Sulfur in coal is one of the domestic air pollution sources, it brings great harm to the environment. The domestic coal pollution situation and the measuring methods and control measure of sulfur in coal are introduced, that is the high temperature combustion coulomb sulfur analyzer, high temperature combustion infrared sulfur analyzer and high temperature combustion neutralization method sulfur measurement instrument are used to measure sulfur in coal, and the desulfurization of sulfur in coal is used to control the content of sulfurin coal. It is pointed out that throuh measuring the content of sulfur in coal by total sulfur analyzer and desulfurization of coal, the content of sulfur in coal is well controlled to reduce the sulfur air pollution.
