The development of low cost, highly efficient, desulfurization technology with integrated sulfur recovery remains a principle barrier issue for integrated gasification combined cycle power generation plants. For coal-derived synthesis gases with low sulfur content, direct air injection can be utilized to selectively oxidize the hydrogen sulfide present into elemental sulfur via the reaction H2S...

introduction nowadays oilseed crops are considered as the second most important sources of energy in the diet. in this regard, cultivation of oilseed crops such as safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is important due to quality of oil seed and medicinal properties. different planting dates leads to adaptation of vegetative and reproductive growth of plant to temperature, day-length and various ...

The chemical degradation of alloy components in sulfur-containing environments is a major concern in oil and gas production. This paper discusses the effect of elemental sulfur and its simplest anion, sulfide, on the corrosion of Cr-Mo alloy steel at pH 2 and 5 during 10, 20 and 30 h immersion in two different solutions. 4130 Cr-Mo alloy steel is widely used as tubing and tubular components in ...

Monoclonal antibodies that recognize components of the low-sulfur keratin proteins extracted from Merino wool have been used to locate these components within the wool follicle. Immunoblotting procedures showed that all of the monoclonal antibodies bound more than one of the eight low-sulfur protein components, indicating that these proteins have antigenic determinants in common. Immunofluoresc...

Sulfur mustard or mustard gas has been widely used as a chemical weapon in the first world war and Iraq-Iran war. It causes acute and chronic complications in lungs, eyes and skin. In skin, mustard is toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic via alkylation of cellular proteins in enzymes, cell membranes, cytoplasm and particularly cell nucleus as well as in DNA components of the epidermis, dermis and...

Introduction: Sulfur is a cosmochemically important element with four stable isotopes. It is the only element besides oxygen where a mass independent fractionation (MIF) has been observed both in nature [1-4] and the laboratory [4,5]. Unlike oxygen, where more than one process can produce MIF, sulfur MIF is exclusively of photochemical origin. Recently we have demonstrated a mass independent su...

Thiophenes are the simplest aromatic sulfur-containing compounds and are stable and widespread in fossil fuels. Regulation of sulfur levels in fuels and emissions has become and continues to be ever more stringent as part of governments' efforts to address negative environmental impacts of sulfur dioxide. In turn, more effective removal methods are continually being sought. In a chemical sense,...

Four new sulfur-containing compounds, named clinamides A-C (1-3), and 2-cis-entadamide A (4), were isolated together with three known compounds from the bioactive ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Clinacanthus nutans. These secondary metabolites possess sulfur atoms and acrylamide functionalities. The structures of the isolated components were established by interpretation of their spectro...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the sulfur content of water and forage samples from a geographically diverse sample of beef cow-calf operations in the United States and to estimate frequency and distribution of premises where forage and water resources could result in consumption of hazardous amounts of sulfur by cattle. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SAMPLE POPULATION 709 forage samples from 678 beef ...
