Hermen Frasch in 1894 devised a brilliant technique of obtaining sulphur from these deposits. His technique was practical, simple and cost effective. In this process, now called the Frasch process, a system of three concentric pipes is sunk into the earth to reach the sulphur beds (about 300m deep).

How do you extract Au from calco-pyrite rock?

You can't extract what ain't there. Why do you think it's called FOOL'S gold? Iron Pyrites = FeS2 = Iron & Sulphur = No gold. Chalcpyrites =Cu2S = Copper & Sulphur ≠ gold.


How to apply sulphur to plants effectively?

What effect does sulfur dioxide have on plants?

Sulphur dioxide is very harmful to plants and it can kill them. Sulphur Dioxide is the main gas produced by the burning of coal and it is cleared into the atmosphere. Moreover Sulphur Dioxide can react with water vapour in the atmosphere and produce a dangerous acid called sulphuric acid which is the acid in acid rain. Sulphuric acid can break plants (and animals) down, therefore the plants die. i love does nuts

Why are scrubbers used to reduce sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere?

Sulphur scrubbers on coal fired power plants use a multistage system:The stack gasses containing sulphur dioxide gas are passed over a catalytic bed with the addition of extra oxygen to convert the sulphur dioxide gas to sulphur trioxide gas.The stack gasses now containing sulphur trioxide gas are passed through a chamber containing water spray and the sulphur trioxide gas dissolves in the water producing highly concentrated sulphuric acid, which precipitates out of the stack gasses as a liquid.The concentrated sulphuric acid is concentrated more producing "Oleum" a very oily industrial grade of sulphuric acid. "Oleum" can often be sold to chemical companies with no further processing.If the market for "Oleum" does not offer enough demand, then it can be processed through additional steps to extract the dry sulphur as yellow crystals called "flowers of sulphur".


What is the gas humans give of to plants?

Carbon dioxide. The plants extract the carbon and release oxygen.


Why is acid rain acidic?

All plants and animals must have sulphur. Coal and oil are made from old plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. They contain sulphur. Refineries can remove most of the sulphur from most of the oil turned into fuel oil or gasoline. Refineries, factories and power plants can remove the sulphur dioxide from their smokestacks. Frequently they do not. When they do not, the sulphur dioxide turns into sulphur trioxide. The Sulphur trioxide then when the sulphur trioxide runs into a cloud or a drop of water, it turns into sulphuric acid. When it falls to earth, it falls as acid rain. Acid rain is sulphuric acid falling to earth. In North Florida the rain accompanying the first cold front of the fall changed the pH of a swimming pool from 8 to 4. That indicates the amount of acid in the air over the Midwest and Midsouth of the United States. Right now technology exists to rid smokestacks of sulphuric acid.


What is the difference between mint and peppermint extract?
