X‐ray fluorescence analysis of samples with elemental sulphur. Effect of sulphur sublimation

Abstract: The precautions to be taken during x‐ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of samples containing elemental sulphur were investigated. Elemental sulphur under vacuum (vacuum required for S Kα analysis) undergoes sublimation. As a result, the sulphur intensity signal diminishes in direct relation to the time during which the sample has been under vacuum. The work power accelerates the sublimation of sulphur. A method for obtaining real analytical values is proposed. The risk to the XRF spectrometer constituted due to … Show more

“…The XRF data of sulfur was in form of SO3 which equaled to S content of 35.36, 12, and 1.172% following the trend of P-Spowder > P-SCS2 > P-Scolloid. The weight percentages (wt.%) were relatively lower than theoretically predicted probably this is due to sulfur sublimation during analysis [25]. From the EDX spectrum randomly scanned on 25 points, the relative sulfur content was found the lowest in P-Scolloid which was only 2.55 wt.% compared to P-Spowder and P-SCS2 that were 20.75 and 25.21 wt.%, respectively.…”

“…Another problem is oxidation of pyrite sulfur to native sulfur during storage, which is then volatile under the electron beam in a vacuum (Chinchon et al 1988). It is possible that JB2, JG2, and JG3 suffer from this problem based on much lower X-ray intensities than would be expected based on the certificate values for sulfur.…”

“…In the literature there is a wide variety of instrumental methods suggested for the determination of total sulfur content and sulfur in its various chemical forms [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. Some of these methods can be used for sulfur speciation.…”
