ABSTRACT: Acid mine drainage has a prominent and damaging effect on the environment. This paper outlines the environmental impact, the chemistry behind the acid generation, and methods of treatment. The objective of this paper is to educate the reader about acid mine drainage, and what can be done to reduce this pollutant. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: Acid mine drainage (AMD) often occurs at abandoned mining sites. Acid generation is the result of combining certain minerals, water, and an oxidant.…

Our Air is something we take for granted as opposed to food or water we don’t really contemplate much about it. Similar to the way we breathe it’s just a part of our life whether we consciously think about it or not. Comparable to our subconscious breathing is the autonomous effects polluted air can have on just about every aspect of the world. Its indisputable to say all of you know in our lifetime, environmental concerns revolving around our expenditure of fossil fuels and the effects it has…

My element Sulfur is the most important element there is. The symbol for Sulfur is S. An yellow looking odorless substance that is found underground. Sulfur has an atomic number of 16, atomic weight of 32.065. The element Sulfur is classified as a non-mental with the boiling point of 832.28 degrees Fahrenheit and a melting point of 239.38 degrees Fahrenheit. There are several mixture of sulfur compounds, including the mineral pyrite, or iron sulfide. Each of these types of Sulfur plays its own…

Question: Which amount of Sulfur(.25 grams, .5 grams, .75 grams, and 1 gram) creates the closest reaction with fire as the store bought gunpowder in terms of size of flame and the time duration of the flame? Knowledge Probe: The equation for the reaction of our gunpowder is 10Na NO3 + 8C + 3S → 2 Na2 CO3 + 3Na2SO4 + 6CO2 + 5N2. This shows that Sodium Nitrate is reacting with Carbon/Charcoal and Sulfur to form Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Sodium Carbonate, and Sodium…

Sulfur: Research Paper by Brian Zhang 805 If you ever happened to unnerve a grumpy skunk, then you would have understood the severe atrocity of its scent firsthand. What you probably didn't realize, however, concerns the fact that sulfur holds much blame for the nasty occurrence. In fact, this mother of repulsive odors earns its spot on the periodic table as one of the world's 118 chemical elements, or substances that contain only one type of atom. Much like any other non-metal, it does…

sell Sulfur for a living may not be the right or cool thing to sell but I sell it. You can use my wonderful Sulfur to make cleaners and to make car batteries. This element is the easiest to find on the periodic table all you have to do is look for the letter (S). Let’s learn about the discovery of this wonderful object. This wonderful Sulfur was discovered around 1777. The special person that discovered this Sulfur would be Atonine Lavoisier. Sulfur was discovered In the Greek areas. Sulfur is a…

Garlic mustard is not a positive thing for our environment. Garlic mustard is a plant, more easily classified as a weed, that has an extremely negative impact on our environment. The garlic mustard is an aggressive woodland invader in most of the eastern U.S. Actually, it is much worse than the zebra mussels. Zebra mussels are small freshwater mollusks. Garlic mustard has a negative impact on the environment because of many things. For starters, it is easily spread. Not only is it spread easily,…

1. Introduction Pre-industrial revolution, humans beings used to live a primitive life whereby they used wood for cooking, warming house; as biofuel. Even later when they lived in houses, they used candles to light up their homes. Post-industrial revolution, human beings discovered new energy resources which have made life much easier to live. And the discovery of these resources (coal and oil), have also supported the advancement of new technologies e.g. automobiles, airplanes, generation of…

Acid Rain Controversy The acid rain problem that everyone faces today demonstrates one thing in particular, and that is, finding new means and approaches that will enable us to defend and protect ourselves, as well as the environment, from the continuous destruction and devastation caused by acid rain. Acid is no longer just an aberration that resulted from the choice of civilization (Yadav, 2012). Everyone can no longer deny the fact that the effects of acid rain had become more than what the…

Acid Rain is best described as any form of precipitation with high levels of nitric and sulfuric acid. Acid rain or acid deposition is the result of burning of fossil fuels. About two-thirds of SO2 and one-fourth of NOx are released into the air; it comes from electric power generators. These chemicals react would react with water, oxygen, and other substances to form delicate solution of sulfuric and nitric acid to form acidic pollutants. The source of sulphur dioxide comes from volcanoes,…
