Traditionally, the H2S partial pressure (PH2S) of gas/hydrocarbon phase has been used as primary sour severity metric for material qualification and selection under ANSI/AMPP (NACE) MR0175/ISO 15156 guidelines. While PH2S is appropriate characterizing low total systems, strict, or ideal, Henry’s Law approach leads to over estimation dissolved concentration (CH2S) high-pressure, high-temperature...

Hydrogen sulfide accumulated under a cover film in a landfill site was treated for 7 months by a full-scale biofilter packed with polyurethane foam cubes. Sampling ports were set along the biofilter bed to investigate H2S removal and microbial characteristics in the biofilter. The H2S was removed effectively by the biofilter, and over 90% removal efficiency was achieved in steady state. Average...

Hydrogen sulfide-releasing oleanolic acid (HS-OA) is an emerging novel class of compounds and consists of an oleanolic acid (OA) and a H2S-releasing moiety. Although it exhibits improved anti-inflammatory activity, its potency in human cancers has not been understood yet. In this study, we examined the effects of HS-OA on the growth of liver cancer cell lines and the underlying mechanisms.HS-OA...

The aim of the present study was to establish the optimum inclusion level of laminarin derived from Laminaria digitata on selected microbial populations, intestinal fermentation, cytokine and mucin gene expression in the porcine ileum and colon. A total of twenty-one pigs (mean body weight 17·9 kg) were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments: T1 - basal (control) diet, T2 and T3 -...

Posthemorrhagic shock mesenteric lymph (PHSML) is a key factor in multiple organ injury following hemorrhagic shock. We investigated the role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in PHSML drainage in alleviating acute kidney injury (AKI) by administering D,L-propargylglycine (PPG) and sodium hydrosulfide hydrate (NaHS) to 12 specific pathogen-free male Wistar rats with PHSML drainage. A hemorrhagic shock ...

A new sorbent has been developed by grafting Hexamethylenetetramine on a mesoporous molecular sieve (SBA-15) by wet impregnation method. This sorbent (Hexamine/SBA-15) has been characterized using N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) at low angles (2θ°) and FT-IR. To investigate the H2S removal capacity of this adsorbent from CH4-containing gas mixtures, the breakthrough tests have been pe...

Xanthomonas sp. strain DY44, capable of degrading H2S, was isolated from dimethyl disulfide-acclimated peat. This bacterium removed H2S either as a single gas or in the presence of the sulfur-containing compounds methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide. The maximum specific H2S removal rate, obtained in the late stationary phase, was 3.92 mmol g of dry cells-1 h-1 (6.7 x 10(-16) ...

The reaction of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) with peroxynitrite (a key mediator in numerous pathological states) was studied in vitro and in different cellular models. The results show that H2S can scavenge peroxynitrite with a corresponding second order rate constant of 3.3 ± 0.4 × 10³ M⁻¹·s⁻¹ at 23°C (8 ± 2 × 10³ M⁻¹·s⁻¹ at 37°C). Activation parameters for the reaction (ΔH‡, ΔS‡ and ΔV‡) revealed t...

Thermochemical equilibrium calculations of gas abundances and condensation cloud formation are used to model the atmospheric chemistry of Gliese 229B. The calculations, which are analogous to our prior modeling of atmospheric chemistry of the Jovian planets in our solar system, predict the abundances of gases which are potentially observable by Earth-based and Earth-orbital telescopes. The calc...

Purpose Among the current discourses around social media risk management (SMRM) is whether institutions perceive (SM) as more of an opportunity to be embraced and regulated, or a avoided mitigated, how this reflected in their policies institutional stance reflects regulation SM use practices. There currently no scholarly literature that addresses these for memory sector where has proliferated. ...
