DRUSCHEL, *ROBERT J. HAMERS, and JILLIAN F. BANFIELD † 1Departments of Geology and Geophysics and 2Chemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706 USA (Received October 16, 2002; accepted in revised form May 30, 2003) 2Ϫ Abstract—Polythionates (SxO6 ) are important in redox transformations involving many sulfur compounds. Here we investigate the oxidation kinetics and mechanisms of trithionate and tetrathionate oxidation between pH 0.4 and pH 2 in the presence of Fe3ϩ and/or oxygen. In these solutions, Fe3ϩ plus oxygen oxidizes tetrathionate and trithionate at least an order of magnitude faster than oxygen alone. Kinetic measurements, coupled with density functional calculations, suggest that the rate-limiting step for tetrathionate oxidation involves Fe3ϩ attachment, followed by electron density shifts that result in formation of a sulfite radical and 0 S3O3 derivatives. The overall reaction orders for trithionate and tetrathionate are fractional due to rearrange- ment reactions and side reactions between reactants and intermediate products. The pseudo-first order rate coefficients for tetrathionate range from 10Ϫ11 sϪ1 at 25°C to 10Ϫ8 sϪ1 at 70°C, compared to 2 ϫ 10Ϫ7 sϪ1 Ϯ at 35 °C for trithionate. The apparent activation energy (EA) for tetrathionate oxidation at pH 1.5 is 104.5 4.13 kJ/mol.

  • Treatment of Spent Caustic from Sodium Dithionate Industry Effluent Using Electrochemical Membrane Cell
    ISSN: 2319-8753 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Vol. 3, Issue 7, July 2014 Treatment of Spent Caustic from Sodium Dithionate Industry Effluent using Electrochemical Membrane Cell S.A.T.Shanmugapriya1, Lashmipriya2 Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, Alagappa Chettiar College of Engineering and Technology, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, India1 P.G. Scholar, Alagappa Chettiar College of Engineering and Technology, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, India2 ABSTRACT: In this paper treatment of caustic from Sodium dithionate industry effluent is presented. Sodium dithionate industry effluent very harmful to environment in many ways. Effluent can contaminate soil and ground water if landfilling is adopted. It will also decrease dissolved oxygen in water bodies and harmful to aquatic organisms. Effluent will affect the agricultural field, irrigation water source as well as drinking water. Incineration of residues from industry will leads to acid rain because they contain sulfur compounds. So the treatment before disposal of effluent is necessary . From the characterization study concluded that treatment is necessary for the effluent before disposal. Among various methods for industrial waste water treatment electrochemical membrane process was selected because of its attractiveness & economical method. The study was carried out using TSIA anode ( System I) and Pt/Ti anodes (System II) . In system I, experiment was carried out in a constant current density of 50 mA/cm2 at 4 hour duration. The variation of potential, pH, concentration of sodium thiosulfate, sodium formate and sodium hydroxide with respect to time were analysed. Since chemical and electrochemical reactions takes place in system I, recovered products from system I were caustic, sulfate and sulfur.

These used agents have adverse effects on the environment. In general, for the dyeing with sulphur dyes, a reducing agent is used to transform the dye molecule to a water soluble leuco form that can diffuse into the fibre. In this study, three reducing agents were used : the sodium sulphide, sodium dithionite and glucose as an environmentally friendly reducer. To compare their effect on the reduction of the sullphur dyestuff, the redox potential, pH and the colour yield (K/S) were measured according to the concentration of reducing agent and caustic soda concentration. Results of leuco sulphur black B reduction by the different reducing agents were evaluated by measuring the colour yield (K/S) and the brightness variation after the washing process. The obtained results showed that glucose can offer some scientifically results similar to those done with sodium sulphide which can give for the reduction of sulphur dyestuff Keywords: Sulphur dye, Dyeing, Reduction, Reducing Agent, Glucose Introduction Cellulosic substrates especially cotton, rayon, and paper, are very hydrophilic and, therefore, require hydrophilic soluble dyes for their coloration from a dye bath.
