The treatment of dyeing wastewater is not easy because dyes are mainly aromatic, heterocyclic compounds. The most effective technologies and methods to treat dyeing wastewater are costly and involve materials that are difficult to regenerate after use. Therefore, it is necessary to develop cost-effective, eco-friendly technologies to treat dyeing wastewater. The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of sulfur blue 11 (CI 53235) anionic dye using methyl esterified sericite (ME-sericite) adsorbents in an aqueous solution. The results are discussed in terms of the ME-sericite particle size, temperature, pH value and initial sorption rate according to the initial sulfur blue concentration. In addition, we analyzed the adsorption kinetics using a Pseudo-second-order model with the desorption and reusability. The methyl esterification caused a considerable increase in the specific surface area from 4.45 to $17.62m^2/g$. The ME-sericite adsorbents successfully removed > 98% of the sulfur dye in the aqueous solution. For the adsorption of 1 mg of sulfur dye, approximately 4.6 to 6.6 g/L ME-sericite were required. The desorption process was carried out by mixing a NaOH eluent to desorb 90.56% of the sulfur dye with 2 h of contact time. Thus, the ME-sericite is a promising adsorbent to treat dyeing wastewater due to its low dose requirement, high removal efficiency and inexpensive material.

The aim of this study was to investigate the amount of glucosinolates (GSLs) in kale sprouts (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala) ('TBC') according to different concentrations of sulfur ions in sprout's nutrient solutions (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mM) and to different light sources [Fluorescent lamp, Red, Blue, and Mix (R+B) LED]. Kale sprouts were cultivated in a growth chamber for 13 days in sulfur solutions. Kale sprouts were treated with fluorescent lamp and LED light sources for 5 days, from eight days after sowing to harvest. Amount of seven types of GSLs (progoitrin, sinigrin, 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin, glucobrassicin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin, gluconasturtiin, and neoglucobrassicin) were measured in kale sprouts after harvest. The total GSL content was influenced by different sulfur solution concentration, and it was the highest at S 0.5 mM ($172.54{\mu}mol{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$) and the lowest at S 2.0 mM ($163.09{\mu}mol{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$). The GSL content was influenced by different light source, and it was the highest with Red LED ($159.23{\mu}mol{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$) and the lowest with Blue LED ($147.57{\mu}mol{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$). As the sulfur solution concentration increased under all light source, progoitrin and sinigrin contents tended to decrease while glucobrassicin content showed an upward tendency for all of the light sources. The content of glucobrassicin was higher than that of progitrin when treated with sulfur solutions for all LED light sources. Sinigrin, which has excellent anti-cancer effects, showed the highest rate (92.2%) among all the GSLs, under all of the light sources.

The sulfur pressure and TRA(rapid thermal annealing) conditions of the fabricated SrS:CuCl TFEL devices were optimized to improve blue color luminance. The thickness of the phosphor layer of SrS:CuCl TFEL devices fabricated by electron beam deposition system was 6000 ~ 8000 ${\AA}$. The fabricated TFEL devices were annealed at 800 $^{\circ}C$ for 3 min. It was shown that the crystallinity of SrS:CuCl phosphor was improved by an increase in RTA temperature and RTA time. Blue color was emitted from the TFEL device with emission peak wavelength of 468 nm and 500 nm. The CIE color coordinates were x = 0.21, y = 0.33. The luminance($L_{40}$) of TFEL device strongly depended on the sulfur pressure of deposition chamber and increased from 262 cd/$m^2$ to 728 cd/m2 as the sulfur pressure increased from $8{\times}10^{-6}$ torr to $2{\times}10^{-5}$ torr.

Sulfur dioxide discharged from the factories in Yeochun industrial complex severely damaged to the growth of oyster mushrooms. The continuous monitoring indicated that high concentration of sulfur dioxide was repeatedly detected in Kwang-Yang and Seung-Ju. The first injury symptoms on the mushroom fruit bodies were observed a day later when sulfur dioxide was detected over 300 ppb. Under the high concentration of sulfur dioxide exposure, the young fruit bodies showed blight and sudden death and the mature fruit bodies turned to blue-brown and frequently progressed to blight. The symptoms at Spring cropping were more severe than those at Autumn cropping. The severity was associated with the frequency of sulfur dioxide monitored. However, sulfur content in the mushroom fruit bodies and culture media did not show clear differences between the injured mushroom from Yeochun industrial complex areas and normal ones from no damaged areas.

SrS:Ce thin films for blue EL devices were prepared by Hot Wall Method and their crystallographic and optical characteristics were investigated by various methods. Deposition rates were increased with SrS cell temperature, but the rates were independent on substrate temperature and sulfur pressure. The optical and crystallographic characteristics were strongly affected by deposition rates. The band gap energies obtained by optical transmission spectra and Full Width at Half Maximum of (200) plane in X-ray diffraction patterns were found at 4.5-4.6eV and $0.22~0.26^{\circ}$, respectively. The photoluminescence from SrS:Ce thin tiles showed a greenish blue omission peaked at 470 and 540nm.

Volatile flavor compounds in meat of the blue crab Portunus trituberculatus were compared using vacuum simultaneous steam distillation-solvent extraction (V-SDE) and solid phase microextraction (SPME)/ gas chromatography (GC)/ mass selective detection (MSD) methods. A total of 100 volatile flavor compounds were identified by both methods: 77 by V-SDE and 59 by SPME. These compounds were composed of 17 aldehydes, 12 ketones, 19 alcohols, 5 esters, 4 sulfur-containing compounds, 6 nitrogen-containing compounds, 23 aromatic compounds, 6 hydrocarbons, 2 terpenes, and 6 miscellaneous compounds. Although more compounds were detected using V-SDE than using SPME, the levels of all groups detected, except esters, were higher using SPME than using V-SDE. In addition to trimethylamine, aldehydes, and aromatic compounds, the S- and N-containing compounds with low thresholds are thought to have positive roles for flavors in the meat of the blue crab.

Oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, was exposed to 0.625, 1.25, 2.5 and 5.0 ppm $SO_2$ for 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes at the tiny button stage in order to study the effect of sulfur dioxide on growth and cap discoloration of the mushroom. The cap color was changed from grey to greyish blue at low dosage of sulfur dioxide, and with the lapse of exposing time and rasing sulfur dioxide concentration up, the color was changed to light brown and dark brown. The cap dicoloration was begun by the exposure of sulfur dioxide to 0.625 ppm for 120 minutes, to 1.25 ppm for 30 minutes and to 2.5 ppm for 15 minutes. By the exposure of sulfur dioxide to 1.25 ppm for 120 minutes, to 2.5 ppm for 30 minutes, its growth was inhibited, but the fruit body was died by the exposure of the gas to 2.5 ppm for 180 minutes and to 5.0 ppm for 60 minutes. Sulfur dioxide inhibited conspicuously the development of basidia and basidiospores of the mushroom and 20 to 25 percent of basidiospores formed were abnormal. Ethylene production by mushroom exposed to sulfur dioxide was not recognized.

In present study, an alternative process for manufacturing ultra marine blue by using kaolin, sulfur, sodium carbonate, silica, and rosin was investigated. From the experiments, it was found in the reductive calcination process that the temperature variation with the bed height of input materials is relatively high due to the inadequate thermal conductivity of them. It was also found that the color of the ultramarine blue manufactured is sensitive for the shape of the input materials and the calcinations conditions, and specially the heating rate is very important to form ultramarine. For manufacturing green ultramarine by using sulfur, sodium carbonate, silicon, and pine resin, an optimum condition was investigated to be the heating rate region below $0.6^{\circ}C/min$, the reaction temperature of $850^{\circ}C$ and the reaction time of 4 hr. At the oxidative calcination process to manufacture ultra marine blue from green ultramarine, the optimum flow rate of air is $500{\sim}550\;{\ell}/kg$ (green ultramarine) and the reaction temperature is $500{\sim}550^{\circ}C$.

A systematic study on isoelectronic impurities in thin-film eletroluminescent devices (TFELD) has been made on the basis of the experimental analysis aimed at a survey for the blue-emitting materials. Codoping effects of isoelectronic impurities, such as oxygen(O), tellurium(Te), and lithium(Li), on the emissive characteristics of ZnS:Ce$^{3+}$ and ZnS:Tm$^{3+}$TFELD have been investigated by means of the X-ray diffraction studies, the Auger electron spectroscopy, the cathodoluminescent spectra, and the electroluminescent spectra. Experiment results reveal that oxygen codoping gives rise to an increase of the luminance, due to a suppression of the nonradiative energy transfer via sulfur vacancies Te codoping in ZnS:Ce$^{3+}$ TFELD result in a large change in the crystal field around Ce$^{3+}$ ions. Li codoping in ZnS:Tm$^{3+}$ TFELD causes the luminance to increase slightly, due to a lowering in the symmetry of Tm$^{3+}$ions. Likewise, the experimental results suggest strongly that an Auger-type enegy loss via lattece defects such an sulfur vacancies acts as a non-emissive in TFELD.ve in TFELD.

Treatment of a solution of $CuCl_2$ in dimethyl phosphate (DMP) with DMSO under nitrogen atmosphere afforded to a light blue fluorescence powder. Slow evaporation of $H_2O$-DMSO solution of this powder resulted in blue-sky crystals of a new polymeric Cu(II) complex, with a unit cell composed of $Cu_2(DMP)_4$(DMSO), (1). The crystal and molecular structure of the complex acquired crystallographically. Compound (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group $P2_1$/n with a = 12.8920(11) $\AA$, b = 13.1966(11) $\AA$, c = 14.7926(13) $\AA$, $\alpha$ = 90$^{\circ}$, $\beta$ = 98.943(2)$^{\circ}$, $\gamma$ = 90$^{\circ}$, V= 2486.1(4) ${\AA}^3$, and Z = 4. A square pyramidal environment for the metal center was established by coordination of oxygen atoms of four bridging DMP ligands in the basal positions and binding a tri-centered oxygen atom of DMSO in the apical disposition of Cu(II). The sixth position was also affected by a weak interaction with the sulfur atom of another DMSO. The phosphorous atom in the bridging DMP was arranged in a deformed tetrahedron with (gg) conformation for methyl esters with $C_{2v}$ symmetry.
