RESUMO

Sulphur in soil may be found under two basic forms; Inorganic-S and Organic-S. Sulphur under inorganic form (Sulphate-S) may be available to plant, however organic sulphur is responsible for 95 % of total sulphur in the most of soils. Aiming quantifies the available sulphur in soil, ammonium acetate plus acetic acid extractor solution was used. Efficiency of Organic-S oxidation to form Inorganic-S for Total-S determination in soil samples was evaluated applying oxidation reaction by wet and dried methods. A flow injection analysis (FIA) automatic system exploring multi-commutation and binary sample techniques was development for determination of Total-S and available Sulphate-S. Results of Total-S and available Sulphate were in agreement with analytical procedures evaluated, automatic and conventional systems. Use of labeled material (K234SO4) aimed to validate the method for Total-S and isotopic S determination in soil samples. Obtained results in experiments showed that the conversion process of Organic-S to Inorganic-S using alkaline oxidation reaction by dried method was appropriated. Based on results obtained in S isotopic determination (% in atoms of 34S) by applied experiment using material enriched on 34S(k2SO4), was possible calculate that the analytical error was about 1.1 %. This result was considered low considering quantity of involved steps in process and complexity of analytical process
