Abstract Difficulties in the determination of sulfur in wood and pulp samples by the conventional method of Grote and Krekeler have been overcome by applying a wet combustion technique, using perchloric and nitric acids. The sulfur is reduced to hydrogen sulfide by boiling with a reduction mixture, and determined iodometrically. The method gives quantitative yields for pure organic compounds, and is suitable for a great variety of samples with sulfur contents from 0.01 to 100 per cent. Sample weights can be varied from 9 mg. to 5 grams.
