Introduction
The objective of this document is to provide a reference method for determining the total sulfur content
in coal and coke with Eschka method.
Instrumental methods 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 than, those quoted for the reference method (see Clause 10).

4 Principle
A test portion is ignited in intimate contact with the Eschka mixture in an oxidizing atmosphere at
800 °C to remove combustible matter and to convert the sulfur to sulfate. This is then extracted with
hydrochloric acid solution and determined gravimetrically by precipitation with barium chloride.
5 Reagents
WARNING — Care should be exercised when handling the reagents, many of which are toxic and
corrosive.
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only
distilled water or water of equivalent purity.
