H2S stock solutions

The PHSS was calibrated with step-wise additions of H2S stock while positioned in the respirometer chamber containing 3 ml stirred (500 rpm) 20 mM Tris-buffered zero-grade argon ( 0.0003 kPa O2) equilibrated analytical grade purified water (Solution 2000, Jasper, GA), at the pH and temperature of the subsequent experiment.

FIGURE 8.5 Multiple-sensor respirometry. Representative calibration traces of PNOS (thin line, left ordinate) and PHSS (thick line, right ordinate) operating simultaneously in PBS, pH 7.3 at 37°C, with 50pM DTPA in a closed chamber respirometer. After NO additions were made, the chamber solution was replaced with fresh buffer, to which Na2S stock solutions were then injected in a stepwise manner. The stable POS signal shown at 2 pM 02 demonstrates that the POS does not respond to NO or H2S. Injections of anoxic buffered NO and H2S stocks are shown with concentrations at arrows, as are additions of Lucina pectinata ferric hemoglobin I (metHb I), which stoichiometrically binds to H2S (after [41]). 

Cyanide and sulfide ions interfere with the test for halides. If such ions are present, they must be removed. To accomplish this, acidify 2 mL of the stock solution prepared above with dilute nitric acid and boil it for about 2 minutes. This will drive off any HCN or H2S that is formed. When the solution cools, add a few drops of a 5% silver nitrate solution. A volumitwus precipitate indicates a halide. A faint turbidity does not mean a positive test. Silver chloride is white. Silver bromide is off-white. Silver iodide is yellow. Silver chloride will readily dissolve in concentrated ammonium hydroxide, whereas silver bromide is only slightly soluble. 

C. Tests for Halogen, (a) General Test.—Acidify 2 cc. of the stock solution w ith dilute IIXO3 and boil w ell to expel any H2S or HCN if present. Add AgNOs solution. A precipitate denotes the presence of halogens. Also apply the Beilstein copper-oxide-wire test to the original unknow n. 

Tests for Bromine and Iodine in the Presence of Each Other and the Other Halogens.—Acidify 2 cc. of the stock solution with H2SO4 and boil gently to drive off H2S. Add not more than I cc. of carbon tetrachloride and finally a drop of a solution of freshly prepared chlorine water. Shake after the addition of each drop. If iodine is present, the carbon tetrachloride will be colored purple. Continued additions of chlorine w ater will cause the iodine color to disappear, due to the formation of the iodate, and if bromine is present the carbon tetrachloride will become colored... 

When a micellar stock solution (i.e., its concentration is 10 times the CMC) is injected into a more dilute solution in the calorimetric cell, the constant value of partial molal enthalpy h2 in the premicellar region is due to estruction of micelles and dilution of unmiceUized species (Fig. 6.30a) the constant I12 value in the postmicellar region is ascribed to dilution of micelles. 

FIGURE 8.10 H2S consumption in rat aorta smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). Accumulated data from several experiments showing RASMC H2S consumption rates (filled circles and squares) as a function of H2S concentration, compared to H2S oxidation rates in solution without cells (open circles and squares). Heat-inactivated RASMC H2S consumption rates (open plus symbols) were equivalent to background rates without cells. Inset Representative PHSS traces showing stepwise additions of Na2S stock, at arrows, in the presence (thin line) and absence (thick line) of RASMCs (after [41]). 

SbH3 (g). The data of Berthelot and Petit,1 who measured the heat of solution of SbH3 (g) in bromine water, yield for SbH3 (g), Qf— —79.5. Stock and Wrede1 measured directly the heat of the explosive decomposition of gaseous SbH3 into solid Sb and gaseous H2, and their data yield Qf= —34.0. 

Virk and co-workers (24b,c) and King and Stock (35b) have reported rates for H2-transfer to anthracene and phenanthrene in solution containing 1,2- and 1,4-dihydronaphthalene and tetralin. Comparisons between reported rate constants and estimated rate constants for bimolecular disproportionation are given in Table VI. In agreement with Stock, this data does not provide evidence for a concerted H2-transfer mechanism. Our calculations indicate that molecular disproportionation may be a major hydrogenation mechanism in these reaction systems. 

The major limitation in sulphur recovery was due to the fact that the recovered stream consisted of 65% of CO2, and 35% of H2S. If richer with H2S, then recovery should theoretically increase. The specific recommendation made for this issue were as follows (i) to inject the acid gas after liquefaction in deep geological formation into natural gas reservoir, (ii) to separate the CO2 from the feed so that it is rich in H2S while CO2 is being injected to the gas reservoir, (hi) to separate the CO2 from the feed before entering the recovery imit in order to enhance the recovery. A viable solution to the C02 issue in the case study would be to utihze it as a feed stock for methanol production in another facility. 

Sodium borohydride hydrolysis in aqueous solution can be represented in terms of the overall stoichiometric equation (Eq. 11.1) where NaBFLj reacts with 4 molecules of water to produce 4 molecules of H2 [33]. Although the reaction of NaBH4 hydrolysis has been studied since the discovery of sodium borohydride by Stock in 1933 [34], the theoretical, calculated energy of the reaction is often cited in an incompatible manner to the application, and real experimental data are very scarce [35-38]. The thermodynamic features of the catalyzed hydrolysis in fact are not yet well understood, as the evolved energy depends on the physical state and the hydration degrees of borohydride and metaborate and on-side reactions.
