Technologies to collect and reuse sulfuric acid waste is attracting attention to reduce industrial waste in semiconductor manufacturing plants. Reusing sulfuric acid has a high economic value. By using sulfuric acid recycling equipment based on an atmospheric distillation method, we evaluated the recovery percentage of sulfuric acid, the concentration and quality of recycled sulfuric acid, and ...

Sulfuric acid is a common chemical that is widely used in industry and is found in consumer products (e.g., car batteries, cleaning products). In the United States sulfuric acid is ranked number one in terms of production volume. Sulfur trioxide is a precursor to the production of sulfuric acid. Oleum (fuming sulfuric acid) is sulfur trioxide absorbed in concentrated sulfuric acid. Sulfur triox...

A simple spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of phosphate in sugar cane juice, water and detergent samples. The method is based on the formation of phosphomolybdate with added molybdate followed by its reduction with sodium sulphide in aqueous sulfuric acid medium. The system obeys Lambert-Beer’s law at 715 nm in the concentration range 0.3-12.24 ppm. Molar absorptivity...

Loeffl We report laboratory studies on the 0.8 MeV proton irradiation of ices composed of sulfuric acid (H2SO4), sulfuric acid monohydrate (H2SO4 H2O), and sulfuric acid tetrahydrate (H2SO4 4H2O) between 10 and 180 K. Usin...

DNA sequence analysis of the modABCD operon of Escherichia coli revealed the presence of four open reading frames. The first gene, modA, codes for a 257-amino-acid periplasmic binding protein enunciated by the presence of a signal peptide-like sequence. The second gene (modB) encodes a 229-amino-acid protein with a potential membrane location, while the 352-amino-acid ModC protein (modC product...

A comparison of laboratory spectra with Galileo data indicates that hydrated sulfuric acid is present and is a major component of Europa's surface. In addition, this moon's visually dark surface material, which spatially correlates with the sulfuric acid concentration, is identified as radiolytically altered sulfur polymers. Radiolysis of the surface by magnetospheric plasma bombardment continu...

The modABC gene products constitute the molybdate-specific transport system in Escherichia coli. Another operon coding for two proteins which diverges from the modABCD operon has been identified. The first gene of this operon codes for a 262-amino-acid protein, designated ModE (28 kDa), and the second genes codes for a 490-amino-acid protein. ModF (54 kDa). The role of ModF has not yet been det...

The estimation of silica in animal organs by the gravimetric method is attended with considerable difficulty. Large amounts of tissue are necessary, and ashing by the method of Stolte (I), or even with the aid of an electric muffle furnace is a tedious process requiring several hours for completion. Analysis of the ash for silica in the conventional way also takes considerable time, so that an ...

Introduction: Geologic evidence indicates that the K/T mass extinction occurred on 65 million years ago is caused by an asteroid or comet impact [e. g., 1]. However, the actual mechanism that caused the mass extinction is still very controversial. The impact generated sulfuric oxides are thought to cause an environmental perturbation and it is one of the most plausible hypotheses of the K/T kil...
