The method is applicable to water soluble sulphate, in the product, but also to sulphates in a principal solution prepared in an acid medium. The principle consists in dissolution of a test portion and separation of the insoluble residue. Precipitation of the sulphate ions by barium chloride in a boiling acid medium. Filtration, washing and ignition of the precipitate. Weighing of the residue.
