Abstract
Samples from the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu provide information on the chemical evolution of organic molecules in the early solar system. Here we show the element partitioning of the major component ions by sequential extractions of salts, carbonates, and phyllosilicate-bearing fractions to reveal primordial brine composition of the primitive asteroid. Sodium is the dominant electrolyte of the salt fraction extract. Anions and NH4+ are more abundant in the salt fraction than in the carbonate and phyllosilicate fractions, with molar concentrations in the order SO42- > Cl- > S2O32- > NO3- > NH4+. The salt fraction extracts contain anionic soluble sulfur-bearing species such as Sn-polythionic acids (n < 6), Cn-alkylsulfonates, alkylthiosulfonates, hydroxyalkylsulfonates, and hydroxyalkylthiosulfonates (n < 7). The sulfur-bearing soluble compounds may have driven the molecular evolution of prebiotic organic material transforming simple organic molecules into hydrophilic, amphiphilic, and refractory S allotropes.

Treatment of complex sulfur-containing solutions in ammonia desulfurization ammonium sulfate production by ultrasonic-assisted ozone technology. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 95:106386. [PMID: 37003211 PMCID: PMC10457592 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the cause of abnormal color in ammonium sulfate products formed by flue gas desulfurization is revealed by investigating the conversion relationship between different sulfur-containing ions and their behavior in a sulfuric acid medium. Both thiosulfate (S2O32-) and sulfite (SO32- & HSO3-) impurities affect the quality of ammonium sulfate. The S2O32- is the main reason for the yellowing of the product due to the formation of sulfur impurities in concentrated sulfuric acid. To address the yellowing of ammonium sulfate products, a unified technology (US/O3), using ozone (O3) and ultrasonic waves (US) simultaneously, is exploited to remove both thiosulfate and sulfite impurities from the mother liquor. The effect of different reaction parameters on the degree of removal of thiosulfate and sulfite is investigated. The synergistic effect of ultrasound and ozone on ion oxidation is further explored and demonstrated by the comparative experiments with O3 and US/O3. Under the optimized conditions, the thiosulfate and sulfite concentration in the solution is 2.07 and 5.93 g/L, respectively, and the degree of removal is 91.39 and 90.83%, respectively. The product obtained after evaporation and crystallization is pure white and meets the national standard requirements for ammonium sulfate products. Under the same conditions, the US/O3 process has apparent advantages, such as saving reaction time compared with the O3 process alone. Introducing an ultrasonically intensified field improves the generation of oxidation radicals ·OH, 1O2, and ·O2- in the solution. Furthermore, the effectiveness of different oxidation components in the decolorization process is studied by adding other radical shielding agents using the US/O3 process supplemented with EPR analysis. The order of the different oxidation components is O3(86.04%) > 1O2(6.53%) > •OH(4.45%) > •O2-(2.97%) for the oxidation of thiosulfate, and it is O3(86.28%) > •OH(7.49%) > 1O2(4.99%) > •O2-(1.25%) for the oxidation of sulfite.

The fate of tetrathionate during the development of a biofilm in biogenic sulfuric acid attack on different cementitious materials. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 850:158031.

Abstract
The biodeterioration of cement-based materials in sewer environments occurs because of the production of sulfuric acid from the biochemical oxidation of H2S by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB). In the perspective of determining the possible reaction pathways for the sulfur cycle in such conditions, hydrated cementitious binders were exposed to an accelerated laboratory test (BAC test) to reproduce a biochemical attack similar to the one occurring in the sewer networks. Tetrathionate was used as a reduced sulfur source to naturally develop sulfur-oxidizing activities on the surfaces of materials. The transformation of tetrathionate was investigated on materials made from different binders: Portland cement, calcium aluminate cement, calcium sulfoaluminate cement and alkali-activated slag. The pH and the concentration of the different sulfur species were monitored in the leached solutions during 3 months of exposure. The results showed that the formation of different polythionates was independent of the nature of the material. The main parameter controlling the phenomena was the evolution of the pH of the leached solutions. Moreover, tetrathionate disproportionation was detected with the formation of more reduced forms of sulfur compounds (pentathionate, hexathionate and elemental sulfur) along with thiosulfate and sulfate. The experimental findings allowed numerical models to be developed to estimate the amount of sulfur compounds as a function of the pH evolution. In addition, biomass samples were collected from the exposed surface and from the deteriorated layers to identify the microbial populations. No clear influence of the cementitious materials on the selected populations was detected, confirming the previous results concerning the impact of the materials on the selected reaction pathways for tetrathionate transformation.

Abstract
Polythionic acids, whose general formula is H2S n O6, with n greater than 2, were discovered in the aqueous solution of SO2 and H2S, known as the Wackenroder liquid. Their reactions with each other and with other reagents are, mostly, difficult to characterize, since such compounds readily decompose and interconvert, especially in solution. Nevertheless, they play an important role in technical applications (e.g., gold leaching, magnesium milling, cooling in metal processing) and in reactions of inorganic chemistry of sulfur. A few years ago, Shell-Paques/Paqell patented the first industrial process for the biological conversion of H2S into a colloidal mixture of sulfur and polythionates. Such hydrophilic sulfur can be used as a fertilizer and soil improver in agriculture in all but alkaline soils. Recently, Eni S.p.A. has developed to bench plant scale a new process, the HydroClaus process for the conversion of H2S into an acidic hydrophilic slurry of sulfur and polythionate ions. Such a slurry can be used as a soil improver where the very alkaline soil pH hinders the cultivation. The aim of this work is to study the laboratory-scale production of polythionates in view of the novel HydroClaus process scale-up at the industrial level. After the literature related to polythionates and their characterization has been revised, the sulfur-based mixture has been synthesized and the polythionate ions concentration has been determined. Also, the effect of the reaction operating conditions has been investigated to assess how they can influence the nature and the distribution of products in solution.
