چکیده
A separação do isótopo S foi obtida pela reação de troca isotópica en tre solução de ácido sulfuroso e ânions bissulfito adsorvidos em resinas aniônicas tipo amônio quaternário (Dowex 1X8 e Dowex 2X8, malha 100-200) acondicionadas em seis colunas de resina de troca aniônica. Cada coluna de resina possuia 130 cm de comprimento com diâmetro de 2,2 cm. As colunas foram conectadas em série du rante o deslocamento da banda de bissulfito. Para a experimentação, a banda de bissulfito fixada na resina aniônica, inicialmente na forma OH, foi eluída subsequentemente com 0,2, 0,3, 0,4 ou 0,6 mol L HCl em solução. Ácido clorídrico em solução foi introduzido juntamente com nitrogênio sob pressão de 245 kPa, para impedir du rante o deslocamento, a liberação de gases e a oxidação da banda de bissulfito. Os experimentos utilizando a resina Dowex 1X8 mostraram que os melhores resultados em termos de máximo enriquecimento (18,66 % em átomos de S) e da massa to tal acumulada de S (161,7 mg, excesso) foram obtidos eluindo a banda de bisssulfito por 50 m com HCl 0,2 e 0,3 mol L, respectivamente. A substituição da parte empobrecida da banda com bissulfito nat u ral foi efetuada a cada deslocamento de 10 m.

Diffusive gradients in thin films measurement of sulfur stable isotope variations in labile soil sulfate
A diffusive gradient in thin films (DGT) technique, based on a strongly basic anion exchange resin (Amberlite IRA-400), was successfully tested for 34S/32S analysis in labile soil sulfate. Separation of matrix elements (Na, K, and Ca) that potentially cause non-spectral interferences in 34S/32S analysis by MC ICP-MS (multi-collector inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry) during sampling ...
متن کاملTetrathionate and Elemental Sulfur Shape the Isotope Composition of Sulfate in Acid Mine Drainage
Sulfur compounds in intermediate valence states, for example elemental sulfur, thiosulfate, and tetrathionate, are important players in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle. However, key understanding about the pathways of oxidation involving mixed-valance state sulfur species is still missing. Here we report the sulfur and oxygen isotope fractionation effects during the oxidation of tetrathionate (...
متن کاملStable sulfur isotope fractionation by the green bacterium Chlorobaculum parvum during photolithoautotrophic growth on sulfide.
Growing cultures of the green obligate photolithotroph, Chlorobaculum parvum DSM 263T (formerly Chlorobium vibrioforme forma specialis thiosulfatophilum NCIB 8327), oxidized sulfide quantitatively to elemental sulfur, with no sulfate formation. In the early stages of growth and sulfide oxidation, the sulfur product became significantly enriched with 34S, with a maximum delta34S above +5 per tho...
متن کامل34S/32S fractionation in sulfur cycles catalyzed by anaerobic bacteria.
Stable isotopic distributions in the sulfur cycle were studied with pure and mixed cultures of the anaerobic bacteria, Chlorobium vibrioforme and Desulfovibrio vulgaris. D. vulgaris and C. vibrioforme can catalyze three reactions constituting a complete anaerobic sulfur cycle: reduction of sulfate to sulfide (D. vulgaris), oxidation of sulfide to elemental sulfur (C. vibrioforme), and oxidati...
متن کاملSulfur isotope fractionation during bacterial sulfate reduction in organic-rich sediments.
Isotope fractionation during sulfate reduction by natural populations of sulfate-reducing bacteria was investigated in the cyanobacterial microbial mats of Solar Lake, Sinai and the sediments of Logten Lagoon sulfuretum, Denmark. Fractionation was measured at different sediment depths, sulfate concentrations, and incubation temperatures. Rates of sulfate reduction varied between 0.1 and 37 micr...
