Examples
- ‘They are immediately downwind of coal-burning electric plants in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys
- and their high elevation makes them extremely susceptible to sulfates and nitrates moving through the atmosphere.’
- ‘It occurs in all kinds of minerals
- such as oxides
- carbonates
- nitrates
- sulfates
- and phosphates.’
- ‘The technique can identify iron-bearing phases (such as oxides
- silicates
- sulfides
- and carbonates)
- as well as the amount of iron in each phase and the presence of iron in various oxidation states.’
- ‘Biodiesel reduces emissions of unburned hydrocarbons
- carbon monoxide
- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
- nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and particulates.’
- ‘The respirable portion of particulates can include acid condensates
- and organic compounds.’
- ‘Inorganic anions such as chloride
- nitrate and sulphate can be separated in about five minutes.’
- ‘Herbicides include a wide range of compounds
- such as common salt
- and ammonium and potassium salts.’
- ‘Common among these are bicarbonates
- calcium
- chlorides
- fluorides
- magnesium and sulfates - all of which can cause salt stress if found in excessive amounts.’
- ‘The Podolia ash beds consist largely of clay minerals accompanied by a variety of primary volcanogenic crystals and secondary sulphides
- sulphates
- oxides
- and silicates.’
- ‘Tiny particles of soot or chemical compounds like sulphates reflect sunlight and they also promote the formation of bigger
- longer lasting clouds.’
- ‘The magnesium corrosion control rod present in many hot water heaters can chemically reduce naturally occurring sulfates to hydrogen sulfide.’
- ‘Other contaminants include arsenic
- chromium
- cyanides
- phenols
- gases and ‘combustible materials’.’
- ‘Black smokers
- debouching fluids at 350°C into the overlying sea water sit atop a mound of hydrothermal minerals
- including sulphides
- and silicates.’
- ‘The oils are first reacted with sulfuric acid
- which converts them into sulfates.’
- ‘Leachate typically contains organic compounds together with metal chlorides and sulphates
- and has a high chemical oxygen demand due to the presence of reducing species.’
- ‘These minerals can be supplemented in the diet as inorganic oxides
- or organic chelates with the mineral bound to an amino acid or peptide complex.’
- ‘They have a somewhat chalky flavor
- which is indicative of sulfates
- but rules out regular sodium chloride.’
- ‘Comprised primarily of soot
- fly ash
- and organic particles
