At present, the processing of refractory gold–arsenic sulphide concentrates is becoming more relevant due to depletion rich crude ore reserves. In process nitric acid leaching arsenic minerals, solutions are formed containing 20–30 g/L (III). Since market demand for compounds limited, such traditionally converted into poorly soluble compounds. This paper describes investigation precipitating fr...

The purpose of the present investigation was to test the association between the BANA test (Perioscan, Oral-B), and oral malodor parameters. The subject population consisted of 52 Israeli adults, 43 of whom complained of oral malodor. Oral malodor measurements consisted of peak and steady-state volatile sulphide measurement by a portable sulphide monitor (Interscan Corp., model 1170), as well a...

BACKGROUND Butyrate oxidation within the colonocyte is selectively inhibited by hydrogen sulphide, reproducing the metabolic lesion observed in active ulcerative colitis. AIMS To study generation of hydrogen sulphide by sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) and the effects of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) in patients with ulcerative colitis in order to identify a role of this noxious agent in path...

Auger analysis was performed using a high resolution scanning auger electron microscope and auger electron spectroscopy. Elemental auger contour maps for corroded sulphide inclusions in stainless steel were presented. It was found that the copper enriched-manganese sulphide inclusions were uniformly corroded, which might be due to CU2S deposition on the surface of corroding inclusions. In contr...

Iron is a limiting nutrient in the marine biogeochemical cycle, and hydrothermal processes at mid-ocean ridges are well-known as one of its sources to water column. However, major portion iron precipitated near source plays an essential role oceanic elemental cycling. Here, we carried out detailed study on geochemical characteristics Fe, using sequential chemical extraction protocol, short sedi...

This paper presents a biological method for controlling odor problems caused by H2S originating from sewer networks under anaerobic conditions. The proposed method is based on the continuous addition of nitrate which oxidizes dissolved sulphide according to an autotrophic biological procedure and inhibits further sulphide production by sulphate reducing bacteria, until complete denitrification....

a general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. various oxidation and combined processes such as uv/h2o2/hypochlorites, fenton and electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/uv/ h2o2, coagulation or ele...

Two Latin square design experiments investigated the relationship between hydrogen sulphide concentration in the rumen headspace gas of dairy cows and the early stages of protein degradation in the rumen. In Expt 1, three protein sources differing in rumen N (nitrogen) degradability (maize gluten feed (MGF); sunflower meal (SFM); and soyabean meal (SBM)) were used, whereas in Expt 2 four differ...

BACKGROUND Sulindac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug which induces regression of colonic polyps in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. Animal and in vitro studies have shown that both the sulphide metabolite of sulindac, which is able to inhibit cyclo-oxygenase, and the sulphone metabolite, which lacks this ability, are able to inhibit the growth of colonic carcinoma cells. T...
