron ore concentrates and agglomerates, including sinter products. The method is not
1,0 %
applicable to iron ores containing more than (mass fraction) of combined water. The apparatus, of which
the metal filter is equipped with a heating device, can be applied to iron ores containing less than 3,0 % (mass
fraction) of combined water.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document
(including any amendments) applies.

ISO 3082:2000, Iron ores — Sampling and sample preparation procedures
ISO 7764:1985, Iron ores — Preparation of predried test samples for chemical analysis
3 Principle
The sample is mixed with a flux containing iron, tin and tungsten and heated in a high-frequency induction
furnace, using oxygen as a supporting fuel and carrier gas.
The evolved sulfur dioxide is carried by oxygen into the cell of an infrared detector, where the absorption scale
is read.
