An improved analytical method was developed for identifying sulfide compounds from aromatic fractions in Lungu atmospheric residue (LGAR). Sulfides aromatics were selectively oxidized into sulfoxides using tetrabutyl ammonium periodate (TBAP) and identified by positive-ion Electrospray Ionization Source (ESI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Results showe...

The water column in brackish and saline lakes hosts various forms of sulfur including sulfide (hydrosulfide), elemental, thiosulfate, sulfate sulfur. unequal distribution these reduced species indicates the presence two opposing processes - reduction oxidation newly formed hydrogen sulfide. scale varies among lakes, resulting differing proportions forms. bacterial ions is confirmed by a signifi...

The formation and fate of sulfide in a force main and a downstream-located gravity sewer were investigated in an extensive field study. Sulfide formation in the force main was significant. However, during 14 minutes of transport in the gravity sewer, the sulfide concentration decreased 30%, on average. An application of a conceptual sewer process model for simulating the formation and fate of s...

supergene oxidation-leaching and secondary sulfide enrichment in the sarcheshmeh porphyry cu-mo deposit generated a supergene profile to depths of 20 to 80 meters with oxide ore reserve about 22 mt. @1.08% cu and sulfides ore [email protected]% cu. geochemical distribution and behavior of trace metals associated with cu namely mo, au, and ag in the supergene profile of the sarcheshmeh were po...

Biogeochemistry is the study of how living systems in combination with abiotic reactions process and cycle mass and energy on local, regional, and global scales (Schlesinger, 1997). Understanding how these biogeochemical cycles function and respond to perturbations has become increasingly important, as anthropogenic impacts have significantly altered many of these cycles (Galloway and Cowling, ...

We report the first example of a mononuclear nonheme manganese(III)-hydroperoxo complex derived from protonation of an isolated manganese(III)-peroxo complex bearing an N-tetramethylated cyclam (TMC) ligand, [Mn(III)(TMC)(OOH)](2+). The Mn(III)-hydroperoxo intermediate is characterized with various spectroscopic methods as well as with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, showing the b...
