Abstract
An automatic nephelometric method for the determination of low concentrations of sulfate is described. It permits the determination of concentrations as low as 0.1 micro gram/cu cm. The sulfate ions are precipitated by means of barium perchlorate. Fifty samples can be analyzed per hour. This method was developed for the determination of sulfur dioxide in air after absorption in diluted hydrogen peroxide. It is also applicable to the determination of sulfate amounts in rainwater. The equipment used is the Technicon Auto Analyzer connected with a two-monochromator spectrofluorimeter. This can be used in sampling for air and water pollution.
