develop sulfur analysis method
developed a more accurate
method of analyzing soils
and other geological
materials for sulfur, an
element which in its acid
form can seriously inhibit
plant growth and damage
building foundations
The method, developed by
graduate assistant Philip
Snow and Delvm Fanning,
an agronomy professor,
centers on the use of a wafer
thin sample of sulfur
bearing material they
devised to obtain more
precise sulfur content
readings with an x-ray
spectograph
Although X-ray spectros
copy has been used in the
past, results lacked the
necessary precision in sulfur
analyses because sulfur (the
element) has many different
forms and each form gives
off a different X-ray
response. The wafer sample
contains only one form of

sulfur and thus circumvents
this problem
The need for more ac
curate methods of analyzing
sulfur content has become
cinticai in order to evaluate
the acid-forming potential of
sulfur-bearing materials
such as those found in strip
mine and tidal marsh
reclamation sites as well as
in acid rainfalls.
Acid ram results when
sulfur and nitrogen oxides
from electric power plants,
smelters and automobiles
are chemically changed into
acids in the atmosphere.
Acid rains adversely affect
the productivity of soils;
erode the protective waxes
that cover plant leaves;
change water quality in
lakes and streams and have
adverse effects on buildings
and other structures.
In order to make the
wafer, a sulfur-bearing
sample is digested in

oxidizing acids that convert
all of the sulfur in the sample
into a single form a sulfate
so that it will produce an
accurate spectrographic
reading. Copper is also
added to prevent the sulfur
from becomeing gaseous
and to make the sample
uniform enough to provide a
good analysis
The sulfur residue from
this digestive process is
mixed with powered
cellulose, which serves as a
binder holding the substance
together so that it can be
more easily formed into a
pellet The mixture is then
freeze-dried, crushed and
mixed again with a mortar
and pestle and finally
transferred to a die where it

is pressed into a wafer the
size of a quarter.
If kept in a dry place the
wafer is virtually in
destructible. It may be used
over and over again and for
the determination of other
elements besides sulfur
The two researchers feel
that the method should
enhance the ability of
scientists to screen
materials from landfills,
mine reclamtion sites and
other sources
It will enable them to
determine how much sulfur
is present and whether it will
create a problem through
the formation of acids and
the release of heavy metals
in the soil that would
damage plant life
