Abstract: A review on the recent advances of researches on 3 determination methods, i.e. high temperature combustion methods (including combustion-infrared absorption method, combustion-iodometric method, combustion-coulometric titration method, combustion-neutralization titration method, combustion-conduction method and so on), wet digestion methods (including barium sulfate gravimetric method, barium sulfate turbidimetry method, ICP-AES, ICP-MS, AAS,IC and so on) and direct solid sample analysis methods (including Spark-AES, GD-AES, XRFS and so on) for sulfur in inorganic solid samples was presented (117 ref. cited).
