The concentrations of lipid-solvent soluble sulfur in rat brain and liver have been reported by Gaitonde and Richter (2). The extraction procedure used by these authors resulted in lipid extracts containing nonlipid contaminants and proteolipid-proteins. Folch et al. (3, 4) have described methods for removal of these materials from lipid extracts. In the experiments to be reported, these method...

This paper describes a laboratory method for treatment of used engine oil FENIX SUPERIOR SAE 15W-40 with intention to decrease of sulfur and selected metal content at acceptable level. FENIX SUPERIOR SAE 15W-40, produced by manufacturer Joint Stock Company FAM Krusevac, is used for lubrication of the most modern four-stroke diesel and gas engines of passenger and commercial vehicles, engine con...

A previously described porous organic polymer (NU-POP-1) was evaluated against four representative chemical threats: ammonia, cyanogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, and octane. Ammonia, cyanogen chloride, and sulfur dioxide are examples of toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) spanning the range from highly basic to strong-acid forming substances, while octane is used to assess physical adsorption capa...

Although sulfur is an essential element for marine primary production and critical for climate processes, little is known about the oceanic pool of nonvolatile dissolved organic sulfur (DOS). We present a basin-scale distribution of solid-phase extractable DOS in the East Atlantic Ocean and the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. Although molar DOS versus dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) rat...

Although gasoline blending streams exhibit widely varying sulfur concentrations, significant quantities of low-sulfur motor gasoline cannot be manufactured by reallocation of existing components without substantial sacrifices in the useful properties of the remaining fuels having normal sulfur levels. To meet the anticipated demand for low-sulfur unleaded gasoline which may be required for cata...

While many cattle feeding areas in the United States have long dealt with high sulfate water, increased feeding of ethanol coproducts such as distillers grains with solubles to beef cattle has led to a corresponding increase in dietary sulfur. As a result, sulfur metabolism in the ruminant has been the focus of many research studies over the past 10 yr, and advances in our knowledge have been m...

BACKGROUND Pyrite is one of the most abundant and widespread of the sulfide minerals with a central role in biogeochemical cycles of iron and sulfur. Due to its diverse roles in the natural and anthropogenic sulfur cycle, pyrite has been extensively studied in various experimental investigations of the kinetics of its dissolution and oxidation, the isotopic fractionations associated with these ...

Two combined bioelectrochemical and sulfur autotrophic denitrification (CBSAD) processes for the treatment of nitrate contaminated drinking water were studied in this article, the main difference between the two processes was whether the limestone was packed in the reactor. In these processes, the sulfur denitrification was carried out in the lower part (Sulfur Part) of the reactors while the b...
