Sulfur oxidative reactions with

Sulfur dioxide emissions may affect building stone and ferrous and nonferrous metals. Sulfurous acid, formed from the reaction of sulfur dioxide with moisture, accelerates the corrosion of iron, steel, and zinc. Sulfur oxides react with copper to produce the green patina of copper sulfate on the surface of the copper. Acids in the form of gases, aerosols, or precipitation may chemically erode building materials such as marble, limestone, and dolomite. Of particular concern is the chemical erosion of historical monuments and works of art. Sulfurous and sulfuric acids formed from sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide when they react with moisture may also damage paper and leather.

Europeum generally is produced from two common rare earth minerals monazite, a rare earth-thorium orthophosphate, and bastnasite, a rare earth fluocarbonate. The ores are crushed and subjected to flotation. They are opened by sulfuric acid. Reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid at a temperature between 130 to 170°C converts thorium and the rare earths to their hydrous sulfates. The reaction is exothermic which raises the temperature to 250°C. The product sulfates are treated with cold water which dissolves the thorium and rare earth sulfates. The solution is then treated with sodium sulfate which precipitates rare earth elements by forming rare earth-sodium double salts. The precipitate is heated with sodium hydroxide to obtain rare earth hydrated oxides. Upon heating and drying, cerium hydrated oxide oxidizes to tetravalent ceric(lV) hydroxide. When the hydrated oxides are treated with hydrochloric acid or nitric acid, aU but Ce4+ salt dissolves in the acid. The insoluble Ce4+ salt is removed. 

Sulfuric acid plays a major role in air quality and is a primary contributor to acid deposition. The combustion of fossil fuels, which contain sulfur as an impurity, results in the production of sulfur oxides. Sulfur oxides react with water in the atmosphere to produce sulfuric acid, but they may also undergo other reactions leading to dry deposition. Clean air is slightly acidic, with a pH of approximately 5.6. The acidic conditions are primarily due to the presence of carbonic acid produced from the carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. 

A few mechanisms were postulated for this reaction (6). No matter what mechanism is considered, the oxidation of elemental sulfur or thiosulfate is accompanied by reductive cleavage of the sulfur-sulfur bridges. In the case of sulfur, the intermediate involved is a cyclic form of sulfur, probably Ss, although there is little difference observed for different allotrophic forms of sulfur such as rhombic, precipitated, and amphorous. These cyclic sulfides form the basis of polysulfanes and polythionates which could be metabolized readily by Thiobacilli (as shown in Figure 3). Actually, sulfur oxidation begins with its reduction, in which the gluathione-sulfhydryl groups located near the cell surface take part ... 

Of the many reactions known for polysulfanes, only the following types will be dealt with since they are of general importance for inorganic and organic polysulfur compounds interconversion and sulfur transfer reactions, nucleophilic displacement reactions, and oxidation reactions with conservation of chain length. 

Bulk aluminum may undergo the following dangerous interactions exothermic reaction with butanol, methanol, 2-propanol, or other alcohols, sodium hydroxide to release explosive hydrogen gas. Reaction with diborane forms pyrophoric product. Ignition on contact with niobium oxide + sulfur. Explosive reaction with molten metal oxides, oxosalts (nitrates, sulfates), sulfides, and sodium carbonate.

Potentially violent alloy formation with palladium, platinum at mp of Al, 600°C. Vigorous dissolution reaction in... 

Commercially available dimethyl cyclopropylmalonate 30 was converted to mono ester 31 by careful saponification using sodium hydroxide. Coupling with l-amino-2-hexanol afforded the hydroxyamide 32 which was oxidized to ketone 33 under Swern conditions. Condensation to oxazole 34 was effectively achieved by utilizing a two-phase system consisting of dichloromethane and sulfuric acid. Reaction with deprotonated dimethyl methylphosphonate gave the 0-ketophosphonate 35 in an excellent overall yield.
