The discovery of sulfur mass-independent fractionation (S-MIF) in ancient sedimentary rocks [1] has created the opportunity for quantitative constraints on the composition of the early atmosphere. Laboratory experiments have shown that S-MIF occurs during SO2 photodissociation at a variety of UV wavelengths [2, 3]. The source of the S-MIF in experiments at wavelengths ~ 200 nm is self-shielding...

In the present work, a sequential injection system with spectrophotometric detection was developed for the determination of free and total sulphur dioxide in wines. It was based on the formation of a coloured product from the reaction among SO2, formaldehyde and pararosaniline. A gas diffusion unit (GDU) was incorporated into the manifold to prevent the wine matrix interference in the spectroph...

This present study suggests a method to calculate the SO2 flow rate from a source area to receptor areas on a regional scale using Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) SO2 products, surface in situ SO2 data, and the hybrid single particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory (HYSPLIT) model. The method was implemented to calculate the SO2 flow rate from continental Asia to northeast Asia and the North...

Chicken eggshell (ES) is a waste from the food industry with high calcium content produced in substantial quantity very limited recycling. In this study, eco-friendly sorbents raw ES and calcined were tested for sulfur dioxide (SO2) hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal. The was SO2 H2S adsorption at different particle size, without membrane layer. Raw then subjected to calcination temperatures (800 °...

The objective of this research was to determine the effects of elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) on field-grown soybean. Soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr. cv. "Essex) were grown a full-season in open-top field chambers exposed to either ambient (350 #l L -j) or elevated CO2 (500 #l L -j) levels under two levels of SO2 (0.00 and 0.12 #l L-t). Enriched CO2, wit...

The CO2 capture performance of four zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), ZIF-10, ZIF-71, ZIF-68 and ZIF-69, was investigated in the presence of SO2 using molecular simulations. Our results show that SO2 is preferentially adsorbed over CO2. However, it also shows a cooperative effect on CO2 adsorption. In ZIF-10 and ZIF-71, the SO2 presence was found to have almost no effect on CO2 adsorption...

The objective of this study was to generate data that allow for estimation of the validity of oxygen saturation (SO2) values in superficial cortical capillaries as calculated by a microreflectometric system (EMPHO II). Capillary SO2 and tissue oxygen pressure (PtO2) were measured simultaneously in the cortex of n = 13 Wistar rats under normocapnic (PaCO2 = 36 mmHg) arterial normoxia (PaO2 = 92 ...

The heterogeneous oxidation of SO2 has been the subject of intense scrutiny in atmospheric chemistry because of the adverse effects of sulfate particles. Although it has been found that the soot particles with a graphene-like structure play an important role in the oxidation of SO2, little is known about the atomic-level mechanism involved. Here, we studied the oxidation of SO2 on oxygen-functi...

Sulfur dioxide (SO2), a gaseous signaling molecule in animal cells, has recently been found to play a physiological role in plants. Here we studied the role of SO2 in gibberellic acid (GA3)-induced programmed cell death (PCD) in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) aleurone layers. The application of the SO2 donor (NaHSO3/Na2SO3, 1:3 M/M) effectively alleviated PCD in barley aleurone layers in a dose-de...
