An Investigation on the Sulfur Determination by Using MgS-Based Solid Electrolyte

MgS and TiS₂ were made at lab and the MgS-TiS₂（2%） disks were sintered at high temperature. A sulfur sensor using the MgS-based solid electrolyte was prepared and the galvanic cell can be expressed by Mo |[S]Fe| MgS-TiS₂（2%） |Mo, MoS₂| Mo. The sulfur determination in liquid iron was carried out at 1375℃ without any protective atmosphere. The relation between the measured E and the chemical analysis [%S] can be shown as los[%S]=-0.3694-0.0077E（mV）（[%S], 0.003-0.134）. Also,the determination of the sulfur potential of the (u-Cu₂S system shows that the partial electronic conduction parameter Pe’ is 6×10^-4 Pa for the MgS-TiS₂（2%） solid electrolyte at 1375℃.Pe’and fs were introduced for the correction of the E-[%S] relation.
