Abstract

Sulphited cans are cut up and placed in HCl. The liberated H2S is distilled over into cadmium chloride solution which is then transferred to acidified iodine solution. The iodine oxidizes the sulphide to sulphur and the excess iodine is titrated with standard thiosulphate. The cadmium chloride must be kept below 20 degree C to prevent its decomposition and aid adsorption of the H2S. Photodecomposition of the cadmium sulphite and acclusion of excess iodine by the sulphur must be avoided. This method showed that stains on electroplated and hot dipped tin plate were of similar sulphur content, although staining of the former was more intense.
