A number of commercial processes are available for removing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from natural gas, tail gas from the Claus Process (containing un-reactive sulfur compounds, particularly CS2 and COS), coke-oven gas, pyrolysis gas and solution tail gas from heavy oil production. These processes are often limited by economics and technology. In the economic range from about 0.1 to 15 tons sulfur...

Sulfur is an essential macronutrient for all living organisms. Plants are able to assimilate inorganic sulfur and incorporate it into organic compounds, while animals rely entirely on organic sources of sulfur. In the last decades sulfate availability in soils has become the major limiting factor for plant production in many countries due to significant reduction of anthropogenic sulfur emissio...

Methionine has an almost unique stimulatory effect on biosynthesis of cephalosporins (by Cephalosporium acremonium). No other sulfur-containing compound tested, except dl-methionine-dl-sulfoxide, replaced methionine. dl-Methionine stimulated the synthesis of cephalosporins when added after the growth phase. The utilization of inorganic sulfate was repressed by methionine. Experiments with l-met...

(tetrahydrofuran) at 703C for 16 h. The ester residue is then converted to a 6,6-dideuteriohexose residue, the O-methyl ethers of which are easily distinguishable by GC-MS of the derived alditol acetates. An alternative to acid hydrolysis that is applicable to most polysaccharides and glycoconjugates, including those containing acid-labile residues or glycosidic linkages resistant to hydrolysis...
