Industrial effluents contain sulfur compounds, with their burnt, pungent quality, and fishy or ruinous-smelling nitrogen compounds. Humans are veiy sensitive to these odors hydrogen sulfide has an extremely low recognition threshold of0.00047ppm (vol.) (Cain, 1978). 

Sulfur compounds with divalent sulfur functionalities are much more prone to dioxirane oxidation on account of their higher nucleophilicity compared to the above-presented oxygen-type nucleophiles. Examples of this type of dioxirane oxidation abound in the literature. Such a case is the oxidation of thiols, which may be quite complex and afford a complex mixture of oxidation products, e.g. sulfinic acids, sulfonic acids, disulfides, thiosulfonates and aldehydes , and is, therefore, hardly useful in synthesis. Nevertheless, the oxidation of some 9i/-purine-6-thiols in the presence of an amine nucleophile produces n >( -nucleoside analogs in useful yields (equation 19). This reaction also displays the general chemoselectivity trend that divalent sulfur functionalities are more reactive than trivalent sp -hybridized nitrogen compounds P. 

Further examples of the functionalization of sulfur compounds with iodine(III)-nitrogen ylides include copper-catalyzed imidations of phenyl benzyl sulfide with [(sulfonylimino)iodo]benzenes possessing imidazole and pyridine rings in the sulfonyl moiety [34], and uncatalyzed tosylimidations of diaminothiocarboxylate inner salts 26 (Scheme 14) with Phi = NTs to give 27 [35]. 

The high capital investment cost of the Asahi process is due to the necessity for large absorbers, evaporators, crystallizers, dryers, rotary kiln crackers and screw decanter separators. The major operating and maintenance costs are electricity, fuel oil, steam and chemicals such as soda ash, EDTA and limestone. The requirement for consumption of large amounts of utilities is associated with the operation principle and design of the Asahi process. According to the economic evaluation, equipment required for N0X and SO2 absorption (such as packed-bed absorbers) accounts for 20% of total direct capital investment for treatment of dithionate ion (such as evaporator, crystallizer, dryer, and cracker) it accounts for about 40% and for treatment of nitrogen-sulfur compounds (such as screw decanter and cracker) it accounts for only 2%.

Sulfur Structure of organic sulfur compounds with coordination number 3 is similar to that of previously described analogous compounds of nitrogen and phosphorus. Sulfur compounds are, however, much more stable and do not exhibit propensity toward easy inversion. This class of compounds includes, among others, sulfoxides, sulfonium salts, sulfinic acids, and esters (Figure 2.32). 

Thousands of compounds of the actinide elements have been prepared, and the properties of some of the important binary compounds are summarized in Table 8 (13,17,18,22). The binary compounds with carbon, boron, nitrogen, siUcon, and sulfur are not included these are of interest, however, because of their stabiUty at high temperatures. A large number of ternary compounds, including numerous oxyhaUdes, and more compHcated compounds have been synthesized and characterized. These include many intermediate (nonstoichiometric) oxides, and besides the nitrates, sulfates, peroxides, and carbonates, compounds such as phosphates, arsenates, cyanides, cyanates, thiocyanates, selenocyanates, sulfites, selenates, selenites, teUurates, tellurites, selenides, and teUurides. 

In Group 15 (V), nitrogen compounds readily form molecular compounds with BF. Phosphoms compounds also form adducts with BF. Inorganic or organic compounds containing oxygen form many adducts with boron trifluoride, whereas sulfur and selenium have been reported to form only a few (41—43). 

Iodine forms compounds with all the elements except sulfur, selenium, and the noble gases. It reacts only indirectly with carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and some noble metals such as platinum. 

A procedure to measure both types of nitrogen oxide compounds at the same time involves development of a pink color by mixing FeSO with sulfuric acid, followed by measurement or comparison of color intensity. This general type of procedure and the possible alternatives ate discussed in References 148—150. 

A flow diagram for the system is shown in Figure 5. Feed gas is dried, and ammonia and sulfur compounds are removed to prevent the irreversible buildup of insoluble salts in the system. Water and soHds formed by trace ammonia and sulfur compounds are removed in the solvent maintenance section (96). The pretreated carbon monoxide feed gas enters the absorber where it is selectively absorbed by a countercurrent flow of solvent to form a carbon monoxide complex with the active copper salt. The carbon monoxide-rich solution flows from the bottom of the absorber to a flash vessel where physically absorbed gas species such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and methane are removed. The solution is then sent to the stripper where the carbon monoxide is released from the complex by heating and pressure reduction to about 0.15 MPa (1.5 atm). The solvent is stripped of residual carbon monoxide, heat-exchanged with the stripper feed, and pumped to the top of the absorber to complete the cycle.
