Myanmar Meaning

sulphite

Definition

sulfate ( US ) = SULPHATE

Examples

  1. ‘They are immediately downwind of coal-burning electric plants in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys
  2. and their high elevation makes them extremely susceptible to sulfates and nitrates moving through the atmosphere.’
  3. ‘It occurs in all kinds of minerals
  4. such as oxides
  5. carbonates
  6. nitrates
  7. sulfates
  8. and phosphates.’
  9. ‘The technique can identify iron-bearing phases (such as oxides
  10. silicates
  11. sulfides
  12. and carbonates)
  13. as well as the amount of iron in each phase and the presence of iron in various oxidation states.’
  14. ‘Biodiesel reduces emissions of unburned hydrocarbons
  15. carbon monoxide
  16. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
  17. nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and particulates.’
  18. ‘The respirable portion of particulates can include acid condensates
  19. and organic compounds.’
  20. ‘Inorganic anions such as chloride
  21. nitrate and sulphate can be separated in about five minutes.’
  22. ‘Herbicides include a wide range of compounds
  23. such as common salt
  24. and ammonium and potassium salts.’
  25. ‘Common among these are bicarbonates
  26. calcium
  27. chlorides
  28. fluorides
  29. magnesium and sulfates - all of which can cause salt stress if found in excessive amounts.’
  30. ‘The Podolia ash beds consist largely of clay minerals accompanied by a variety of primary volcanogenic crystals and secondary sulphides
  31. sulphates
  32. oxides
  33. and silicates.’
  34. ‘Tiny particles of soot or chemical compounds like sulphates reflect sunlight and they also promote the formation of bigger
  35. longer lasting clouds.’
  36. ‘The magnesium corrosion control rod present in many hot water heaters can chemically reduce naturally occurring sulfates to hydrogen sulfide.’
  37. ‘Other contaminants include arsenic
  38. chromium
  39. cyanides
  40. phenols
  41. gases and ‘combustible materials’.’
  42. ‘Black smokers
  43. debouching fluids at 350°C into the overlying sea water sit atop a mound of hydrothermal minerals
  44. including sulphides
  45. and silicates.’
  46. ‘The oils are first reacted with sulfuric acid
  47. which converts them into sulfates.’
  48. ‘Leachate typically contains organic compounds together with metal chlorides and sulphates
  49. and has a high chemical oxygen demand due to the presence of reducing species.’
  50. ‘These minerals can be supplemented in the diet as inorganic oxides
  51. or organic chelates with the mineral bound to an amino acid or peptide complex.’
  52. ‘They have a somewhat chalky flavor
  53. which is indicative of sulfates
  54. but rules out regular sodium chloride.’
  55. ‘Comprised primarily of soot
  56. fly ash
  57. and organic particles
