EFFECT of MIXTURES of CARBON DISULFIDE and METHYLISOTHIOCYANATE on SURVIVAL of WOOD-COLONIZING FUNGI Edwin F EFFECT OF MIXTURES OF CARBON DISULFIDE AND METHYLISOTHIOCYANATE ON SURVIVAL OF WOOD-COLONIZING FUNGI Edwin F. Canessa Graduate Student and Jefrey J. Morrell Associate Professor Department of Forest Products Oregon State University Corvallis, OR 9733 1 (Received October 1994) ABSTRACT The fungitoxicity of carbon disulfide (CS,), methylisothiocyanate (MITC), or a mixture of these two gases, to selected wood-degrading fungi was studied by using a fumigation apparatus. Both gases are important decomposition products of metham sodium, the most commonly used fumigant for internal treatment of large wood members. Carbon disulfide (up to 8,000-9,000 ppm) was mildly toxic to most of the test fungi, and MITC (up to 18 ppm) was uniformly toxic. A combination of sublethal levels of both gases (3,000-4,000 ppm CS2/5 ppm MITC) was more toxic than either chemical alone. The results suggest a synergism between various metham sodium decomposition products, and this inter- action may account for the protection afforded by this treatment. Further studies of other decom- position products are suggested. Keywords: Fumigant, metham sodium, carbon disulfide, methylisothiocyanate, fungitoxicity.

  • 1997-11-12 Carbon Disulfide As Federal Hazardous Air Pollutant
    CARBON DISULFIDE Carbon disulfide is a federal hazardous air pollutant and was identified as a toxic air contaminant in April 1993 under AB 2728. CAS Registry Number: 75-15-0 CS2 Molecular Formula: CS2 Carbon disulfide is a highly refractive, mobile, and very flammable liquid. The purest distillates have a sweet odor. However, the usual commercial and reagent grades of carbon disulfide are foul smelling. It burns with a blue flame to form carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Liquid carbon disulfide will attack some forms of plastics, rubber, and coatings but is non- corrosive to most commercial structural materials at ordinary temperatures. It is miscible in water, alcohol, oils, chloroform, and ether (Merck, 1989). Physical Properties of Carbon Disulfide Synonyms: carbon bisulfide; carbon disulphide; carbon sulfide; sulphocarbonic anhydride; sulphuret of carbon; dithiocarbonic anhydride Molecular Weight: 76.14 Boiling Point: 46.5 oC Melting Point: -111.5 oC Vapor Density: 2.67 (air =1) Flash Point: -30 oC (closed cup) Density/Specific Gravity: 1.2632 at 20/4 oC (water = 1) Critical Temperature: 280 oC Vapor Pressure: 297 mm Hg at 20 oC Log Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient: 1.70 - 4.16 Conversion Factor: 1 ppm = 3.11 mg/m3 (Howard, 1990; HSDB, 1991; Merck, 1989; U.S. EPA, 1994a) SOURCES AND EMISSIONS A. Sources Carbon disulfide is used in the preparation of rayon viscose fibers, and as a solvent for lipids, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, bromine, iodine, rubber, resins, and waxes (Proctor et al, 1991).

  • Structural Modification of Xanthate Collectors to Enhance the Flotation

The preparation, recovery performance, and mechanism of adsorption of this compound to chalcopyrite is discussed. BIBX was synthesized using a one-pot approach with superior efficiency, which has important commercial implications. BIBX’s performance in the recovery of and mechanism of adsorption to chalcopyrite was investigated via flotation tests, adsorption quantity measurements, FTIR spectroscopy, X- ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results show that BIBX displays a substantially stronger collecting ability toward chalcopyrite than sodium isobutyl xanthate and O-isopropyl-N- ethylthionocarbamate. Moreover, BIBX displays superior selectivity for chalcopyrite compared to pyrite. The adsorption data indicate that BIBX can be applied under slightly acidic or alkaline conditions. BIBX behaves like a bidentate ligand, bonding with the chalcopyrite copper through the thiol sulfur and carbonyl oxygen atoms. These findings are supported by FTIR and XPS data. DFT calculations predict two distinct adsorption geometries, one with one Cu atom to form a six-membered ring complex and another with two Cu atoms to form an “irregular pentagon”-shaped complex. 1.

Abstract: Carbon disulfide (CS2), a precursor to the long-lived carbonyl sulphide (OCS) is one of the main contributors to the atmospheric sulfate layer. The annual fluxes from its sources and sinks are investigated using a 3-D chemistry transport model, STOCHEM-CRI. In terms of the flux analysis, the oxidation of CS2 by OH is found to be the main removal process (76–88% of the total loss) and the dry deposition loss contributes 11–24% to the total loss of CS2. The global burden of CS2 was calculated, varying between 6.1 to 19.2 Tg and the lifetime of CS2 was determined to be within the range of 2.8–3.4 days. The global distribution of CS2 found the Northern Hemisphere (NH) continental landmasses to be the areas of concentration maxima with peak concentrations reaching up to 20 ppt during June-July-August (J-J-A) season and 40 ppt during December-January-February (D-J-F) season in anthropogenic source regions.

Sodium isopropyl xanthate (Na-iPrX), as the most effective salt in a real ore flotation process, was also produced at an industrial level and introduced as a collector for copper ores. In order to reduce toxicity of the flotation process and improve sustainability by minimising environmental impacts, collector efficiency and selectivity in the flotation process were studied in relation to possible synergism of xanthates combined with the derived biomass and biodegradable green reagents levulinic acid, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furanacrylic acid (HMFA), and condensation product of hydroxymethylfurfural and levulinic acid.
