✦ Synopsis

Modes of distribution of sulphur have been determined in eleven lignite samples from major reserves in Turkey. Total sulphur contents have been found to vary 0.91%-10.32% on dry basis. The lignites contain relatively high amounts of organic sulphur. Distributions of sulphur have been determined in chars from the pyrolysis of lignites at 440°C. Reductions in combustible sulphur contents have been found to vary 15.7%-72.0%.

No correlation has been found between the extent of desulphurization by pyrolysis and the relative amounts of forms of sulphur in the parent Iignites.
