The influence of different anions on the stability of mercury in absorbing solutions containing sulphite ions was investigated. The re-emission of gaseous mercury in the presence of fluoride, chloride, bromide, nitrate, carbonate and sulphate ions from the scrubbing solution was determined. Fluoride, chloride and bromide ions contribute to mercury stabilization, bromide being the most efficient...

The apparent molar compressibilities φK of aqueous 3-1 electrolyte solutions have been determined from ultrasound velocity and density measurements at 20 C. The values of φK have been extrapolated to infinite dilution, and the total hydration numbers Zo for investigated solutions were estimated from the data φK. A correlation between the hydration and the atomic number of elements of the Period...

Anaerobic microbial processes play particularly important roles in the biogeochemical functions of wetlands, affecting water quality, nutrient transport, and greenhouse gas fluxes. This study simultaneously examined nitrate and sulfate removal rates in sediments of five southwestern Michigan wetlands varying in their predominant water sources from ground water to precipitation. Rates were estim...

1. The binding of triethyltin to rat liver mitochondria is unaffected by the nature of the predominant anion in the incubation medium. 2. With chloride, bromide or iodide as the predominant anion, ATP synthesis linked to the oxidation of pyruvate or succinate and ATP hydrolysis stimulated by 2,4-dinitrophenol are much more sensitive to triethyltin than they are when nitrate or isethionate is th...

Here we report the chemoselective synthesis of several important, climate relevant isoprene nitrates using silver nitrate to mediate a 'halide for nitrate' substitution. Employing readily available starting materials, reagents and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons chemistry the synthesis of easily separable, synthetically versatile 'key building blocks' (E)- and (Z)-3-methyl-4-chlorobut-2-en-1-ol as well...
