Topic: Sulphide


In the News (Sun 26 May 13)

  
  Hydrogen Sulphide 1
The hydrogen sulphide boundary is usually deepest in summer and shallowest in spring.
Garkavaya (unpublished data) recently recorded hydrogen sulphide concentrations of 1.5 to 2.25 ml/l in the lower water column on the north-western shelf at depths of 10-30 m.
Yet hydrogen sulphide on the shelf is still transitory, occurring primarily in summer and autumn, as intense water column mixing during winter and spring reoxygenates the bottom waters.

 NASD: MANURE GAS -- HYDROGEN SULPHIDE
Hydrogen sulphide is produced continuously in all un-aerated manure storage systems, including shallow barn gutters, underground storage tanks or outside manure holding ponds or lagoons.
Because hydrogen sulphide is heavier than air, the gas has a tendency to accumulate on the surface of the manure.
During agitation, hydrogen sulphide is released from the manure in the same manner as carbon dioxide is liberated after shaking a carbonated soft drink.

 ERA Technology | Impact of gaseous sulphides on electronic reliability - ERA Technology Ltd
Hydrogen sulphide is well known as the classic "bad egg gas" of the school chemical laboratory, with its pungent, unpleasant and easily recognised smell, even at very low concentrations.
Sulphide contact: Devices were used in steel plant, adjacent to blast furnaces that are certain to raise ambient levels of hydrogen sulphide, although no local measurements of its concentration were carried out.
Sulphide contact: Contacts in an underground train system were not sealed against the environment and had operated for several years since the last service.

 DHI User Conference 1999, Sulfide production for Mouse Trap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Sulphide build-up in gravity sewers takes place mainly in large, slow flowing, pipes with insufficient re-aeration at relatively-high temperatures and in pressure mains, when the residence time of the wastewater is more than 1-2 hours.
Sulphide production resulting from a sulphate reduction in gravity sewers takes place mainly in large, slow flowing, pipes with insufficient re-aeration at relatively-high temperatures and in pressure mains when the residence time for the wastewater is more than 1-2 hours (the total residence time for the wastewater being under anaerobic conditions).
Sulphide production is of interest because an enhanced sulphide production can result in a number of problems, these being noxious odours, health risk, corrosion of concrete and metal constructions in the sewer network and inhibition of sewage treatment processes /2/.

 The Hindu : Sci Tech / Agriculture : Sulphide injury in rice
The roots of freshly pulled out plants are fl in colour having a deposition of ferrous sulphide, whereas roots of the healthy plants are covered with a uniform and smooth light brown coating of ferric oxides and hydroxides.
Accumulation of chemically reduced ferrous sulphide also imparts a fl tinge to the soil and emanation of the accumulated gas as small air bubbles can be seen when the soil is tilled.
For severe sulphide injury either the flooded soil needs to be drained and allowed to dry for 7-10 days or allowed for intensive drying for 1-2 days to form hairline cracks which will provide oxygen supply to the roots.

 Chris Deuchar's Hydrogen Sulphide Page
Hydrogen Sulphide is a respiratory inhibitor, ie it affects the part of the brain which controls the lungs, and is similar in action to hydrogen cyanide - used in American gas chambers.
Hydrogen Sulphide is however highly reactive and will combine rapidly with other elements to form eg, Sulphur Dioxide which has been heavily researched in recent years in connection with environmental problems such as acid rain and increasing respiratory problems.
The emission of Hydrogen Sulphide from car exhausts is (arguably) worse than some of the emissions the converters were designed to eradicate and the intention of this project was therefore to obtain absolute evidence of this problem against a background of increasing converter use.

Septic wastewater, characterised by the appearance of sulphide, is known to cause problems in sewage systems (corrosion and odour), at treatment plants (e.g.
Sulphide formation in sewers may be prevented by increasing the redox potential, either by oxygen/air injection (aerobic conditions) or dosage of nitrate (anoxic conditions).
The results show that a sulphide concentration of 0.5 mg/l had a considerable negative effect on the nitrification activity.

 Hydrogen Sulphide 2
This undoubtedly led to increases in hydrogen sulphide in the bottom waters, although measurements of hydrogen sulphide are much less abundant than measurements of oxygen levels.
On the north-western shelf hydrogen sulphide concentrations may decline as measures are implemented to reduce the nutrient loading.
In the deep Black Sea the hydrogen sulphide layer appears relatively stable, but large changes in fresh water inflow or physical mixing processes may produce changes in the hydrogen sulphide boundary, which may have a negative impact on the ecosystem as a whole (Aubrey et al., 1996 b).

Sulphide levels are usually reduced to between 0.5 and 10ppm.
When sulphides occur they can cause damage to concrete structures, they can lead to septic condition and create “fl primary tanks” and are also the primary cause of odour problems.
Measurement of sulphides in water has also sometimes been carried out using selective ion electrodes, while this method is sensitive, such system require frequent zeroing and calibration adjustment.

 Hydrogen Sulphide
Hydrogen sulphide is not merely a smelly nuisance from stink bombs or rotten eggs.
Hydrogen Sulphide is a potent chemical asphyxiant, combining with haemoglobin and with cytochromes and thus rapidly stopping oxygen from access to cellular metabolism (just like gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide).
Hydrogen Sulphide is very foul smelling but very quickly paralyses the sense of smell, and can go on to overcome the victim and eventually cause death.

 Discovery of Germanium
I realized only later that germanium really was present in the sodium sulphide solution but precipitated as the sulphide only after adding much acid, because it is considerably soluble in acid-free liquids and thus, once precipitated, could not be washed with water except with great losses or even complete disappearance (by dissolution).
Leaving the sulphur behind, germanium sulphide is dissolved, and when the solution is then strongly acidified by hydrochloric acid, a white, voluminous precipitate is obtained that cannot be mistaken for sulphur.
By adding the hydrochloric acid slowly in drops, first antimony sulphide, then arsenious sulphide are separated; after filtration, a solution is obtained from which snow-white germanium sulphide precipitates upon further, ample addition of hydrochloric acid.

The sulphide concentration is the limiting factor in the release of hydrogen sulphide to the sewer walls so that corrosion may occur.
The released hydrogen sulphide may cause corrosion to the wall of the concrete pipe.
The hydrogen sulphide is oxidized in the aerobic layer on the wall of the pipe to form sulphuric acid which may corrode the pipe as it trickles down the wall of the pipe.

Professor Liza Bornman, a biochemist from the Rand Afrikaans University, said hydrogen sulphide was a very toxic gas which coexisted with sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere and could lead to death after high-level exposure.
Bornman said hydrogen sulphide was released into the air as a result of a number of industrial processes, including those related to the production of petroleum.
"I should think hydrogen sulphide is a health risk and I am very upset with the council for allowing this pollution to persist," she said.

 Globeinvestor.com: Conquest Resources Limited: Sulphide Zone With Gold Values Discovered At Alexander Project, Red Lake
The Sulphide Zone and gold mineralization are believed to be similar to the sulphide zones, which were the host of Goldcorp'soriginal Red Lake Mine from 1945 until the discovery of the High Grade Zone at depth in 1995.
The Sulphide Zone comprises massive and disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite and minor arsenopyrite which occurs in an altered mafic volcanic sequence along the footwall contact of a mafic intrusive body.
Holes CR-04-28 and 29 did not intersect the projected extension of the Sulphide Zone to the southeast, suggesting that it may be offset by faulting or may occur at a deeper level.
