Abstract
THE only method so far known for the detection of small amounts of elementary sulphur is unsatisfactory: it consists, in principle, in isolation of the free sulphur of the material under test by sublimation or extraction, followed by examination of the crystal form and of the chemical reactions. Fractions of a milligram of elementary sulphur cannot be detected by this method, and it also fails with larger amounts if the sample contains organic substances which, like sulphur, sublime and have similar solubility.
