Hydrogen Sulfide and Sulfuric Acid Estimation Techniques SULFIDE GENERATION IN SEWERS

A Fatality Caused by Hydrogen Sulfide Produced From an Accidental Transfer of Sodium Hydrogen Sulfide Into a Tank Containing Dilute Sulfuric Acid

Cellulose Sulfuric Acid: As an Efficient Bio Polymer Based Catalyst for the Selective Oxidation of Sulfides and Thiols by Hydrogen Peroxide

Cellulose sulfuric acid as a bio-polymer based solid catalyst efficiently catalyzes the selectively oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and thiols to disulfides using hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant with good yields at room temperature. The developed method offers a number of advantages such as high selectivity, mild reaction conditions, simple operation, cleaner reaction profiles, low...

Hydrogen sulfide removal from biogas using chemical absorption technique in packed column reactors

The toxicity and corrosion potential of hydrogen sulfide in raw biogas underlines the need for biogas purification. Several techniques available for removal of hydrogen sulfide from biogas are out of the reach for common end users due to lack of knowledge, higher running costs, and insufficient operational skills. The present experimental study aims to propagate hydrogen sulfide removal techniq...

Use of 24 kHz ultrasound to improve sulfate precipitation from wastewater.

Elevated sulfate concentrations in industrial effluent can lead to a number of significant problems, the most serious of which is the corrosion of concrete sewers as a result of hydrogen sulfide induced biogenic sulfuric acid attack; hydrogen sulfide can also create odor nuisance problems. The most common treatment process for sulfate removal from wastewaters is to precipitate it as gypsum usin...

Antimicrobial Effects of Free Nitrous Acid on Desulfovibrio vulgaris: Implications for Sulfide-Induced Corrosion of Concrete.

Hydrogen sulfide produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in sewers causes odor problems and asset deterioration due to the sulfide-induced concrete corrosion. Free nitrous acid (FNA) was recently demonstrated as a promising antimicrobial agent to alleviate hydrogen sulfide production in sewers. However, details of the antimicrobial mechanisms of FNA are largely unknown. Here, we report the ...
