Volcanic ash, aerosols, and mineral dust can also be significant phosphate sources, though phosphorus has no real gas phase, unlike other elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. Phosphate compounds in the soil can be taken up by plants and, from there, transferred to animals that eat the plants.
Electric power generating plants that use coal were among the key targets of Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act. Under the first phase of the act, 110 coal-fired electric power plants were required to reduce their sulfur dioxide emissions by 1995 and nitrogen oxide emissions by 1996. Phase 2 of the act requires even greater reduction of sulfur dioxide …
Here we show that, even in the absence of hydrogeochemical evidence for sulfur and nitrogen transformation, an extensive sulfur cycle coupled to nitrate reduction can be unveiled by a combination ...
The phthalocyanine ring's central hydrogen atoms are transferred dynamically from NP-SC 6-H 2 Pc and interact with the formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI 3) perovskite through nitrogen-hydrogen bonding, resulting in α-FAPbI 3 perovskite formation and increasing the sulfur/nitrogen (S/N) passivation capability.
Mangroves, one of the typical blue carbon ecosystems with the methane (CH 4) emission around 279.17 μmol m −2 day −1 on Earth [], have tremendous ecological importance in the global carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) cycles.The metabolic function of biogeochemical cycling processes is determined by biotic (e.g. …
Mining at Kawah Ijen officially began in 1968, and a state company is now running the mine. Luca Catalano Gonzaga—Witness Image Poniman, 35, breaks the sulfur slabs using a metal pole, Nov. 2, 2014.
Labourers at other sulphur-mining sites, such as Canada's oil sands, have better access to adequate protection. The miners of Ijen want to be the last generation to mine sulphur by hand here.
Mount Ijen's gorgeous vistas have captivated travelers for centuries, but in recent years, its sulfur mine has become a controversial tourist attraction. Thirty-six-year-old Hadis has been a ...
In addition, low sulphur content fuel must be used to prevent sulphate formation and subsequent catalyst deactivation. NO can also be oxidized to NO 2 in the DOC, ... Nitrogen dioxide levels in underground mining remain a concern for human health and safety, as well as regulatory compliance. While reductions are achievable from …
Miners then break up the sulfur with metal pipes, haul the pieces out of the crater and carry them several miles to the weighing station. Typically, a miner will make several circuits in a day, carrying loads of 100-200 pounds each. The antiquated process of sulfur mining in Indonesia poses extreme health hazards and safety issues for the …
Nitrogen and sulfur were united in a shotgun marriage. There were actually many weapons present at the ceremony. ... These poor people mine sulfur in Kawah Ijen [1][2] (Ijen Crater) which is in a ...
Microbial sulfur cycling is composed of both assimilatory and dissimilatory sulfur metabolisms (Fig. 2 A).A diverse range of microbial taxa capable of conversion of a variety of organic sulfur (e.g., Cysteine/Cys, Methionine/Met and dimethyl-sulfide/DMS) and inorganic sulfur (e.g., SO 4 2−, SO 3 2− and H 2 S) compounds play critical roles in …
Here, we show that sulfur oxidation coupled to nitrogen fixation is a previously overlooked process providing nitrogen to coastal marine macrophytes. In this study, we recovered 239 metagenome-assembled genomes from a salt marsh dominated by the foundation plant Spartina alterniflora, including diazotrophic sulfate-reducing and …
This study reveals the key factors controlling plant isotope composition, and the use of nitrogen and sulfur isotope composition of aquatic plants can help quantify …
Sulfur dioxide (SO2): Produced when the sulfur in coal reacts with oxygen, ... Nitrogen oxides (NOx): Nitrous oxides are visible as smog and irritate lung tissue, exacerbate asthma, and make people more susceptible to chronic respiratory diseases like pneumonia and influenza. In 2014, US coal power plants emitted more than 1.5 million …
The current study investigated the impact of coal mining on deep soil moisture from the perspective of the absolute value of soil moisture. A combined classical statistics and multi-dimensional geo-statistics approach was employed to analyze the temporal and spatial changes in soil moisture from 0 to 10 m in the mining face of the …
Xiaonan Coal Mine is located in the southeastern parts of Diaobingshan City, covering a mine area of 23 km 2 and with a production capacity of 2.1 million t/a. The …
The international community should consider supporting and regulating sulfur mining to minimize the impacts of the transition and also to avoid ... Removing the nitrogen bottleneck in the world's ...
Sulfur (42.45 wt %, 900 °C) and nitrogen (73.23 wt %, 600 °C) were released from the mixed fuel during pyrolysis. The synergistic effect between corn straw …
Burning coal releases CO, CO 2, sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. Answer: d) 1, 2 and 3. Q. What can be the impact of excessive/inappropriate use of nitrogenous fertilisers in agriculture? ... phosphorus occurs in large amounts as a mineral in phosphate rocks and enters the cycle from erosion and mining activities.
The chemical states of sulfur and nitrogen in high-sulfur coals were investigated via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Twenty-five high-organic-sulfur coal samples of the Late Paleozoic from China were reported, fourteen of which were superhigh organic sulfur (SHOS) coals collected from southern China with organic …
Wyoming is the leading US state in coal mining, all of it strip-mined. In 2020, Wyoming coal mines accounted for over 41% of total US coal production. The main coal production comes from the ten largest mines located in the Powder River Basin (PRB), with six ranked as the largest in the country. ... Sulfur dioxide (SO 2) and nitrogen oxides …
