In the manufacture of precipitated sulfur calcium pentasulfide ($CaS_{5}$, train product) and calcium thiosulfate ($CaS_{2}O_{3}$, by-product) are decomposed simultaneously by hydrochloricacid into coarse (not being uniform) particle-size products. To improve this drawback, calcium thiosulfate was prepared directly without making calcium pentasulfide and obtained $S_{6}$ by the acid-decomposition. In the conversion of hexatomic sulfur to octatomic sulfur, the polymerization and the depolymerization were observed by using purification method. The conversion of $S_{6}$ to $S_{8}$ is proceeded by two steps. The first step reaction is affected by impurities (especially $SO_{2}$ and $H_{2}S$), Hexatomic sulfur is inert to triethylamine for the time being by purification, and thereafter a slow conversion to polymeric and then to octatomic sulfur occurs. Instead of calcium pentasulfide, the acid decomposition of calcium thiosulfate has several advantages; uniformity of particle-size of product, increase of yield, and simplicity of procedure.

Soot particles of diesel and bunker-A with different sulfur contents were generated by pyrolysis with varying conditions of fuel flow rate and residence time in the ceramic tube at $1300^{\circ}C$. TEM and particle size analyzer were used for analysing the primary and the secondary particle size distributions. The results showed that the sulfur content in fuel influences soot inception while the fuel concentration and residence time affects the growth of incepted soot particles.

Sulfur-utilizing autotrophic denitrification relies on an inorganic carbon source to reduce the nitrate by producing sulfuric acid as an end product and can be used for the treatment of wastewaters containing high levels of nitrates. In this study, sulfur-denitrifying bacteria were used in anoxic batch tests with sulfur as the electron donor and nitrate as the electron acceptor. Various medium components were tested under different conditions. Sulfur denitrification can drop the medium pH by producing acid, thus stopping the process half way. To control this mechanism, a 2:1 ratio of sulfur to oyster shell powder was used. Oyster shell powder addition to a sulfur-denitrifying reactor completely removed the nitrate. Using 50, 100, and 200 g of sulfur particles, reaction rate constants of 5.33, 6.29, and $7.96mg^{1/2}/l^{1/2}{\cdot}h$ were obtained, respectively; and using 200 g of sulfur particles showed the highest nitrate removal rates. For different sulfur particle sizes ranging from small (0.85-2.0 mm), medium (2.0-4.0 mm), and large (4.0-4.75 mm), reaction rate constants of 31.56, 10.88, and $6.23mg^{1/2}/l^{1/2}{\cdot}h$ were calculated. The fastest nitrate removal rate was observed for the smallest particle size. Addition of chemical oxygen demand (COD), methanol as the external carbon source, with the autotrophic denitrification in sufficiently alkaline conditions, created a balance between heterotrophic denitrification (which raises the pH) and sulfur-utilizing autotrophic denitrification, which lowers the pH.

아적장에서의 석탄의 탈황 가능성을 조사하기 위하여 Thiobacllus ferrooxidans를 이용한 탈황특성을 연구하였다. 배지의 배수를 고려할 때 야적장에서 미생물 탈황공정을 적용하기 위해서는 석탄입자 크기가 1mm 이상이어야 하고, 균일한 입자분포가 요구됨을 확인하였다. 1~2mm의 입자층과 2~4mm의 입자층에서의 약 70일 동안에 24%와 42%의 pyrite를 제거할 수 있었다. 두 석탄 입자층의 탈황속도는 각락 248mg S/kg coal.day (5,638mg S/kg pyritic-S.day)와 803mg S/kg coal.day(6,805mg S/kg pyritic-S,day)로 현탁배양의 약 15~25%로 낮았다. 석탄층에 액체배지를 순환하지 않고 단지 T.ferrooxidans의 접종만으로도 석탄의 표층부에서는 탈황이 가능하였다. 석탄을 야적장 등에 장기간 보관하는 동안에 고유황 석탄으로부터 미생물 탈황공정을 응용하여 부분적인 pyritic sulfur의 제거가 가능한 것을 알 수 있었다.

Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel on Earth and is used in a wide range of applications. The direct combustion of high-sulfur coal produces a large amount of sulfur dioxide, which is a toxic and corrosive gas. A new superconducting high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) technology was studied to remove sulfur from high sulfur coal. The magnetic separation concentrate was obtained under the optimum parameters, such as a particle size of -200 mesh, a magnetic field strength of 2.0 T, a slurry concentration of 15 g/L, and a slurry flow rate of 600 ml/min. The removal rate of sulfur is up to 59.9%. The method uses a magnetic field to remove sulfur-containing magnetic material from a pulverized coal solution. It is simple process with, high efficiency, and is a new way.

콜로이드법을 이용하여 인산형 연료전지에서 전극촉매로 사용되는 Pt/C 분말을 제조하였다. 이 때 환원제로 사용되는 $Na_2S_2O_4$ (sodium hydrosulfite)로부터 유입되는 황성분이 연료전지의 장기운전시 촉매독으로 작용하는 것으로 알려져 었다. 따라서 다음의 3가지 방법을 이용하여 황을 제거하였다. 첫 번째, 열처리에 의한 황의 제거시 온도가 올라갈수록 황의 제거 효과가 좋지만 너무 높은 온도에서는 백금입자의 크기가 성장하여 입자의 크기가 $50{\AA}$ 이상이 되면 전극성능이 감소하였다. 최적의 열처리 온도는 $400^{\circ}C$ 이었으며, 이 때의 백금입자의 크기는 $35{\sim}40{\AA}$였으며, 반전지 측정시 0.7V의 전압에서 $360mA/cm^2$의 전류밀도를 나타내었다. $400^{\circ}C$에서 1시간, 3시간, 5시간 동안 처리하였을 경우 백금입자의 크기는 변함이 없었고 황제거율은 각각 비슷하였다. 두 번째, 환원성 분위기의 도가니 속에서 열처리를 했을 경우 $900^{\circ}C$의 같은 온도에서 수소분위기에서의 열처리보다는 황의 제거율은 떨어지나 같은 온도에서 백금입자의 성장이 작아 상대적으로 좋은 전극성능을 보여 주었다. 세 번째, 용매추출의 경우에는 초기에 일부의 황을 제거할 수 있음을 확인하였고 이 때의 전극성능은 서로 비슷하였다.

Operational testing of the THIOPAQ^® facility that removes H₂S from landfill gas was performed for 746 days. The average H₂S removal efficiency was 99.4%, and the input quantities of air, NaOH, and nutrients per sulfur load were 13.1 ㎥/ton, 1.5 ㎥/ton, and 28.7 L/ton, respectively. The purity of the bio-sulfur produced from the facility was 94.8%, with 3.3% impurities, except for moisture. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the compositional contents of amino acids and free amino acids of the bio-sulfur surface were 5,308 and 728 mg/kg, respectively. The mean particle size was 3.41 ㎛, which was much smaller than that of chemical sulfur. Based on these results, a high H₂S removal rate of more than 97% is feasible, and high value-added bio-sulfur, which is used as a fungicide because of its hydrophilic characteristics and small size, can be obtained at this facility.

Under the new environmental regulations announced by the government, utilities will have to cut their sulfur dioxide emissions by 60% from 1991 levels by the year of 1999. Sulfur dioxide emissions can be reduced prior to combustion by physical, chemical or biological coal cleaning. The new technology of high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) offers the potential of economic separatoins of a variety of fine, weakly magnetic minerals including inorganic sulfur and many ash-forming minerals from coals. In the present paper, magnetic separation tests have been conducted on Korean anthracite and high-sulfur Chinese coal to investigate the feasibility of these techniques for reducing sulfur content from coals. In wet magnetic separation, the studied operating parameters include particle size, pH, matrix types, feed solids content, feed rate, number of cleaning stages and etc. The results shows that for wet separation, 60~70% of total sulfur was removed from coals with over 80% combustible recovery, on the other hand, for dry separation, 47.6% of total sulfur was removed from coals with 75% recovery.

Fossil fuels such as coal and crude oil contain various organic sulfur compounds. Combustion of these fuels emit sulfur oxides which are considered as msjor air pollutants causing acid rain problem. Among various organic sulfur compounds, aromatic sulfur compounds of thiophenes which constitute major sulfur fractions of heavy oils are not easily removed by hydrodesulfurization. Many peroxidase and hemoproteins are known to oxidize dibenzothiophene (DBT) to dibenzothiophene-sulfoxide(DBT - sulfoxide) then dibenzothiophene- sulfone (DBT-sulfone). The oxidation of DBT by the immobilized hemoproteins in n-octane was increased significantly when the hemoproteins were deposited on celites of the particle size between 0.75 - 1.0 mm and a conventional substrates. such as t-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide. In anhydrous organic solvents with log P values larger than 4.0 DBT was completely oxidized by cumene hydroperoxide catalyzed by cytochrome c deposited on celites.
