TL;DR: It is shown that hydrogen sulfide is formed from L-Cysteine and that sodium sulfide could substitute for L-cysteine in the potentiation of hydrogen peroxide-induced killing of E. coli K-12.
Abstract: L-Cysteine potentiates 100-fold the hydrogen peroxide-induced killing of a growing culture of Escherichia coli K-12 (Berglin et al., J. Bacteriol. 152:81-88). In the present study it is shown that hydrogen sulfide is formed from L-cysteine and that sodium sulfide could substitute for L-cysteine in the potentiation of hydrogen peroxide-induced killing of E. coli K-12. Addition of an amino acid, L-leucine, L-valine, or L-alanine, to an L-cysteine-containing medium with a growing culture of E. coli K-12 inhibited hydrogen sulfide formation and the potentiation of hydrogen peroxide-induced killing. These amino acids did not inhibit hydrogen sulfide formation from L-cysteine by a cell extract, and they did not inhibit the potentiation by sulfide of hydrogen peroxide-induced killing. This indicated that the amino acids protected the culture from L-cysteine-potentiated, hydrogen peroxide-induced killing by inhibiting the transport of L-cysteine into the cell. The potentiation by sodium sulfide of hydrogen peroxide-induced killing was abolished by the metal ion chelator 2,2'-bipyridyl. This indicated that metal ions, in addition to sulfide, were involved in the killing. Toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide are often presumed to be mediated by hydroxyl radicals formed in iron-catalyzed reactions. It was demonstrated that iron sulfide was more efficient than ferrous iron in catalyzing the formation of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide. It was suggested that hydrogen sulfide formed in polymicrobial infections may play an important role in the host defense by potentiating the antimicrobial effect of hydrogen peroxide produced by phagocytic cells.

TL;DR: Observations suggest the existence of at least three distinct subclasses of so-called nitric oxide vasodilators, at least in some cases cyanide and sulfide cannot be acting by the same mechanism in their modifications of the responses to the agonists.
Abstract: Sodium nitroprusside relaxed guinea pig ileum after the segment had been submaximally contracted by either histamine or acetylcholine, intact isolated rabbit gall bladder after submaximal contraction by either acetylcholine or cholecystokinin octapeptide, and rat pulmonary artery helical strips after submaximal contraction with norepinephrine. In each of these cases the relaxation produced by nitroprusside was at least partially reversed by the subsequent addition of excess sodium cyanide. Cyanide, however, in nontoxic concentrations did not reverse the spasmolytic effects of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, sodium azide, nitroglycerin, sodium nitrite, or nitric oxide hemoglobin on guinea pig ileum, nor did cyanide alone in the same concentrations have any effect. The similar interaction between nitroprusside and cyanide on rabbit aortic strips is not dependent on the presence of an intact endothelia cell layer. Also, on rabbit aortic strips and like cyanide, sodium sulfide reversed the spasmolytic effects of azide and hydroxylamine, but it had little or no effect on the relaxation induced by papaverine. Unlike cyanide, however, sulfide augmented the relaxation induced by nitroprusside, and it reversed the effects of nitric oxide hemoglobin, nitroglycerin, and nitrite. A direct chemical reaction between sulfide and nitroprusside may account for the difference between it and cyanide. Although evidence wasmore » obtained also for a direct chemical reaction between sulfide and norepinephrine, that reaction does not seem to have played a role in these results.« less

TL;DR: In this paper, a treatment technique for drastically reducing the volume of hazardous sludge generated by the chemical reduction of chromium contaminants and the precipitation of heavy metal contaminants from contaminated electroplating wastewater is presented.
Abstract: The present invention involves a treatment technique for drastically reducing the volume of hazardous sludge generated by the chemical reduction of chromium contaminants and the precipitation of heavy metal contaminants from contaminated electroplating wastewater. The wastewater is first adjusted to a pH of from about 8 to 10 and then treated with sodium sulfide to provide sulfide ions to effect precipitation of heavy metal contaminants followed by treatment with ferrous sulfate or ferrous chloride to provide ferrous ions to chemically reduce the hexavalent chromium to its trivalent state. This method produces approximately one-fourth the sludge generated by the previously known acidic reaction treatment using only ferrous sulfide.

TL;DR: The Raman spectrum of selenium dissolved in an aqueous solution of sodium sulfide was measured using an YAG laser and a multiple-reflection cell, and an intense broad band was observed at 264 cm-1 as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The Raman spectrum of selenium dissolved in an aqueous solution of sodium sulfide was measured using an YAG laser and a multiple-reflection cell, and an intense broad band was observed at 264 cm-1. This frequency is higher than those of the corresponding symmetric bond-stretclaing modes in any solid form of selenium. This is explained by considering the decrease of the interference between inter- and intramolecular bondings in the solution.

TL;DR: In this article, the condensation of coniferyl alcohol with dissolved lignins of low molecular weight (LMWL) was investigated, and the results showed that the mixture formed oligomers with only a small proportion of the reaction products characterized by molecular weights greater than about 1000.
Abstract: The condensation of coniferyl alcohol with dissolved lignins of low molecular weight (LMWL) has been investigated. In aqueous sodium hydroxide (soda), sodium hydroxide - sodium sulfide (kraft) or sodium hydroxide - anthraquinone (soda-AQ) solutions, lignin preparations were heated and molecular weight distributions of the resultant condensation products were estimated. When coniferyl alcohol dissolved in soda and kraft liquors was heated, self-condensation was observed, mainly to form oligomers with only a small proportion of the reaction products characterized by molecular weights greater than about 1000. When mixtures of LMWL and coniferyl alcohol were heated in sodium hydroxide solutions, condensation reactions occurred and progressed further with increased temperature and concentration of coniferyl alcohol. In contrast to results with sodium hydroxide solutions, heating in kraft liquors gave rise to a higher proportion of the oligomer fraction and a smaller proportion of higher molecular weig...

TL;DR: In this paper, a flash-crystallizer-separator unit is used to separate geothermal brine into a gaseous fraction, a liquid fraction, and a solids fraction.
Abstract: Improved apparatus and method in which brine of the geothermal and geopressured types is directed into one or more flash-crystallizer-separator units from a geothermal well. Such brine is separated into a gaseous fraction, a liquid fraction and a solids fraction. The gaseous fraction is used to provide useful work, such as driving a turbine, while the liquid and solids fractions are treated to remove the mineral values therefrom. The liquid fraction, following the mineral recovery therefrom, is directed back into the earth through an injection well. An important aspect of the invention is the injection of chemicals into one or more of the process vessels of the apparatus of the present invention. This causes additional mineral growth, such as the growth of heavy metal sulfide, in the brine. This is achieved by injecting sulfide ions into the brine, preferably in the form of sodium sulfide. The resulting brine slurry formed in the vessels can be sent to a thickener and then to a filter press for dewatering. The resulting filter cake contains the mineral values in the form of heavy metals, primarily lead, silver and zinc, and the filter cake can be sold to a smelter for extraction of the metals or the metals can be extracted on site.

TL;DR: In this article, a process for regenerating white liquor from residual kraft liquors is described, which involves reacting at least one metal oxide member selected from ferric oxide and/or titanium dioxide with a sodium carbonate product derived from a residual Kraft black liquor under vigourous oxidation condition that is near but below the eutectic temperature of the derived product and of the selected member.
Abstract: This is a process for regenerating white liquor from residual kraft liquors. The process comprises reacting at least one metal oxide member selected from ferric oxide and/or titanium dioxide with a sodium carbonate product derived from a residual kraft black liquor under vigourous oxidation condition that is near but below the eutectic temperature of the derived product and of the selected member, to form particles comprising a mixture of sodium sulfate and of at least one sodium member of the class consisting of sodium ferrite and sodium titanate, reducing the particles in solid phase by converting the sodium sulfate in the particles to sodium sulfide in the presence of a reducing gas. The reduced particles are then dissolved in an aqueous medium to form a white liquor, and to convert the sodium member into sodium hydroxide soluble in the white liquor and into an insoluble metal oxide of the selected member. The insoluble metal oxide is separated leaving the white liquor composed of dissolved sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide in an aqueous solution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to use a specific reagent such as sodium sulfide in performing flotation of copper mineral in minearl solution to improve the separation efficiency.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To efficiently collect copper mineral as flotation mineral without involving a public nuisance generating danger or requiring incidental equipment, by using a specific reagent such as sodium sulfide in performing flotation. CONSTITUTION:When copper mineral is selectively collected from various sulfide ores according to a flotation process, sodium sulide, carbon dioxide and a zinc compound are added to minearl solution as reagents. By together using all of three kinds of reagents, minerals such as galena or sphalerite other than copper mineral are suppressed and, therefore, separation efficiency is further enhanced.

TL;DR: In this paper, a successful method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of methylmercury in environmental samples, particularly in sediments by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC).
Abstract: A successful method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of methylmercury in environmental samples, particularly in sediments by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). A sample of known weight was treated with ethanolic potassium hydroxide solution and extracted with dithizone-benzene solution after slightly acidification with hydrochloric acid. The methylmercury dithizonate in benzene layer was partitioned into a small portion of sodium sulfide in aqueous ethanol as bismethylmercury sulfide. The excess of sulfide ions was removed by bubbling air through the solution slightly acidified with hydrochloric acid, and then methylmercury in the solution was re-extracted into dithizone-benzene solution as methylmercuric dithizonate. Methylmercury thus obtained was measured by ECD-GLC with a column of 5% diethylene glycol succinate and 5% sodium chloride on chromosorb W. The recovery of methylmercury added to river sediments was 95.7% on the average and the detection limit was 0.5 ppb as mercury on a wet weight basis in the present method. This method was also applicable to the analyses of methylmercury in other environmental samples such as natural water, fish, etc.
