In this study, a sulfur-based autotrophic denitrifying filter (SADF) was developed for the purpose of removing nitrate from simulated recirculating mariculture wastewater. Results showed that over 90% could be effectively eliminated by utilizing thiosulfate as electron donor, with molar ratio thiosulfate-S to 2:1 or greater. Additional batch tests confirmed suitable sulfur source removal even w...

in this paper the influence of two different sizes of silica particles (micro-silica and nano-silica) was studied on mechanical properties of sulfur and sulfur composite. to improve the structural properties, sulfur was plasticized using dicyclopentadiene (dcpd) and methyl styrene (mst). plasticized sulfur composite was prepared by melt blending of plasticized sulfur and silica particles. the i...

In this article, a series of effective catalysts based on betaine and sulfuric or phosphomolybdic acids was obtained. These compositions were characterized by various physicochemical methods tested in the oxidation sulfur- nitrogenous-containing compounds H2O2. An increase amount heteropolyacid (HPA) leads to non-linear change acidity, degree removal sulfur-containing correlates with concentrat...

tabas mines in iran have coal sources which are suitable for use in metallurgy industries as coking coal. but the high sulfur content of this coal imposes severe limitations on its utilization as the sulfur oxide gases evolved from the combustion of high sulfur coals result in acid rains and corrosion of equipments. in this work, attempts have been made to reduce sulfur from high sulfur coal of...

The widespread use of diesel fuel for transportation, industry, and electricity generation causes several environmental issues via an increase in the amount sulfur compound emissions. Commercial must be free sulfur-containing compounds since they can cause problems. Considering currently available processes to eliminate compounds, oxidative desulfurization (ODS) is one effective means this purp...

spherical mesoporous silica mcm-41 was synthesized for adsorptive removal of sulfur compounds from fossil fuels using 1mm solution of dibenzothiophene (dbt) in dodecane as model oil. the prepared silica adsorbent has been characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis as well as small angle x-ray scattering (saxs), and transmission and scanning electron microscopy (sem) methods. resul...

Spherical mesoporous silica MCM-41 was synthesized for adsorptive removal of sulfur compounds from fossil fuels using 1mM solution of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in dodecane as model oil. The prepared silica adsorbent has been characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis as well as Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), and transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) methods. R...

The first enantioselective syntheses of sulfur flavan-3-ol analogues 1-8 have been accomplished, whereby the oxygen atom of the pyran ring has been replaced by a sulfur atom. The key steps were: (a) Pd(0) catalyzed introduction of -S t-butyl group, (b) Sharpless enantioselective dihydroxylation of the alkene, (c) acid catalyzed ring closure to produce the thiopyran ring, and (d) removal of benz...

The treatment of sulfur odorous compounds in mixture, Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and ethanethiol (EtSH), by biofiltration was examined. A significant effort was focused on the impact of nutrients supply, without forgetting the effect of other parameters such as the pH, on the process performances. Removal efficiencies of three biofilters packed with pine bark and composte...
