Tropospheric Chemistry Sulfur Cycle Image courtesy of Hugh Powell, Univ. of Durham, UK Tropospheric Chemistry Sulfur Cycle SO 2 can be converted to H 2SO 4 in the gas phase or in aqueous solution (in clouds or fogs) Gas phase oxidation involves … OH attack! SO 2 + •OH + M → HSO 3• + M HSO 3• + O 2 + M → SO 3 + HOO • + M SO 3 is highly soluble in water, producing sulfuric acid: SO 3 + H 2O → H2SO 4(aq) Gaseous SO 2 dissolves in water giving sulfurous acid: - + SO 2 + H2O → HSO 3 (aq) + H (aq) Once in solution, there are several oxidation pathways: • by dissolved ozone or hydrogen peroxide: - - e.g., HSO 3 + H 2O2 → SO 2OOH + H 2O - + SO 2OOH + H → H2SO 4 (pH dependent) • by dissolved oxygen, catalyzed by iron and/or manganese - - HSO 3 + ½ O2 → HSO 4 Tropospheric Chemistry Nitrogen Chemistry Image courtesy of Hugh Powell, Univ. of Durham, UK Tropospheric Chemistry Nitrogen Chemistry Nitrogen chemistry is actually quite complicated! NO and NO 2 can be absorbed in water droplets: + - - 2NO 2 + H 2O → 2H + NO 3 + NO 2 NO 2 can be oxidized by OH in the gas phase: NO 2 + •OH + M → HNO 3 + M In the stratosphere, NO plays a starring role in the catalytic cycle for ozone destruction (Crutzen’s contribution!) NH 3 is absorbed in water droplets, and is the most important aqueous base in the atmosphere At nighttime, NO 2 can be oxidized by O 3 to form NO 3, a strong atmospheric oxidant which can go on to form N 2O5: NO 3 + NO 2 + M → N2O5 + M In the morning, both compounds rapidly photolyze to give the troposphere a morning boost of NOx: N2O5 + hν → NO 3• + NO 2 NO 3• + hν → NO + O 2 NO 2 + O Tropospheric Chemistry Acid Rain Normal, unpolluted rainwater has a typical pH of ~5-5.6: CO 2 + H 2O → H2CO 3(aq) + - H2CO 3(aq) → H (aq) + HCO 3 (aq) - + - HCO 3 (aq) → H (aq) + CO 3 (aq) Rain with pH < 4.5 is termed “acid rain” Term used for both dry acid deposition and acid precipitation Acids found in rainwater: H2SO 4, HNO 3, HCl, H 2CO 3, H 2SO 3, organic acids H2SO 4 and HNO 3 are main anthropogenic pollutants responsible for acidification, resulting from fossil fuel combustion. Emissions of these compounds are decreasing in most industrialized countries, however with residence times of several days, acid rain can affect areas 1000s of km from the emission source. Problems caused by acidity: • damage to vegetation • acidification of surface waters, esp. lakes. Tropospheric Chemistry The primary photochemical cycle of NOx and ozone NO is a primary pollutant formed by combustion, in the atmosphere it oxidizes to form NO 2: 2NO + O 2 → 2 NO 2 Ozone then occurs as a result of photolysis of NO 2: NO 2 + hν → NO + O (1) O + O 2 + M → O3 + M (2) Note that there are no other significant sources of ozone in the atmosphere other than reaction 2. Once formed, ozone can regenerate NO 2: NO + O 3 → NO 2 + O 2 (3) Let’s consider the system of reactions 1-3. The rate of change of O 3 is: d[O ] 3 = −k [O ][ NO ]+ k [O][ O ][ M] dt 3 3 2 2 Similarly, the rate of change of O is: d[O] = k [NO ]− k [O][ O ][ M] dt 1 2 2 2 Tropospheric Chemistry The primary photochemical cycle of NOx and ozone NO 2 + hν → NO + O (1) d[O] O + O + M O + M (2) = k [NO ]− k [O][ O ][ M] 2 → 3 dt 1 2 2 2 NO + O 3 → NO 2 + O 2 (3) In reality, reaction 2 is so fast that the oxygen atom disappears as soon as it’s formed by reaction 1. The result is that d[O]/dt is always very nearly zero …this is called the “pseudo-steady state approximation” (PSSA): k k 1[NO 2 ] = 2[O][ O2 ][ M] The steady-state ozone concentration was given by: d[O ] 3 = −k [O ][ NO ]+ k [O][ O ][ M] = 0 dt 3 3 2 2 Substituting the result of the PSSA into the above equation gives: k [NO ] [O ] = 1 2 3 k 3[NO ] The steady-state ozone concentration is proportional to [NO2] / [NO] Tropospheric Chemistry Chemistry of the background troposphere The key species involved are: • methane (CH 4) • carbon monoxide (CO) • formaldehyde (HCHO) • ozone (O 3) • NOx (NO and NO 2) • nitric acid (HNO 3) • hydrogen peroxide (H 2O2) The initiation step that starts it all is the photolysis of ozone to generate two OH radicals (“the atmosphere’s detergent”): O3 + hν → O2 + O* O* + H 2O → 2 •OH Chemistry of the Background Troposphere CO chemistry Chemical lifetime of 30-90 days Primary natural source is oxidation of methane (20-50%), with the remainder from oxidation of other hydrocarbons and from oceans. Primary sink is OH radical attack: •OH + CO → CO 2 + •H (1) •H + O 2 + M → HOO• + M (2) the hydroperoxyl radical HOO• + NO → NO 2 + •OH (3) If NOx concentrations are low, the following reaction competes with (3): HOO• + O 3 → •OH + 2O 2 (4) So the photolytic oxidation of CO to CO 2, catalyzed by OH, leads to a net production of ozone in the presence of NOx since: k [NO ] [O ] = 1 2 3 k 3[NO ] or to the net destruction of O 3 if NOx concentrations are low via (4) Chemistry of the Background Troposphere CH 4 and HCHO chemistry Chemical lifetime of 8-10 years Primary natural source is biogenic (swamps, tropical rainforests, livestock) In urban air, methane oxidation is slower than other hydrocarbons Primary sink is OH radical attack: •OH + CH 4 → •CH 3 + H 2O •CH3 + O 2 + M → CH 3OO• + M methylperoxy radical CH 3OO• + NO → NO 2 + CH 3O• methoxy radical CH 3O• + O 2 → HCHO + HOO• formaldehyde (HOO• + NO → NO 2 + •OH) HCHO is further attacked by OH to form CO: HCHO + •OH → HCO• + H 2O HCO• + O 2 → HOO• + CO (HOO• + NO → NO 2 + •OH) As we saw before, CO is oxidized to CO 2: CO + 2O 2 + hν → CO 2 + O 2 So methane is oxidized photolytically to CO 2 via OH attack, with formaldehyde and CO as intermediates and net production of ozone.

  • 1 the Volumetric Determination of Hydroxylamine
    VOLUMETRIC DETERMINATION OF HYDROXYLAMINE. I363 [CONTRIBUTION FROM THE CHEMICAL LABORATORYOF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.1 THE VOLUMETRIC DETERMINATION OF HYDROXYLAMINE. BY WILLIAMC. BRAY,MIBUM E. SIMPSONAND ANNA A. MACKENZIE. Received July 17, 1919 In the present investigation 3 volumetric methods of determining hydroxylamine in aqueous solution have been studied : The titanous salt method,' in which the hydroxylamine is reduced by excess titanous salt in acid solution with exclusion of air, and the excess titrated with permanganate. 2NH20H + Ti2(S04)3 = (NH4)2S04 + 4TiOS04 + HzS04. (I) The ferric salt method,2 in which the hydroxylamine is oxidized in an acid solution by excess of a ferric salt, the mixture is boiled and the fer- rous salt formed titrated with permanganate. 2NH20H + 2Fe@04)3 = N2O + 4FeS04 + 2H2S04 + H20. (2) The iodine method,3 in which the hydroxylamine is oxidized by iodine in a neutral solution, e. g., in the presence of disodium phosphate. 2NH20H + 212 = N2O + 4HI + H2O (3) or 2NH20H + 213- = N20 + 61- + 4H+ + HzO. Our first experiments, with the iodine method, yielded irregular results which could not be interpreted until the concentration of the hydroxyl- amine solution was accurately determined. An examination of the literature showed a rather unsatisfactory state of affairs. The advocates of the ferric sulfate method furnish evidence that it is perfectly reliable, but Leuba4 gives detailed experimental data to prove the contrary, and Adams5 states that he could not obtain reproducible results with it. The investigators who have used the iodine method consider it to be fairly satisfactory, but some of them state that it is not very accurate, and Rupp and Maeder6 have recently concluded that correct results are obtained only by a compensation of errors.

  • A Fundamental Evaluation of the Atmospheric Pre-Leaching Section of the Nickel-Copper Matte Treatment Process
    A FUNDAMENTAL EVALUATION OF THE ATMOSPHERIC PRE-LEACHING SECTION OF THE NICKEL-COPPER MATTE TREATMENT PROCESS by RODRICK MULENGA LAMYA Dissertation presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Extractive Metallurgical Engineering) in the Department of Process Engineering at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa Promoter Prof. L. Lorenzen STELLENBOSCH March 2007 DECLARATION I the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this dissertation is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: ............................................... Date: ....................................................... Copyright © 2007 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i SYNOPSIS Nickel-Copper sulphide ores are the most important Platinum Group Metal bearing ores. The South African deposits are exceptionally rich in the platinum group metals (PGMs) and production of the PGMs is the primary purpose of treating these ores. The methods used in the recovery of the PGMs from the nickel-copper ores generally consists of ore concentration by physical techniques, pyrometallurgical concentration and hydrometallurgical extraction of the base metals followed by the PGMs. Pyrometallurgical concentration produces Ni-Cu matte, which is treated by hydrometallurgical processes to recover the nickel, copper, cobalt and the precious metals. In this study, the leaching behaviour of a Ni–Cu matte in CuSO4–H2SO4 solution during the repulping (pre-leach) stage at Impala Platinum Refineries was studied. The repulping stage is basically a non–oxidative atmospheric leach stage, in which nickel, iron and cobalt are partially dissolved, while the copper is precipitated. To understand the nature of the leaching process during this stage of the base metal refining operation, the effects of variations in the key process variables such as temperature, stirring rate, particle size, pulp density, residence time, initial copper and acid concentrations were investigated.

  • Why Nature Chose Selenium Hans J
    Reviews pubs.acs.org/acschemicalbiology Why Nature Chose Selenium Hans J. Reich*, ‡ and Robert J. Hondal*,† † University of Vermont, Department of Biochemistry, 89 Beaumont Ave, Given Laboratory, Room B413, Burlington, Vermont 05405, United States ‡ University of WisconsinMadison, Department of Chemistry, 1101 University Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, United States ABSTRACT: The authors were asked by the Editors of ACS Chemical Biology to write an article titled “Why Nature Chose Selenium” for the occasion of the upcoming bicentennial of the discovery of selenium by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius in 1817 and styled after the famous work of Frank Westheimer on the biological chemistry of phosphate [Westheimer, F. H. (1987) Why Nature Chose Phosphates, Science 235, 1173−1178]. This work gives a history of the important discoveries of the biological processes that selenium participates in, and a point-by-point comparison of the chemistry of selenium with the atom it replaces in biology, sulfur. This analysis shows that redox chemistry is the largest chemical difference between the two chalcogens. This difference is very large for both one-electron and two-electron redox reactions. Much of this difference is due to the inability of selenium to form π bonds of all types. The outer valence electrons of selenium are also more loosely held than those of sulfur. As a result, selenium is a better nucleophile and will react with reactive oxygen species faster than sulfur, but the resulting lack of π-bond character in the Se−O bond means that the Se-oxide can be much more readily reduced in comparison to S-oxides.

  • ABSTRACT RUDD, HAYDEN. Assessing the Vulnerability Of
    ABSTRACT RUDD, HAYDEN. Assessing the Vulnerability of Coastal Plain Groundwater to Flood Water Intrusion using High Resolution Mass Spectrometry. (Under the direction of Dr. Elizabeth Guthrie Nichols). Communities in the North Carolina Coastal Plain (NCCP) depend on safe and reliable groundwater for private well use, agriculture, industry, and livelihoods. Although storm intensity and frequency are predicted to increase in coastal areas, the risk of surficial and confined aquifer contamination from extreme storms is not understood. In September 2018, Hurricane Florence caused extensive flooding across the NCCP for several weeks. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Groundwater Management Branch had just completed sampling of some wells in their monitoring network when Hurricane Florence made landfall. NCDEQ returned to these wells, particularly those flooded by Hurricane Florence, for post-flood sampling. These groundwater samples were analyzed by NCDEQ for regulated semi-volatile organics with few to any detections of regulated organic contaminants. NCDEQ provided NC State the same sample extracts for analysis by high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). This research reports on the non-targeted and suspect-screening HRMS analyses of groundwater from nested monitoring wells. Some monitoring well sites experienced flooding during the study period, and some did not. The goal of this research was to advance our understanding of coastal aquifer susceptibility to flooding by producing the first comprehensive organic chemical profiles of coastal aquifers and by determining if aquifers have distinct organic chemical profiles that change after flooding events. This study used HRMS analyses to produce the first comprehensive organic chemical profiles of 11 aquifers in the coastal plain.
