FRACTIONATION OF SULFUR ISOTOPES DURING OXIDATION

The fractionation process of sulfur isotopes during oxidation and the distribution of sulfur isotopes in nature using sulfur-35 as a tracer were examined. Zinc sulfide labeled with S/sup 35/ was prepared from hydrogen sulfide and zinc acetate, and about 1/10 of the total was oxidized to the sulfur. The sulfids was filtered off and the sulfate precipitated with barium sulfate. The process was repeated until all the sulfide was consumed, producing about 10 samples of barium sulfat, the radioactivities of which were measured by tbe infinite thickness method. (J.R.D.)
