Mercury‐dependent artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) is the largest source of
mercury pollution on Earth. In this practice, elemental mercury is used to extract gold from …

Recent developments in the polymerization of elemental sulfur and the preparation of
functional Chalcogenide Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Polymers (CHIPs) are reviewed. CHIPs …

Elemental sulfur is an abundant and inexpensive chemical feedstock, yet it is underused as
a starting material in chemical synthesis. Recently, a process coined inverse vulcanization …

Sulfur polymer composites were prepared by the reaction of canola oil and elemental sulfur
in the presence of the NPK fertiliser components ammonium sulfate, calcium hydrogen …

High sulfur content polymers are prepared through the copolymerization of sustainable
triglycerides and sulfur. These products of “inverse vulcanization” contain 50% sulfur by …

Heavy metal exposure has an enormous burden on human health. Current metal removal
technologies require substantial improvements in relation to their efficiency and …

Many industrial processes produce waste with toxic and precious metal pollutants. Current
remediation strategies lack the selectivity needed to effectively eliminate heavy metals …

Inverse vulcanization combines elemental sulfur, a petroleum waste product, and organic
monomers to synthesize high sulfur content polysulfides without the need for solvents. The …

Inverse vulcanization is a process in which highly abundant and low-cost elemental sulfur is
copolymerized with an unsaturated organic molecule such as a polyene. This process has …

This computational study analyzes mercury adsorption from wastewater using inversed-
vulcanized porous sulfur copolymers. Two inverse-vulcanized sulfur copolymer foams …
