Myanmar Meaning
sulphide
Definition
sulfide ( US ) = SULPHIDE
Examples
- ‘In this paper
- we show that the opaline silica and amorphous sulphides are precipitating mainly on filamentous microbes and biofilms
- which form templates for both the metal-rich sinter and the suspended flocs.’
- ‘The technique can identify iron-bearing phases (such as oxides
- silicates
- sulfides
- sulfates
- and carbonates)
- as well as the amount of iron in each phase and the presence of iron in various oxidation states.’
- ‘These pollutants include ozone
- sulphides
- nitrogen oxides
- carbon monoxide
- hydrocarbons
- and sulphur oxides.’
- ‘Although an amino acid acceptor of sulphide is necessary for sulphate assimilation
- only little attention was paid to the regulation of S assimilation by carbon metabolites.’
- ‘The latter mineral
- a sulphide of iron
- has a shiny metallic lustre and was often mistaken for gold itself: it is the infamous fool's gold.’
- ‘Flasks and bottles full of nitrates and sulphides and chlorates and acetone
- labelled in English and Arabic
- lay on dirty tables.’
- ‘DOCs include all compounds of carbon except for its oxides
- sulphides and metal carbonates if they are identifiable by chemical name.’
- ‘Similarly
- metallic iron and many other metals
- alloys
- oxides
- sulfides and other compounds containing iron and a number of other transition metals can be magnetized.’
- ‘The solids used include natural clays and minerals
- metal oxides and sulfides
- metal salts
- and mixed metal oxides.’
- ‘The Podolia ash beds consist largely of clay minerals accompanied by a variety of primary volcanogenic crystals and secondary sulphides
- sulphates
- carbonates
- and silicates.’
- ‘Most metals are so readily oxidized by atmospheric oxygen that they are only found naturally as oxides
- sulfides or salts.’
- ‘By anaerobic bacterial action
- sulphates are reduced to sulphides and organic material is broken down
- ultimately to yield carbon dioxide and methane.’
- ‘These metals occurs in the earth in the form of sulfides
- such as copper sulfide
- lead sulfide
- and zinc sulfide (ZnS).’
- ‘These groups are the silicate minerals
- carbonate minerals
- and halides.’
- ‘During primary sulphate assimilation in chloroplasts
- sulphate is reduced via sulphite to the organic sulphide which is used for cysteine biosynthesis.’
- ‘One is a copper sulfate assemblage
- which is generally associated with copper carbonates
- cuprite
