Reactions of hypobromous acid with dimethyl selenide, dimethyl diselenide and other organic selenium compounds: kinetics and product formation

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for many living organisms particularly due to its unique redox properties. We recently found that the sulfur (S) analog for dimethyl selenide (DMSe), i.e. dimethyl sulfide (DMS), reacts fast with the marine oxida ...

Sulfur-cycling chemolithoautotrophic microbial community dominates a cold, anoxic, hypersaline Arctic spring

Ianina Altshuler

Background Gypsum Hill Spring, located in Nunavut in the Canadian High Arctic, is a rare example of a cold saline spring arising through thick permafrost. It perennially discharges cold (similar to 7 degrees C), hypersaline (7-8% salinity), anoxic (similar ...

Hydrogen Peroxide Formation during Ozonation of Olefins and Phenol: Mechanistic Insights from Oxygen Isotope Signatures

Urs von Gunten, Joanna Maria Houska

Mitigation of undesired byproducts from ozonation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) such as aldehydes and ketones is currently hampered by limited knowledge of their precursors and formation pathways. Here, the stable oxygen isotope composition of H2O2 for ...

Low‐Volatility Vapors and New Particle Formation Over the Southern Ocean During the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Robin Lewis Modini

During summer, the Southern Ocean is largely unaffected by anthropogenic emissions, which makes this region an ideal place to investigate marine natural aerosol sources and processes. A better understanding of natural aerosol is key to constrain the preind ...

Active sulfur cycling in the terrestrial deep subsurface

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Emma Bell, Chen Qian

The deep terrestrial subsurface remains an environment where there is limited understanding of the extant microbial metabolisms. At Olkiluoto, Finland, a deep geological repository is under construction for the final storage of spent nuclear fuel. It is th ...

Hypobromous Acid as an Unaccounted Sink for Marine Dimethyl Sulfide?

Urs von Gunten, Boris Droz

Marine emissions of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) to the atmosphere play a fundamental role in the global sulfur (5) cycle and have important consequences for the Earth's radiative balance. In the ocean, DMS is mainly produced by marine algae and bacteria via cle ...

Metal-Sulfide Catalysts Derived from Lignosulfonate and their Efficient Use in Hydrogenolysis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Xile Hu, Zhaofu Fei, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Lichen Bai, Xiang Li, Xinjiang Cui, Sijie Liu

Catalytic lignosulfonate valorization is hampered by the in situ liberation of sulfur that ultimately poisons the catalyst. To overcome this limitation, metal sulfide catalysts were developed that are able to cleave the C-O bonds of lignosulfonate and are ...

H2-fuelled microbial metabolism in Opalinus Clay

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Luca Loreggian, Niels Burzan, Aislinn Ann Boylan, Carla Perez Mon

In Switzerland, the Opalinus Clay formation is considered the most likely host rock for a deep geological repository for nuclear waste. In deep geological repositories, H2 is expected to be the most abundant gas formed from the degradation of waste and fro ...
