Its most important physical properties are summarized in Table 1. Since the critical temperature is very high, sulfur dioxide can easily be condensed by compression to give a colorless, readily mobile liquid [1, 2].

Batch and column experiments were conducted to test the oxidation ability of the material. Comparisons with the oxidizing agents usually used in arsenic treatment systems were also conducted. In addition, the material has been tested coupled with an iron-based arsenic sorbent, in order to verify its suitability for the dearsenication of drinking waters. IodAC exhibited a high and lasting oxidation potential, since the column tests executed on water spiked with 50 mg/L of arsenic (100% arsenite) showed that 1 cc of IodAC (30 wt% I2) can oxidize about 25 mg of As(III) (0.33 mmol) before showing a dwindling in the oxidation ability. Moreover, an improvement of the arsenic sorption capability of the tested sorbent was also proved. The results confirmed that IodAC is suitable for implementation in water dearsenication plants, in place of the commonly used oxidizing agents, such as sodium hypochlorite or potassium permanganate, and in association with arsenic sorbents.

  • SO2 Removal by NH3 Gas Injection: Effects of Temperature and Moisture Content

Pratim Biswas and Tim C. Keener Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio 45221 -0071 The removal of SO2 by NH3 gas injection at various temperatures and moisture contents has been studied experimentally. The product compositions of the NH3-SO2-HzO vapor reactions were also reported. A thermodynamic analysis was carried out to predict the SO2 removal as well as the product compositions. Both the experimental results and thermodynamic analysis indicated that SO2 removal and the product compositions are sensitive to the reaction temperature. Moisture content, once in large excess of the stoichiometric requirement, does not have a strong effect on the product compositions but plays an important role in the SO2 removal.

  • Comparative Study of Oxidants in Removal of Chemical Oxygen Demand from the Wastewater (IJIRST/ Volume 4 / Issue 1/ 011)
    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 4 | Issue 1 | June 2017 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Comparative Study of Oxidants in Removal of Chemical Oxygen Demand from the Wastewater Prof Dr K N Sheth Kavita V Italia Director PG Student Geetanjali Institute of Technical Studies, Udaipur Department of Environmental Engineering Institute of Science & Technology for Advanced Studies & Research, Vallabh Vidyanagar Abstract Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) test involves chemical oxidation using chromic acid as a strong oxidizer. COD of a wastewater sample is the amount of oxidant- potassium dichromate that reacts with the sample when it is heated for 2 hours under controlled environmental conditions and result is expressed as mg of oxidant consumed per liter of a given sample of wastewater. COD can be helpful in determining the quantity required for dilution needed for conducting Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) five day test. In the present investigation attempts have been made to use other oxidants like hydrogen peroxide H2O2, sodium hypo-chlorite, calcium hypo-chlorite and potassium permanganate for measurement of COD by standard method and compare the results obtained using potassium dichromate as strong oxidant. Experiments were carried out for each oxidizing agent for COD removal at temperatures like 1000C, 750C and 500C. The duration of exposure time in each experimental set up was taken as temperature wise, for 1000C, it was 1-5 minutes , for 750C it was 20-40 minutes and for 500C it was 45-75 minutes. It was found that temperature plays very important role in in deciding the exposure time to be allocated for reduction of COD.

  • 20 More About Oxidation–Reduction Reactions
    More About 20 Oxidation–Reduction Reactions OOC n important group of organic reactions consists of those that O A involve the transfer of electrons C from one molecule to another. Organic chemists H OH use these reactions—called oxidation–reduction reactions or redox reactions—to synthesize a large O variety of compounds. Redox reactions are also important C in biological systems because many of these reactions produce HH energy. You have seen a number of oxidation and reduction reactions in other chapters, but discussing them as a group will give you the opportunity to CH3OH compare them. In an oxidation–reduction reaction, one compound loses electrons and one com- pound gains electrons. The compound that loses electrons is oxidized, and the one that gains electrons is reduced. One way to remember the difference between oxidation and reduction is with the phrase “LEO the lion says GER”: Loss of Electrons is Oxi- dation; Gain of Electrons is Reduction. The following is an example of an oxidation–reduction reaction involving inorganic reagents: Cu+ + Fe3+ ¡ Cu2+ + Fe2+ In this reaction,Cu+ loses an electron, so Cu+ is oxidized. Fe3+ gains an electron, so Fe3+ is reduced. The reaction demonstrates two important points about oxidation– reduction reactions. First, oxidation is always coupled with reduction. In other words, a compound cannot gain electrons (be reduced) unless another compound in the reaction simultaneously loses electrons (is oxidized). Second, the compound that is oxidized (Cu+) is called the reducing agent because it loses the electrons that are used to reduce the other compound (Fe3+). Similarly, the compound that is reduced (Fe3+) is called the oxidizing agent because it gains the electrons given up by the other compound (Cu+) when it is oxidized.

  • Hydrogen Peroxide Cas #7722-84-1
    HYDROGEN PEROXIDE CAS #7722-84-1 Division of Toxicology ToxFAQsTM April 2002 This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about hydrogen peroxicde. For more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737. This fact sheet is one in a series of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. HIGHLIGHTS: Hydrogen peroxide is a manufactured chemical, although small amounts of hydrogen peroxide gas may occur naturally in the air. Low exposure may occur from use at home; higher exposures may occur from industrial use. Exposure to hydrogen peroxide can cause irritation of the eyes, throat, respiratory airway, and skin. Drinking concentrated liquid can cause mild to severe gastrointestinal effects. This substance has been found in at least 18 of the 1,585 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

  • Chapter 2 Web Text Box 4 Hocl, an Acid and an Oxidizing Agent
    Chapter 2 Web Text Box 4 HOCl, an acid and an oxidizing agent Chlorine bleach is a solution of sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl. This is an ionic compound and in water exists as Na+ and OCl- ions. Hypochlorite is the deprotonated form of hypochlorous acid HOCl, which is a very weak acid: its pKa is 7.53. Thus in the NaOCl solution some of the hypochlorite ions grab an H+ from water, leaving OH- behind. The result is that the solution is alkaline: usually about pH 11, although more concentrated solutions have an even higher pH. You should be able to calculate what fraction of the total hypochlorite is protonated at pH 11: check that you can! Try the calculation yourself, then check the answer in the box below! The pKa of hypochlorous acid HOCl is 7.53. What percentage of the total hypochlorite is protonated at pH 11.0; that is, calculate the value of 100 x [HOCl] / ( [HOCl] + [OCl-] )? Although HOCl is a very weak acid the hypochlorous ion is a strong oxidizing agent and will readily give up the oxygen atom leaving a simple chloride ion Cl-. One of the chemical groups that it attacks is the –SH side group on the amino acid cysteine. Two cysteine side chains are oxidized and form a disulfide bond: Chlorine bleach: an illustration of acid/base and oxidation/reduction reactions The cysteines have been oxidized because they have lost hydrogen atoms. Notice the distinction between deprotonation, the loss of H+, which is what we see in the reaction - + HOCl + H2O → OCl + H3O and the loss of complete hydrogen atoms, which is what has happened to the cysteines.
