The invention relates to a method for measuring the content of
calcium sulfate in desulfurized
gypsum of a
coal-fired power
plant, which comprises the following steps: (1)
drying the desulfurized
gypsum in the sun,
grinding, sieving and
drying, adding
hydrogen peroxide, demineralized water and cation exchange resin, stirring to adjust the pH value, stirring, filtering with
filter paper, and fixing the volume to obtain a desulfurized
gypsum oxidation solution; (2) transferring the desulfurized gypsum oxidation solution, adding absolute ethyl
alcohol and an
alizarin red S indicator, uniformly mixing, titrating with a
barium chloride standard solution, slowly generating turbid substances in a yellow solution, shaking while titrating, determining the
titration end point when reddish color appears, and recording the volume of the consumed
standard solution; and (3) substituting the volume of the consumed
standard solution into a calculation formula, and calculating to obtain the content of
calcium sulfate. The method has the advantages of simple operation steps, good
repeatability of detection results, high accuracy, high efficiency, rapidness, low
pollution, low
drug consumption and low cost, meets the requirements of thermal power
plant detection laboratories, and has a wide application range.
