A modification of Pregl's micromethod for the determination of sulphur in organic compounds has been found to be satisfactory and convenient when applied on a macro scale to wool.The investigation of various methods of cleaning the samples shows that the best results are obtained when the wool wax is extracted with a solvent before washing with water. It is shown that a treatment with dilute hydrochloric acid is not necessary in preparing the sample.Three different procedures have been followed in determining the dry weight of the sample and the differences in the results are discussed. Results obtained by the new method are compared with those obtained by other recognized methods, and the agreement with the results of the Benedict-Denis-Barritt method is shown to be very good. |
