TECHNICAL NOTE The contribution of sulphate to total sulphur in a range of natural water samples
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comparison between two analytical techniques commonly used for the determination of sulphur concentrations in natural water samples is reported. Significant differences in the sulphur values obtained using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and ion chromatography are described. The contribution of a sulphur fraction (presumed to be organic S) not detected by ion chromatography is identified. This contribution varies considerably between individual samples and is highly correlated to the concentration of dissolved organic carbon. The results are explained in terms of an organic S component which is of environmental importance.

متن کاملBacterial Proliferation Reduces Sulphur Toxicity in Stabilization Ponds: Safer Water Resources by Photosynthesis
Background: Studies suggest that sulfur may react with plants or monocellular organisms, such as fungi, to produce toxic agents. It has been theorized that sulfur enters cells and affects their respiration. This study reports on a phototroph development that leads to the diminution and/or production of sulfur and release of hydrogen sulfide from public ponds. Methods: This study was conducted ...
