A previously reported procedure for the thermal decomposition of BaSO/sub 4/-V/sub 2/O/sub 5/-SiO/sub 2/ for the preparation of SO/sub 2/ in sulfur isotope ratio measurements has been studied in detail, certain portions of the procedure have been modified, and certain aspects of the reaction mechanism have been defined. It was determined that the /sup 18/O//sup 16/O ratio of SO/sub 2/ must be kept constant in order to apply a consistent correction factor for the effect of overlap of the ion currents due to /sup 32/S/sup 16/O/sup 18/O/sup +/ and /sup 34/S/sup 16/O/sub 2//sup +/ in the mass spectrometric determination of S isotope ratio. X-ray diffraction studies of the solid reaction products indicated that the V/sub 2/O/sub 5/ is essential in lowering the decomposition temperature of BaSO/sub 4/. In moderate amounts, SiO/sub 2/ seemed to aid in the smooth and complete evolution of the SO/sub 2/; however, excessive SiO/sub 2/ lowered the SO/sub 2/ yield and probably prevented melting. Excess V/sub 2/O/sub 5/ also lowered SO/sub 2/ yields, probably because it boiled off the reaction mixture. A ratio of SiO/sub 2//V/sub 2/O/sub 5/ of 1 was considered to be the best for complete, smooth evolution of SO/sub 2/. SO/sub 2/ producedmore » by this method is pure enough to be directly analyzed by mass spectrometry.« less
