A photoelectron spectrum is reported for gas-phase SO(4)(-) formed in an electron-impact ionized free jet of SO(2)(1%)/O(2)(10%)/Ar. The vertical detachment energy (VDE) of the SO(4)(-) species is determined to be 3.78 +/- 0.02 eV, which is significantly smaller than the VDE value reported for the sulfur-centered form of SO(4)(-) extracted from an Na(2)S(2)O(8) solution. With the aid of MP2/6-311+G(2df) calculations, the newly formed species is identified as a peroxy form of SO(4)(-), which is well described as OOSO(2)(-)(C(1), (2)A) having an S-O linkage between the O(2) and SO(2) units. The electronic properties of OOSO(2)(-) are characterized by the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) constructed by an out-of-phase superposition of the 1a(2) orbital of SO(2) and the half-filled 2ppi(g)* of O(2)(-). On the basis of these findings, a possible formation mechanism of OOSO(2)(-) is discussed in terms of a "solvent-mediated" addition reaction, where O(2)(-) stabilized by solvation attacks SO(2) while retaining the 2ppi(g)* excess electron.

This study investigates the removal efficiency of the toxic element antimony (Sb(V)) using a combined system incorporating ion exchange resins and ion exchange membranes to form an Electrodeionization (EDI) cell. The impact of various operational parameters, including applied potential, flow rate, Na₂SO₄ concentration in the electrode compartment, and the presence of interfering ions, on Sb(V) removal was systematically examined. Results indicate that increasing the applied potential significantly enhances Sb(V) removal, achieving a maximum removal rate of 99% at 40 V and 50 V, with the residual Sb(V) concentrations reducing to 60 μg/L and 9 μg/L, respectively.

Solar evaporation exhibits significant potential for the treatment of high-salt organic wastewater. However, it's also confronted with challenges due to the accumulation of organic pollutants and salts in the concentrated wastewater following evaporation, which compromises the long-term stability of evaporation unit and complicates subsequent treatment processes. To address these challenges, a volumetric solar interfacial evaporation (V-SIE) system by integrating FeO HO nanofluids and peroxydisulfate (PDS) were proposed in this study.

Advanced oxidation processes employing peroxymonosulfate (PMS) show significant promise for wastewater treatment. However, PMS activation typically relies on energy- and chemically intensive techniques due to its relatively low reactivity. Hence, the exploration of novel and energy-efficient approaches, such as the piezoelectric effect, for PMS activation is of paramount importance.

Sulfur-containing volatile organic compounds emitted during wildfire events, such as dimethyl sulfide, are known to form secondary aerosols containing inorganic sulfate (SO ) and surfactant-like organic compounds; however, little is known about the fate of sulfur in other emitted reduced organosulfur species. This study aimed to determine the sulfurous product distribution resulting from the nighttime oxidation of thiophene as a model system. Ion chromatography (IC) and aerosol mass spectrometry (a mini aerosol mass spectrometer, mAMS) were used to constrain the proportions of sulfurous compounds produced under wildfire-relevant conditions ([NO]/[O] = 0.

In this study, we report the syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of ternary copper(II) coordination compounds with l-homoserine (l-Hhser) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). Six new coordination compounds were obtained: [Cu(l-hser)(HO)(phen)]SO·5HO (), [Cu(μ-l-hser)(HO)(phen)][Cu(l-hser)(HO)(phen)](SO)∙12HO (), {[Cu(μ-l-hser)(HO)(phen)][Cu(μ-l-hser)(phen)]SO·6HO} (), {[Cu(μ-l-hser)(HO)(phen)]SO·3HO} (), [Cu(l-hser)(HO)(phen)][Cu(l-hser)(CHOH)(phen)]SO·4HO () and {[Cu(l-hser)(CHOH)(phen)][Cu(μ-l-hser)(phen)]SO·5CHOH} () It was shown that slight differences in water content in the synthetic mixtures highly influence the final product, so in some cases, two or three different products were obtained. The compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ESR spectroscopy.
