Sulfide ion

Hydrogen sulfide ion HS and anions of the type RS are substantially less basic than hydroxide ion and react with both primary and secondary alkyl halides to give mainly substitution products... 

Activators enhance the adsorption of collectors, eg, Ca " in the fatty acid flotation of siUcates at high pH or Cu " in the flotation of sphalerite, ZnS, by sulfohydryl collectors. Depressants, on the other hand, have the opposite effect they hinder the flotation of certain minerals, thus improving selectivity. For example, high pH as well as high sulfide ion concentrations can hinder the flotation of sulfide minerals such as galena (PbS) in the presence of xanthates (ROCSS ). Hence, for a given fixed collector concentration there is a fixed critical pH that defines the transition between flotation and no flotation. This is the basis of the Barsky relationship which can be expressed as [X ]j[OH ] = constant, where [A ] is the xanthate ion concentration in the pulp and [Oi/ ] is the hydroxyl ion concentration indicated by the pH. Similar relationships can be written for sulfide ion, cyanide, or thiocyanate, which act as typical depressants in sulfide flotation systems. 

Occurrence of rhenium and molybdenum together in nature is a consequence of the similarities of these elements. Both elements have a high affinity for sulfide ion. Moreover, the radii of Re" " and Mo" ", 0.74 nm and 0.70 nm, respectively, ate almost identical, so that ReS2 [12038-63-0] and M0S2 have similar crystal stmctures with almost identical dimensions (see Molybdenumcompounds). 

Free ionic silver readily forms soluble complexes or insoluble materials with dissolved and suspended material present in natural waters, such as sediments and sulfide ions (44). The hardness of water is sometimes used as an indicator of its complex-forming capacity. Because of the direct relationship between the availabiUty of free silver ions and adverse environmental effects, the 1980 ambient freshwater criterion for the protection of aquatic life is expressed as a function of the hardness of the water in question. The maximum recommended concentration of total recoverable silver, in fresh water is thus given by the following expression (45) in Fg/L. 

In secondary wastewater treatment plants receiving silver thiosulfate complexes, microorganisms convert this complex predominately to silver sulfide and some metallic silver (see Wastes, INDUSTRIAL). These silver species are substantially removed from the treatment plant effluent at the settling step (47,48). Any silver entering municipal secondary treatment plants tends to bind quickly to sulfide ions present in the system and precipitate into the treatment plant sludge (49). Thus, silver discharged to secondary wastewater treatment plants or into natural waters is not present as the free silver ion but rather as a complexed or insoluble species. 

Hydrogen SulBde. Sulfide ion from 10 to 1 Af can be measured potentiometricaHy with an ion-selective electrode. Mercuric ion interferes at concentrations >10 M. The concentration of hydrogen sulfide can be calculated knowing the sample pH and the piC for H2S. 

The sulfide ions in Ln S, LnSF were detenuined after sample s treatment by titrated solution in a week-acid media. Excess iodine was titrated with Na S Oj solution. Fluoride ions in LnF, LnSF were detenuined after sample s treatment by H BO titrated solution. After the removal of BF excess boric acid was converted into the stronger mannitoboric acid, which was titrated potentiometrically with NaOFI solution. 

Zn is determined by direct titration with EDTA with xelenol indicator after iron elimination with acetate ions and copper - with sulfide ions.

The rate of reaction is controlled by the diffusion process, as the sulfide ion must first diffuse to the surface of the zinc oxide to react. High temperature (>250°F) increases the diffusion rate and is normally used to promote the reaction rate. 

OKO-l,3,7-triazanaphthalene (450) forms acyloxy derivatives in situ with phosphorus oxychloride and pentasulfide which undergo nucleophilic displacement with chloride ion and with a complex sulfide ion, respectively, to form the 4-chloro and 4-thioxo derivatives. The 4-carboxymethylthio compoimd failed to undergo the ring-opening reaction (see below) characteristic of more activated azino- and diazino-pyrimidines, but it did yield about 10% of the 4-0X0 displacement product. 

Depending on the conditions, the reaction of diacetylene with sulfide ions leads either to di(2-ethynylvinyl)sulfide (46) (79ZOR1554) or thiophene (76DIS 80GEP2818580 81KGS1694), the product of cyclization of ethynylvinylthio anion or of the corresponding thiol. 

Conditions under which the reaction is directed solely toward the formation of the sulfide 46 (yield of up to 89.5%) have been reported (79ZOR1554) Liquid ammonia is used as a solvent, whereas sulfide ions are generated by ammonium sulfide formed directly in the reaction mixture from ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. The sulfide 46 possesses the Z,Z-configuration, providing evidence for a high trans stereoselectivity of the reaction (79ZOR1554).

These reactions show sulfur in the role of an oxidizing agent. The properties of compounds such as ZnS suggest they contain the sulfide ion, S-2. The formation of this ion again can be expected on the basis of the fact that the neutral sulfur atom has two electrons less than enough to fill the valence orbitals. Acquisition of two electrons completely fills the low energy valence orbitals and solid ionic compounds can be formed. 

The common route for the synthesis of medium-size ring sulfoxides and sulfones is oxidation of the corresponding cyclic sulfides70, which are obtained from the interaction of a, w-dihaloalkanes with sulfide ion in fair to good yields243 (equation 110). 

Monatomic anions, such as the Cl- ions in sodium chloride and the O2- ions in quicklime (CaO), are named by adding the suffix -ide and the word ion to the first part of the name of the element (the stem" of its name), as shown in Table D.l thus, S2 is a sulfide ion and O2 is an oxide ion. There is usually no need to specify the charge, because most elements that form monatomic anions form only one kind of ion. The ions formed by the halogens are collectively called halide ions and include fluoride (F ), chloride (Cl-), bromide (Br-), and iodide (I ) ions.
