Involvement of Intermediate Sulfur Species in Biological Reduction of Elemental Sulfur under Acidic, Hydrothermal Conditions

Involvement of intermediate sulfur species in biological reduction of elemental sulfur under acidic, hydrothermal conditions.

The thermoacidophile and obligate elemental sulfur (S(8)(0))-reducing anaerobe Acidilobus sulfurireducens 18D70 does not associate with bulk solid-phase sulfur during S(8)(0)-dependent batch culture growth. Cyclic voltammetry indicated the production of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) as well as polysulfides after 1 day of batch growth of the organism at pH 3.0 and 81°C. The production of polysulfide ...

Catalysis of elemental sulfur nanoparticles on chromium(VI) reduction by sulfide under anaerobic conditions.

Chromate (CrVI) reduction by sulfide was conducted in anaerobic batch experimental systems. The molar ratio of the reduced CrVI to the oxidized S(-II) was 1:1.5 during the reaction, suggesting that the product of sulfide oxidation was elemental sulfur. Under the anaerobic condition, the reaction was pseudo first order initially with respect to CrVI, but the rate was dramatically accelerated at ...

Reduction of sulfur dioxide by carbon monoxide to elemental sulfur over composite oxide catalysts

The catalyst activity of fluorite-type oxide, such as ceria and zirconia, for the reduction of sulfur dioxide by carbon monoxide to elemental sulfur can be significantly promoted by active transition metals, such as copper. More than 95% elemental sulfur yield, corresponding to almost complete sulfur dioxide conversion, was obtained over a Cu-Ce-O oxide catalyst with a feed gas of stoichiometri...
