Analytical methods for the admixture have, in the past, been qualitative. Colorimetric techniques have been developed for the quantitative analysis of sulfur and chlorate which use readily available materials and equipment. The techniques have been validated by examining pyrotechnic mixtures with known proportions of sulfur and chlorate.
