Solid mineral fuels -- Determination of total sulfur -- Eschka method
The reference method specified is based on igniting a test portion (of hard coal, brown coal, lignite, or coke) in intimate contact with Eschka mixture in an oxidizing atmosphere, removal of combustible matter and conversion of the sulfur to sulfate, extraction of sulfate with hydrochloric acid solution and gravimetric determination by precipitation with barium chloride.

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. Esch 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.
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.
International Standard ISO 334 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISOFC 27, Solid mineral fuels, Sub-Committee SC 5, Methods of
analysis.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 334:1975),

Introduction
An alternative reference method to that specified in this International
Standard is given in ISO 351:1984, Solid mineral fuels - Determination
of total Sulfur - High tempera ture combus tion me thod.
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 demon-
strate 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 9).
