#sulfur — Public Fediverse posts

So, the rain we've gotten in Southern #Maine seems pretty clear (not full of ashes), but it does not smell good. No #petrichlor . Maybe an undertone of stale smoke? Not pleasant... Also #AlkalineRain is a thing like #AcidRain. While it would seem to neutralize Acid Rain, it ends up having the opposite effect.

Can Smoke Particles Neutralize or Enhance Acid Rain?

Smoke can neutralize acid if it contains alkaline ash, but often provides surfaces that accelerate acid formation.

"Smoke particles are chemically complex and can either neutralize or enhance the acidity of rain depending on their composition. Some wildfire smoke contains alkaline ash, which can help neutralize acidic gases in the atmosphere, potentially making the resulting rain less corrosive.

"However, many smoke particles also contain #sulfur and #nitrogen compounds that act as precursors to acid formation. Furthermore, the large surface area of fine smoke particles provides a platform for acidic gases to condense and react, which can lead to more concentrated acidic deposition.

The net effect depends on the type of fuel burned and the age of the smoke plume as it moves through the atmosphere."

In 2020, we rightly moved to clean our air by slashing shipping emissions. But in doing so, we triggered a 'Termination Shock'—ripping away the mask and unmasking the full heat of the planet. Today, we’re looking at how cleaning our lungs accidentally set our oceans on fire.

The Termination Shock: Our Accidental Sunshield

What if the biggest environmental win of the last decade actually hit the accelerator on global warming? We’ve spent years in a climate tug-of-war, with greenhouse gases pulling temperatures up while an invisible blanket of sulfate pollution from ships acted as an accidental sunshield, bouncing sunlight back into space.

New paper from my second PostDoc is published!

Novak et al.: Sulfur disproportionation occurs globally across anoxic habitats and has multiple mechanisms of independent evolutionary origin https://academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ismejo/wrag042/8503335

Some #bacteria are able to gain energy by metabolizing elemental #sulfur alone—no other chemical needed. We investigate which genes may be responsible for this unique #metabolism and speculate about its evolutionary origins.

New #battery idea gets lots of power out of unusual #sulfur #chemistry
Rather than being used as a storage material, the sulfur gives up electrons.
A team of researchers in #China has managed to turn sulfur’s complex chemistry into a strength, making it the primary electron donor in a #sodiumsulfur battery that also relies on chlorine for its chemistry. The result, at least in the lab, is an impressive energy per weight with extremely inexpensive materials.

https://daletra.com/slipknot/lyrics/sulfur.html

Billions of years ago, #Earth’s #atmosphere was hostile, with barely any #oxygen and #toxic conditions for #life. Researchers from the Earth-Life Science Institute studied #Japan’s #iron-rich hot #springs, which mimic the ancient #oceans, to uncover how early #microbes survived. They discovered communities of #bacteria that thrived on iron and tiny amounts of oxygen, forming #ecosystems that recycled elements like #carbon, #nitrogen, and #sulfur
