This study investigated the effects of combined (mixed) application desulfurization gypsum and biochar on crop growth soil properties in saline-alkali soils coastal mudflats through indoor pot experiments eight experimental ameliorant treatments. Among them, CK was control newly reclaimed cropland area with no added ameliorator, treatment A applied alone, F while treatments B, C, D, E were set ...

Coal-fired power plants in the United States may have to reduce their mercury emissions by up to 90% by 2007 2009 due to proposed regulations that could affect up to 1,100 utility boilers. Air pollution control system components such as electrostatic precipitators, baghouses, NOx reduction catalysts, SO2 scrubbers, and their various configurations in utility applications significantly impact me...

The paper estimates the effect of SO2 pollution on infant mortality in Germany, 1985-2003. To avoid endogeneity problems, I exploit the natural experiment created by the mandated desulfurization at power plants and power plants' location and prevailing wind directions, which together determine treatment intensity for counties. Estimates translate into an elasticity of 0.07-0.13 and the observed...

Raney nickel catalyst alone removes sulfur in reasonable yield from organic sulfur compounds, such as thiols, thioethers, disulfides, hemithioacetals, hemithioketals, diketals, thioamides, thiolesters, thiophenes, thioazoles, sulfoxides, sulfones, isothiocyanates, thioureas, and also organoselenium and tellurium compounds. This desulfurization reaction, therefore, has been used for the solution...
