  • Ralf Steudel , Gabriele Holdt and Regine Nagorka

Abstract

Aqueous sodium polysulfide of composition in the range Na2S2.0 to Na2S4.6 undergoes autoxidation by either air or pure oxygen at temperatures of between 23 and 40 °C according to the equation

[xxx]

Iodometric determination, vibrational spectra and ion-pair chromatography showed that neither sulfate, sulfite nor polythionates are formed and that the sulfur precipitated consists of S8 (≥ 99%).
