The present work is aimed at studying the adsorption capacity of powdered Fuller’s earth for the removal of ferri/ferrous impurities found in commercial grade sodium sulphide. The latter is not suitable for the manufacture of pharmaceutical grade chemicals and dye chemicals. The author has carried out experiments taking different dosage of powdered Fuller’s earth as an adsorbent in the aqueous ...

Cotton hanks were dyed with three different sulphur dyes using non-sulphide reducing agents such as glucose, fructose, invert sugar and molasses. The alkalies employed for reduction were sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide. Invert sugar as a reducing agent and sodium carbonate as alkali proved to be better as this combination gave results comparable to those obtained with the conventional sod...

This work deals with the evaluation of diphenyl sulphide as a corrosion inhibitor for zinc in 0.5N HCl and 0.5N H2SO4 by conventional weight loss and gasometric methods. Results indicate that diphenyl sulphide exhibited high inhibition efficiencies in both the acids but performed better in 0.5N H2SO4 than in 0.5N HCl. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increase in the inhibito...

An investigation of the different steps in the method of Weil-Malherbe & Bone (1949), as modified by Taylor (1953), has led to an altered procedure for citric acid determination, with increased sensitivity and accuracy. The main modifications involved are the use of (i) a higher concentration of sulphuric acid during the formation of pentabromoacetone, and (ii) a thiourea-borax-sodium sulphide ...

Kudz Ze Kayah (KZK) and Wolverine are volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits hosted by Early Mississippian meta-rhyolites, marine metasedimentary rocks and intermediate to mafc metatuffs of the Yukon Tanana Terrane in the Simpson Range, southern Yukon (Figure I). This project aims to pinpoint, within central northern B.C., stratigraphy favorable to the formation of Early Mississippian volcanoge...

In a comparative study of 4 bivalve species we show that the apparent widely different tolerances in survival time observed in a closed system filled with N2-gassed seawater is mainly due to the experimental conditions. Both a high dose of cadmium and the antibiotic chloramphenicol increase survival time 2to 4-fold. Without precautions for bacterial growth, the survival time of the most toleran...

Authotrophic denitrification with sulphide using nitrate (R1) and nitrite (R2) as electron acceptor were investigated at bench scale. Different SRT (5 and 20 d) have been tested in R1 while R2 was operated at SRT = 13 d. The results indicated that the process allows to achieve complete sulphide removal in all testes conditions. Tested sulphide loads were estimated form the H2S produced in a pil...
