In light of a certain Ryskulov’ observations in 1988, this article reported a thermodynamic insight into the detoxification of mercury(II) by thiosulfate as a superiorly alternative antidote. The pathway that sulfur, starting as aqueous thiosulfate ions, undergoes to detoxify aqueous mercury(II) ions was thermodynamically studied through examining numerous equilibrium constants (some calculated from electrochemical data), and the extent of mercury conversion into metacinnabar, somehow representing the effectiveness of thiosulfate as a mercury(II) antidote, was thermodynamically quantified through calculating the net equilibrium constant. It was concluded that in the mercury(II)-thiosulfate chemical equilibria, almost all of the mercury(II) that is not in any mercury(II)-thiosulfate complex form is in the form of the unreactive precipitate metacinnabar. That suggested antidotal effectiveness and justified the need to continue <em>in vivo</em> studies on thiosulfate as a potentially superior mercury(II) antidote.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17081,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sulfur Chemistry","volume":"47 2","pages":"Pages 175-181"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147453936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although both composites exhibited high initial activity in the extraction and oxidation desulfurization of model diesel, PW₄@MOF-808-S demonstrated exceptional stability, with only a 5.1% efficiency loss after ten cycles. This superior performance is attributed to the more stable encapsulation achieved through the in-situ approach.

APM is a polyoxometalate (POM), with the ability of accepting up to six electrons without altering its structure, and exhibits easy mobility of electrons upon irradiation of light, which is a trait of a good photocatalyst. To date, it has not been utilized to convert DBT in a model fuel. Hence, in this work, an attempt was made, and the objective of converting DBT was successfully completed. The conversion of DBT was carried out using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant under UV irradiation. APM was synthesized via the precipitation technique, and the synthesized material was characterized using XRD, FESEM, EDX mapping, HRTEM, XPS and BET analyses. The band gap (E_g) of the material was determined as 2.57 eV through UV-DRS analysis, and the chemical bonding information (obtained through FTIR analysis) indicated the existence of APM hexagonal cubic structure at 1100–500 cm⁻¹ wavenumber. A radical-scavenging experiment confirmed that hydroxyl (•OH⁻) free radicals were responsible for DBT oxidation. Four reaction parameters – DBT concentration (200, 300, and 400 ppm), catalyst loading (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 g/l), hydrogen peroxide-to-sulfur molar ratio (5:1, 10:1, 15:1, and 20:1), and reaction temperature (303, 313, 323, 333, and 343 K) – were examined. Under optimal conditions, a DBT conversion of 81.15% was achieved after 75 min with 200 ppm DBT concentration, catalyst loading 1.5 g/l (H₂O₂: DBT = 10:1) at 313 K. The recyclability of the APM catalyst was tested over four cycles, with a degradation efficiency decrease to 48.17%. A first-order kinetic model was proposed for the catalytic reaction, and the activation energy of the reaction was calculated as 9.22 kJ/mol, indicating a rapid reaction due to a low energy barrier.</div></div><div><div><strong>HIGHLIGHTS</strong></div></div><div><div>UV radiated oxidative photocatalytic conversion of dibenzothiophene was performed.</div><div>Ammonium phosphomolybdate was synthesized as a photocatalyst and characterized.</div><div>To determine the DBT degrading efficiency at optimum parameters.</div><div>To identify DBT conversion in model fuel using HPLC analyzer.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17081,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sulfur Chemistry","volume":"47 2","pages":"Pages 241-265"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147453933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
