The PAQUES Bio Systems’ core technology, marketed under the name THIOPAQ, consists of various high-rate biological processes for metal-sulfur-water systems, complemented with common solid/liquid and gas separation steps. Sulfur species are converted to sulfide, which is a valuable component as it can be used for metals reduction and precipitation. Selective recovery of valuable metals can be em...

The aim of this field study was to determine the concentrations and emissions of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in different types of pig buildings in Korea to allow objective comparison between pig housing types in Korea and other countries. Concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the pig buildings averaged 7.5ppm and 286.5ppb and ranged from 0.8 to 21.4ppm and from 45.8 to 1235ppb, re...

COLLINS, R. P. (University of Connecticut, Storrs), AND H. D. GAINES. Production of hydrogen sulfide by Streptomyces odorifer. Appl. Microbiol. 12:335-336. 1964.-By use of various trapping systems, as well as lead acetate papers, Streptomyces odorifer was shown to produce hydrogen sulfide. Other sulfur-containing compounds may be produced by S. odorifer, but the amounts obtained were too small ...

OBJECTIVE Heart failure (HF) is one of the most serious diseases worldwide. S-propargyl-cysteine (SPRC), a novel modulator of endogenous hydrogen sulfide, is proved to be able to protect against acute myocardial ischemia. In order to produce more stable and sustainable hydrogen sulfide, we used controlled release formulation of SPRC (CR-SPRC) to elucidate possible cardioprotective effects on HF...

with its well-known biological toxicity, the excessive concentrations of sulfide in tannery wastewaters may upset the biological treatment processes, thus leading to a substantial decrease in the efficiency of treatment plants. the presence of sulfide in wastewaters may dramatically interfere with microbial activities and consequently disturb the function of the system as a whole. in this study...

in the present study, the effects of four factors including initial sulfide concentration (mg l-1 ), agitation speed (rpm), amount of inoculums (%) and sodium concentration (mg l-1) on removal efficiency (%r) and yield of sulfate production by thioalkalivibrio versutus from synthetic spent caustic were investigated. for this purpose, experiments are designed by design of experiments (doe) and r...

The incidence of oral cancer is lower than that of other common cancers. Understanding the factors that contribute to the decreased incidence of oral cancer may be useful for decreasing the incidence of cancer overall. We focused on the effects of hydrogen sulfide, which is produced by oral bacteria. We report that hydrogen sulfide induced apoptosis in gingival cancer cells that overexpressed p...

Practices to reduce hydrogen sulfide emissions associated with livestock production apply to animal housing, manure storage areas, and land where manure is applied. This document provides an overview of practices for each situation, highlights their advantages and disadvantages, and allows producers to make informed choices after evaluating production and economic aspects of their operations.
