| Abstract: | Studies of the sulphur hydrolysis reaction, 4S + 4H2O /ag 3H2S + HSO4? + H+, were conducted between 200 and 320°C in sealed silica glass tubes. The isotope exchange reaction: H218O + HS16O4? /ag H216O + HS18O4? is so rapid at the low pH (1.5–3) as to be unquenchable. However, the sulphur isotope exchange reaction: H234S+ H32SO4? /ag H232S + H34SO4? gave t12 values of 0.1, 0.3 and 1.7 days at 320, 260 and 200°C respectively and equilibrium H2S - HSO4? sulphur isotope fractionation values of 20.9, 22.4, 24.8, 26.7 and 29.3‰ at 320, 290, 260, 230 and 200°C respectively. This latter data is represented by: 1000lnα(HSO4??H2S) = 5.07 (106T?2) + 6.33, and has valuable applications in geothermal and ore deposit studies. |
