  2. Sulfur dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_dioxide

    Sulfur dioxide is an intermediate in the production of sulfuric acid, being converted to sulfur trioxide, and then to oleum, which is made into sulfuric acid. Sulfur dioxide for this purpose is made when sulfur combines with oxygen. The method of converting sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid is called the contact process. Several million tons are ...

  3. Contact process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_process

    Purification of the air and sulfur dioxide (SO 2) is necessary to avoid catalyst poisoning (i.e. removing catalytic activities). The gas is then washed with water and dried with sulfuric acid. To conserve energy, the mixture is heated by exhaust gases from the catalytic converter by heat exchangers. Sulfur dioxide and dioxygen then react as ...

  4. SO2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So2

    Sulfur dioxide (SO 2), a colorless gas with a pungent smell Sulfonyl group (R-SO 2-R), a functional group found primarily in sulfones, or a substituent; SO(2), special orthogonal group of degree 2 in mathematics; Oxygen saturation (SO 2), the concentration of oxygen dissolved in a medium

  5. Volcanic gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_gas

    Sulphur dioxide (SO 2) absorbs strongly in the ultraviolet wavelengths and has low background concentrations in the atmosphere. These characteristics make sulphur dioxide a good target for volcanic gas monitoring. It can be detected by satellite-based instruments, which allow for global monitoring, and by ground-based instruments such as DOAS.

  6. Claus process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_process

    These by-product gases may also contain hydrogen cyanide, hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide or ammonia. Gases with an H 2 S content of over 25% are suitable for the recovery of sulfur in straight-through Claus plants while alternate configurations such as a split-flow set up or feed and air preheating can be used to process leaner feeds.

  7. Sewer gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewer_gas

    Sewer gas is a complex, generally obnoxious smelling mixture of toxic and nontoxic gases produced and collected in sewage systems by the decomposition of organic household or industrial wastes, typical components of sewage. [1] Sewer gases may include hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, methane, esters, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

  8. Sulfurous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfurous_acid

    However, the molecule has been detected in the gas phase in 1988 by the dissociative ionization of diethyl sulfite. [5] The conjugate bases of this elusive acid are, however, common anions, bisulfite (or hydrogen sulfite) and sulfite. Sulfurous acid is an intermediate species in the formation of acid rain from sulfur dioxide. [6]

  9. Wellman–Lord process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellman–Lord_process

    The Wellman–Lord process is a regenerable process to remove sulfur dioxide from flue gas (flue-gas desulfurization) without creating a throwaway sludge product.. In this process, sulfur dioxide from flue gas is absorbed in a sodium sulfite solution in water forming sodium bisulfite; other components of flue gas are not absorbed.
