  2. Sulfur dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_dioxide

    2 CaSO 4 + 2 SiO 2 + C → 2 CaSiO 3 + 2 SO 2 + CO 2 Until the 1970s commercial quantities of sulfuric acid and cement were produced by this process in Whitehaven , England. Upon being mixed with shale or marl , and roasted, the sulfate liberated sulfur dioxide gas, used in sulfuric acid production, the reaction also produced calcium silicate ...

  3. Flue-gas desulfurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue-gas_desulfurization

    The SO 2 is absorbed in the water, and when oxygen is added reacts to form sulfate ions SO 2− 4 and free H +. The surplus of H + is offset by the carbonates in seawater pushing the carbonate equilibrium to release CO 2 gas: SO 2 + H 2 O + O →H 2 SO 4 HCO − 3 + H + → H 2 O + CO 2. In industry caustic soda (NaOH) is often used to scrub SO ...

  4. Kesternich test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kesternich_test

    • A fixed volume of sulfur dioxide is introduced into the chamber, usually either 1 L (0.33%) or 2 L (0.66%) Volume of SO 2. The test is performed in two sections, o Test section 1: 8 hours warm-up to 40±3 °C (relative humidity 100%) o Test section 2: 16 hours cooling to 18 to 28 °C (relative humidity max. 75 %)

  5. Microbial oxidation of sulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_oxidation_of_sulfur

    Microbial oxidation of sulfur is the oxidation of sulfur by microorganisms to build their structural components. The oxidation of inorganic compounds is the strategy primarily used by chemolithotrophic microorganisms to obtain energy to survive, grow and reproduce. Some inorganic forms of reduced sulfur, mainly sulfide (H 2 S/HS −) and ...

  7. Ripper Method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripper_Method

    The Ripper Method, developed in 1898, [1] is an analytical chemistry technique used to determine the total amount of sulfur dioxide (SO 2) in a solution. This technique uses iodine standard and a starch indicator to titrate the solution and determine the concentration of free SO 2. The titration is done again with a new sample of the solution ...

  8. Contact process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_process

    The contact process is the current method of producing sulfuric acid in the high concentrations needed for industrial processes. Platinum was originally used as the catalyst for this reaction; however, as it is susceptible to reacting with arsenic impurities in the sulfur feedstock, vanadium (V) oxide (V 2 O 5) is now preferred.

  9. Atmosphere of Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Mars

    0.03% (variable) The atmosphere of Mars is the layer of gases surrounding Mars. It is primarily composed of carbon dioxide (95%), molecular nitrogen (2.85%), and argon (2%). [3] It also contains trace levels of water vapor, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and noble gases. [3][5][2] The atmosphere of Mars is much thinner and colder than Earth ...
