Sample preparation procedure for the determination of sulphur and trace metals in oil products by the ICP with a minitorch using emulsions

A quick sample preparation method was used for the determination of sulphur and trace metals in oil and oily products by the ICP with a minitorch. Stable aqueous emulsions of oils and oil products were made by using two kinds of emulsifiers (one with low sulphur content, the other sulfonated). Aqueous standard solutions can be used for the preparation of calibration solutions. The contents of S, Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Ni and Pb in aqueous emulsions were determined and the results were in good agreement with the composition of oil standard solutions used for control analysis procedure.     

Physico-Chemistry of the Limestone Sulphation Process

Aspects of the mechanism of the overall reaction between CaCO₃/CaO and SO₂/SO₃ under oxidizing conditions are discussed. The limestone and lime sulphation processes were carried out in a thermobalance under conditions relevant to atmospheric fluidized bed combustion. Sulphated samples, prepared in the form of cross-section particles, were examined in a scanning electron microscope by energy-dispersive X-ray and back-scattered electron imaging. Photomicrographs are presented. The reaction proceeded from the outer surface of the particles and along the pores. Surface textural changes during the reaction were considered. The layer of products was identified as controlling both the rate and extent of limestone/lime sulphation. In the products, two sulphur-bearing solids (CaSO₄ and CaS) were identified. The presence of CaS, which may cause difficulties in practice, is attributed to CaSO₃ disproportionation. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Pyrite Genesis During Early Diagenesis in Yellow Sea and East China Sea

The content and isotopic compositions of different sulphur species in pore-water and solid phases have been examined on five sediment cores taken from muddy sediment region in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. Relationships among these data have been investigated with the combination of morphology of mineral pyrite and organic matter so as to role out the diagenetic behaviour of sulphur species at the early stage of diagenesis in modern marine sediment and the origin of pyrite formation.     

用XPS研究我国一些煤中有机硫的存在形态

本文用电子能谱（xps）方法研究了我国九个不同牌号煤中有机硫的存在形态，并得到这些煤中各种不同形态硫的结合能数据。根据Lindberg等人所做模型化合物结果，给出了这些煤中硫元素结构能的化学归属。各种煤中硫的存在形态是不同的，有硫醇、硫醚、双硫醚、硫杂环、硫桥和取代基上的硫等。这一研究结果为今后研究煤的分子结构及脱硫方法提供了重要的科学依据。

Beobachtung des Stickstoffstoffwechsels bei Leguminosen mittels 15N

Es war Ziel dieser Arbeit, zu ermitteln, welchen Einfluß höhere Dosen von Stickstoffdüngemitteln in Form von KNO₃ auf die Menge des in der Pflanze fixierten Luftstickstoffs haben. Als Versuchspflanze wählten wir Pferdebohnen (Vicia faba, Chlumetzer Abart) wegen ihrer vielseitigen Verwendung in der Landwirtschaft und ihrer besonderen experimentellen Eignung.     

Präparation polykristalliner LiF-Speicherphosphore für die Thermolumineszenzdosimetrie

Zur Ausbildung eines intensiven Glowmaximums der Thermolumineszenz bei 200°C wurden eine Vielzahl von Kationen auf ihre Aktivatorwirkung gegenüber LiF untersucht. Als günstige Aktivatoren erwiesen sich bei der Herstellung des LiF mitgefällte Mg-, Ca- und Ti-Spuren. Die Eigenscaften der präparierten Phosphore werden mit den Analysenergebnissen verglichen und diskutiert.

Rapid and easy quantification of elemental sulphur in aqueous samples from biological reactors: the turbidimetric method revisited

Recent developments in wastewater treatment have led to a renewed interest to obtain elemental sulphur (S°) as a by-product from bioreactors. However, practical studies are limited by the gap of adequate analytical techniques for its determination. This paper provides a statistical study and matrix effect evaluation of an adapted spectrophotometric method for routine S° analyses in aqueous samples, based on a methodology previously described by Hart (1961). Four complex matrices were tested: domestic sewage and effluent samples from three different bioreactors. Tested performance criteria included linearity, matrix effect, limit of detection and quantification and S° recovery. Results were linear (R² = 0.99994) in the studied range (5 to 100 mg S° L^?1) and no matrix effect was observed. The accuracy was based on recovery values that varied from 100% to 106%. The colloidal S° separation and extraction protocol was also considered suitable for aqueous samples, reaching more than 99.0% of S° recovery.     

Sulphur electric properties at superhigh pressure around the polymerization temperatures

Abstract

The electrical resistivity temperature dependence of S has been studied in the diamond anvil cell (DAC) of the “rounded cone-plane” type. The pressure is about 50 GPa. The experimental data analysis shows the polymerization between 380–410 K. The electrical resistivity temperature dependence is distorted by a number of maxima, some of them being shifted along the temperature axis towards the lower temperature and disappear with increasing transport current.
