TL;DR: A quantitative point measurement of total sodium (Na) and potassium (K) in the plume of a burning particle of Australian Loy Yang brown coal and of pine wood pellets (63 ± 3 mg) was performed using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in a laminar premixed methane flame at equivalence ratios (U ) of 1.149 and 1.336 as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A quantitative point measurement of total sodium ([Na](total)) and potassium ([K](total)) in the plume of a burning particle of Australian Loy Yang brown coal (23 ± 3 mg) and of pine wood pellets (63 ± 3 mg) was performed using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in a laminar premixed methane flame at equivalence ratios ( U ) of 1.149 and 1.336. Calibration was performed using atomic sodium or potassium generated by evaporation of droplets of sodium sulfite (Na(2)SO(3)) or potassium sulfate (K(2)SO(4)) solutions seeded into the flame. The calibration compensated for the absorption by atomic alkalis in the seeded flame, which is significant at high concentrations of solution. This allowed quantitative measurements of sodium (Na) and potassium (K) released into the flame during the three phases of combustion, namely devolatilization, char, and ash cooking. The [Na](total) in the plume released from the combustion of pine wood pellets during the devolatilization was found to reach up to 13 ppm. The maximum concentration of total sodium ([Na](max)M(total)) and potassium ([K](max)(total)) released during the char phase of burning coal particles for φ = 1.149 was found to be 9.27 and 5.90 ppm, respectively. The [Na](max)(total) and [K](max)(total) released during the char phase of burning wood particles for φ = 1.149 was found to be 15.1 and 45.3 ppm, respectively. For the case of φ = 1.336, the [Na](max)(total) and [K](max)(total) were found to be 13.9 and 6.67 ppm during the char phase from burning coal particles, respectively, and 21.1 and 39.7 ppm, respectively, from burning wood particles. The concentration of alkali species was higher during the ash phase. The limit of detection (LOD) of sodium and potassium with LIBS in the present arrangement was estimated to be 29 and 72 ppb, respectively.

TL;DR: Sodium sulfite is a potential hypoxia inducer that mimics hypoxic stress in Caenorhabditis elegans and is evaluated for its ability to remove dissolved oxygen in aqueous solutions.
Abstract: Physical and chemical hypoxia have been widely used in the study of hypoxic injury; however, both of these hypoxia models have their own limitations. Physical hypoxia is usually difficult to control and maintain. Chemical hypoxia, which is usually induced by chemical hypoxia-mimicking agents, such as CoCl2, may result in heavy metal toxicity or impose security threats. To develop a more suitable hypoxia model, we focused on sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) and evaluated its ability to remove dissolved oxygen in aqueous solutions. Our results showed that sodium sulfite successfully induced hypoxic conditions. The degree of hypoxia and the guarantee period of the sodium sulfite solution could be easily controlled by the concentration of soluble sodium sulfite. In addition, we used sodium sulfite to create a hypoxia model in Caenorhabditis elegans. Similar to physical hypoxia, the sodium sulfite solutions induced hypoxia-related death in the worms and led to morphologic cell defects and C. elegans hypoxia inducible factor 1 stabilization. Taken together, our data show that sodium sulfite is a potential hypoxia inducer that mimics hypoxic stress in C. elegans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of salt on phase forming ability has been studied based on the effective excluded volume (EEV) values from fitting the binodal data to the Binodal model.
Abstract: Liquid–liquid equilibrium data have been determined for 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Emim]BF4)/1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Pmim]BF4) + trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4)/sodium sulfite (Na2SO3)/sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) aqueous two-phase systems at T = 298.15 K, respectively. Two empirical equations were used to correlate binodal data. The Othmer-Tobias and Bancroft as well as Setschenow-type equations were used to correlate the tie-line data. The results show that good agreement was obtained with the experimental data. The effect of salt on the phase forming ability has been studied based on the effective excluded volume (EEV) values from fitting the binodal data to the binodal model. The binodal curves and EEV both indicate that the salting-out effect of the three salts follow the order Na3PO4 > Na2SO3 > NaH2PO4, which can also be related to the Gibbs free energy of hydration of the ions (ΔhydG) and [Pmim]BF4 is easier to be excluded the IL-rich phase than [...

TL;DR: A new method is described for determining the oxygen transfer rate (OTR) in shaken-culture systems based on the sodium sulfite method in combination with an electrochemical oxygen sensor that replaces the laborious titration of the remaining sulfite by an on-line detection of the end point of the reaction.
Abstract: The dissolved oxygen concentration is a crucial parameter in aerobic bioprocesses due to the low solubility of oxygen in water. The present study describes a new method for determining the oxygen transfer rate (OTR) in shaken-culture systems based on the sodium sulfite method in combination with an electrochemical oxygen sensor. The method replaces the laborious titration of the remaining sulfite by an on-line detection of the end point of the reaction. This method is a two-step procedure that can be applied in arbitrary flasks that do not allow the insertion of electrodes. The method does not therefore depend on the type of vessel in which the OTR is detected. The concept is demonstrated by determination of the OTR for standard baffled 1-L shake flasks and for opaque Ultra Yield™ flasks. Under typical shaking conditions, k(L) a values in the standard baffled flasks reached values up to 220 h(-1) , whereas the k(L) a values of the Ultra Yield flasks were significantly higher (up to 422 h(-1) ).

TL;DR: In this paper, the catalytic effect of thiocarbamide on the cathodic reduction of gold from mixed sulfite-thiocaramide electrolytes is studied as a function of the electrolyte composition.
Abstract: The cathodic reduction of gold from mixed sulfite-thiocarbamide electrolytes is studied as a function of the electrolyte composition. In the absence of thiocarbamide in the gold-plating sulfite solutions, gold is deposited at the cathode at high overpotentials. The equilibrium composition of the electrolyte is calculated at various ratios between the amounts of sulfite and thiocarbamide; it is shown that an addition of 10−5 to 0.5 M thiocarbamide does not change considerably the solution composition, and gold ions are present, predominantly, in the form of the complex with sulfite ions. However, an addition of thiocarbamide to the solution leads to a decrease in the overpotential of metal deposition by approximately 0.5 V. A possible mechanism of the catalytic effect of thiocarbamide on the cathodic reduction of gold from mixed sulfite-thiocarbamide electrolytes is proposed. It is shown that sulfite ions have a stabilizing effect on the decomposition of thiocarbamide in the alkaline solutions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the stability of the sodium sulfite solutions in air and showed a possibility of using them for a long period, using the methods of potentiodynamic polarization and potentiostatic electrolysis, and showed that the anodic polarization process of the silver dissolution occurs with 100% yield with respect to the consumed current.
Abstract: Among the complexing agents suitable for the electrochemical silver recovery, a promising one is sodium sulfite forming silver complexes with high stability constants: according to our data, log β1 ~ 5.3, log β2 ~ 8.2. This reagent is accessible and cheap, but nevertheless it almost never has been used for these purposes. We studied the stability of the sodium sulfite solutions in air and showed a possibility of using them for a long period. Using the methods of potentiodynamic polarization and potentiostatic electrolysis, we have studied characteristics of the process of metallic silver oxidation in the sulfite media. The anodic polarization process of the silver dissolution is shown to occur with 100% yield with respect to the consumed current. Simultaneously, on the cathode deposited up to 90% of dissolved silver. An urgent problem of chemical technology is the extraction of noble metals, particularly silver, from the electronic and jewelry scrap and similar sources. The traditional methods of the silver extraction (1-3) are based on its dissolution in the presence of oxidants in acid solution (perchloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid) or complexing agents (cyanide, thiocyanate, thiourea). From these solutions, silver is isolated as insoluble salts or is reduced to metal. The main disadvantages of these techniques are the high consumption of reagents and non-selectivity of dissolution: besides silver copper, iron, and other components of the raw material are dissolved. Significantly less expensive are the methods that use electrolytic anodic oxidation of silver in specially selected electrolytes (4). Processing a material containing large amount of basic metals (copper, iron, nickel, etc.) should be performed under conditions providing selective transfer of silver in the solution. For this purpose are used the electrolytes containing thiourea (5), thiocyanate (6, 7), amino acids (8), etc. Silver can be deposited and isolated on the cell cathode. Note that the earlier proposed thiourea me- dium (2) still is widely used in the gold and silver hydrometallurgy. The study of the process of elec- trolytic oxidation and reduction of silver has been carried out in (9-11). A promising complexing agent in the processes of electrochemical oxidation of silver is sodium sulfite, the side product in processing of sulfide ores used in the manufacture of chemicals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a cyanide-free gold electroplating liquid, which consists of the following main ingredients: gold trichloride, sodium sulfite or potassium sulfite serving as a main complexing agent, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) or sodium citrate serving as an auxiliary complexing agents and sodium chloride or potassium chloride serving as inorganic salt.
Abstract: The invention relates to cyanide-free gold electroplating liquid, and belongs to the field of surface modification of metal materials. The cyanide-free gold electroplating liquid has the advantages that: the electroplating liquid is non-toxic, simple in a formula and high in stability, does not have the phenomenon of turbidity and color change after being stood at normal temperature and still can be used. The cyanide-free gold electroplating liquid comprises the following main ingredients: gold trichloride, sodium sulfite or potassium sulfite serving as a main complexing agent, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) or sodium citrate serving as an auxiliary complexing agent and sodium chloride or potassium chloride serving as inorganic salt. In the cyanide-free gold electroplating liquid, a new formula proportion is adopted, the cost is low, a plating layer is high in bonding force and bright, and the preparation of the functional gold plating layer is realized. The popularization and application of the cyanide-free gold electroplating liquid can create economic and social benefit.
