The arsenious sulphide may be formed as a crystalline precipitate under favourable conditions. When hydrogen sulphide is passed into a 0-2N solution of arsenious oxide in water, golden-yellow leaflets are formed in small quantity,7 and the amount increases with the concentration up to 0-3N. Beyond this concentration the amount of crystalline sulphide produced diminishes whilst, with very dilute solutions (0-05N), traces only are formed. The crystalline form is also obtained by heating in a sealed tube a mixture of arsenious oxide, ammonium thiocyanate and hydrochloric acid.8 If arsenic acid is used in place of the oxide, sulphur is also precipitated. A convenient... 

A second important poison is AS2O3 but its poisoning effect is much less than that of sulphur [17], The mechanism of AS2O3-poisoning is based on the formation of an alloy with nickel. The arsenic typically originates from the solutions used in carbon dioxide wash of the catalyst or is present as an impurity in some zinc oxide sulphur removal beds. Also silica is mentioned as a pore mouth poison by physically blocking the entrance to the pore system by which the catalyst activity is decreased [18],... 

Ferric oxide is dissolved by hydrochloric acid. Nitric acid does not attack the ignited oxide. Sulphuric acid, particularly a mixture of 8 parts of acid with 3 parts of water, effects its solution.8... 

When heated, ferric sulphate dissociates into ferric oxide, sulphur trioxide, sulphur dioxide, and oxygen, equilibrium being established if the operation is carried out in a closed vessel.8... 

He used spectrochemical techniques to study the composition of burnished molybdenum disulphide films from preparation to eventual failure. He found that the film surface at failure contained little molybdenum disulphide but contained molybdic oxide, sulphur, sulphate and iron compounds. In the presence of antimony trioxide, however, there was preferential oxidation of the antimony trioxide to the tetroxide Sb204. On heating a mixture of molybdenum disulphide and antimony trioxide in air at 500 C and 600 C, he found by X-ray diffraction that the products were mixtures of molybdenum disulphide and antimony tetroxide. Neither molybdic oxide M0O3 nor antimony trioxide was present. When molybdenum disulphide alone was heated under the same conditions, it was almost completely converted to molybdic oxide. 

Rubber tyres are by far the most visible of rubber products. Identification is trivial and collection is well organized. Recycling and disposal, however, are less evident. A major route for tyres is their use as a supplemental fuel in cement kilns. Major compounds in tyres are styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), synthetic and natural polyisoprene rubber, steel cord, carbon black, zinc oxide, sulphur and vulcanization-controlling chemicals. Tyres can be retreaded, which is economic for large sizes (truck tyres), or ground to crumb or powder (cryogenic grinding). Such materials have some limited market potential as an additive in asphalt, and in surfaces for tennis courts or athletics. 

The determination of the characteristics of the active phase (metal, oxide, sulphur, etc.) also forms part of the concerns of the researcher seeking to characterise the type and number of sites responsible for the catalytic act. 

While the specific surface area of carriers is often determined—as we have seen above—by using physical adsorption, the active phase of the catalysts (metal, oxide, sulphur) can be studied by selective chemisorption (with no support interaction) of an adsorbate under conditions of pressure and temperature permitting the formation of a single layer on the surface of the metal. During chemical adsorption, there is a chemical reaction between the gas molecule and the active phase, which is represented by the transfer or sharing of electrons. 

Compounds with oxidation reduction properties (oxides, sulphurs) to determine the accessible surface. 

The composition which contains sulphur and some oxidizer is generally sensitive to shock and friction. The highest degree of sensitivity is in combination with chlorate next with ammonium perchlorate with potassium perchlorate the third and with nitrates less sensitive than above. V/ith any oxidizer sulphur gives a higher ignition sensitivity than charcoal.

The pure compound crjrstallises in needles, M.pt. 288 C., which are soluble in benzene, xylene, or chloroform, less soluble in alcohol, and insoluble in water. Mercury di-p-tolyl gives the same type of products as mercury diphenyl (see table, p. 74) when it reacts with halogens, halogen acids, mercuric chloride, boron or arsenic trichlorides, phosphorus trichloride, silicon tetrachloride, nitrogen tri- and tetr-oxides, sulphur, selenium, and tellurium. ... 

The study of the chlorine content of our wood waste could be attractive the presence of particles board, oriented stand board, hardboard points to the presence of chlorine usually used in glues. The combustion of such products in a boiler generates nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrochloric acid and formaldehyde [8].

The Ministry for Health and Social Welfare has the responsibility for measuring ambient air quality throughout Himgary. In order to accomplish this task, nitrous oxides, sulphur oxides and particle sedimentation are regularly monitored at 100 stations.
