Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas with an obnoxious rotten egg odour. H2S is highly flammable, noxious and vitriolic in nature. Many petroleum and natural gas processing industries produces H2S as a by-product gaseous stream. Most H2S in the air comes from natural sulfur cycle. Exposure to H2S can lead to various health issues like burning/tearing of eyes, cough, and shortness of breath. Moderate concentration can lead to respiratory issues. So it is advisable to make use of this gas in other industrial operations. Elemental sulfur is conventionally produced using H2S by Claus Process which is further utilized in the production of H2SO4 or rubber industries. But high amount of energy and necessary process control over oxygen and H2S ratio makes Claus process uneconomical. H2S-laden gas can be utilized well by absorbing into aqueous alkanolamine and then using this reagent to produce organo-sulfur compounds like thioether, mercaptans, disulfides etc., which have higher usability and better market value. The overall objective of this project is to study of synthesis of aromatic disulfide using H2S rich aq. alkanolamine and Benzyl Chloride in presence of phase transfer catalyst. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas with an obnoxious rotten egg odour. H2S is highly flammable, noxious and vitriolic in nature. Its presence can be felt by smell at very low levels, as low as 0.5 ppb in air. Many petroleum and natural gas processing industries produces H2S as a by-product in gaseous stream. Most H2S in the air comes in from natural sulfur cycle. It is produced when bacteria decompose plant and animal material, often in stagnant waters where oxygen content is low such as bogs and swamps.

MDEA- Methyldiethanol amine is clear, colorless pale yellow with ammonia odour, miscible with water, alcohol, benzene with chemical composition CH3N (C2H4OH)2 . It is a sweetening agent. Advantages of using MDEA over MEA or DEA: 1. The fact that MDEA is a tertiary amine makes it less basic. Also there is no hydrogen attached to nitrogen. So if any CO2 is present in gas, it can react only after CO2 dissolves in order to form bicarbonate, which then undergoes acid-base reaction with amines. But both MEA and DEA react with all the CO2 present in the gas stream.
Hydrogen is a diatomic element that is in a gaseous form at room temperature. Its most identifying characteristic is the fact that it is highly explosive. It is the lightest element in the world, and has a lifting power of 8% more than that of helium. Hydrogen was used in airships and zeppelins for more than 20 years during the beginning of the 20th century. This practice stopped abruptly after the German airship Hindenburg disaster over New Jersey. It is used in fuel cells to create electricity, and to power cars and planes. Liquid hydrogen is mixed with liquid oxygen to form a cryogenic liquid that is burnt in Solid Rocket Boosters to power the space shuttle. Hydrogen is used to fill weather balloons because of its superb lifting power.
Sulfur is also in some proteins and vitamins. Some people have even sprinkled sulfur in their yards to get rid of snakes, but it should not be used if you have pets or children. There are some organic compounds of sulfur which include, calcium sulfur, carbon disulfide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Sulfur dioxide is a dangerous component of sulfur and is an important component of sulfur. Certain medications that contain sulfur help treat depression, fibromyalgia, arthritis, interstitial cystitis, athletic injuries, congestive heart failure, diabetes, cancer, and AIDS.
The MSDS, or material safety data sheet, for 2-butoxyethanol outlines basic health risks that accompany it, along with basic chemical and physical properties. One of the physical properties is the fact that it is a liquid at room temperature, which means it takes the shape of its container and its molecules are not definitively packed. Chemical properties include flammability, which is whether or not it ignites easily, and toxicity, whether or not it is poisonous to humans. 2-butoxyethanol is both flammable and toxic, meaning it does ignite easily and is poisonous to humans It says that 2-butoxyethanol has a health hazard number of two and fire hazard number of two. The health hazard number means that it can cause injury upon exposure and requires rapid medical treatment. The fire hazard number means that it can ignite w...
Sulfur will burn, albeit very slowly. The addition of an oxidizer (such as KNO3) greatly
The three butene products have been verified to elute in the following order: 1-butene, trans-2-butene, and cis-2-butene. Theory: The dehydration of 2-butanol, a secondary alcohol, progresses readily in the presence of a strong acid like concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The reaction is completed via the E1 mechanism. Initially, the hydroxyl group is a poor leaving group, but that is remedied by its protonation by the acid catalyst (H2SO4) converting it to a better leaving group, H2O. The loss of this water molecule results in a secondary carbocation intermediate that continues to form an alkene in an E1 elimination.
Methane is also released while drilling & coal mining or due to accidents that lead to leaking gas pipelines
The sulfur dioxide in environment mainly mainly comes from the direct combustion of fossil fuels including coal, petroleum, and so on. Meanwhile, the combustion of fossil fuels were the main sources of the sulfur dioxide in atmosphere. Generally speaking, the content of sulfur in cola was around 3%~5%. Unde the high temperature, most of the sulfur in fuels would be decomposed through being affected by the heat, and then the sulfur was oxidized to the sulfur dioxide, being released into the atmosphere. Based on data, billion of tones of fossil fuels were consumed in the world every year. These fossil fuels were burnt for electrical energy and heat thermal energy, but the sulfur content was oxidized to the sul...
Hydrogen is a tasteless, odorless, colorless gas. Hydrogen is found in group 1 and period 1 on the periodic table. Hydrogen is classified as a nonmetal on the periodic table. The symbol for hydrogen is represented by an H, its atomic number is 1, and its atomic weight is 1.0079. The hydrogen atom consists of one proton, which has a positive charge, and one electron, which has a negative charge. The term hydrogen comes from two Greek words meaning water-former. Henry Cavendish, an English scientist, discovered it in 1766. Named by Lavoisier, hydrogen is the most abundant of all elements in the universe. The sun and many other stars consist of mostly hydrogen. It is the third most abundant element on earth. It is estimated that hydrogen makes up more than 90% of all the atoms or three quarters of the mass of the universe. Hydrogen plays an important part in powering the universe though both the proton-proton reaction and carbon-nitrogen cycle. Hydrogen occurs in almost all organic compounds. Many of the compounds found in plant and animal tissues are organic. Production of hydrogen in the U.S. alone now amounts to about 3 billion cubic feet per year. Some of the methods that hydrogen is prepared by are steam on heated carbon, decomposition of certain hydrocarbons with heat, action of sodium or potassium hydroxide on aluminum, or displacement from acids by certain metals. Hydrogen may be condensed to a liquid that boils at -257.87°C and freezes at -259.14°C. Hydrogen ...
The molecule hydrogen sulphide contains one sulphide atom however it is less electronegative than oxygen which is found in a water molecule therefore in hydrogen sulphide there are not hydrogen which are connected to any very powerful electronegative molecules for example oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine. However in hydrogen sulphide there are lone pairs of electrons which may be used to make a bind which is known as hydrogen bonds.
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) content in biogas determines its quality. Hydrogen sulfide concentration may exceed 0.2 % by volume in raw biogas, capable of causing damages ...
Methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (15), as its four hydrogen bonds absorb more infrared radiation than carbon dioxide, thus having a greater and instantaneous contribution to the enhanced greenhouse effect. However, methane has an atmospheric life of approximately 12 years (15), compared to a much longer duration for carbon dioxide. Methane’s shorter life is defined by its ability to react with hydroxyl radicals (15) in the atmosphere, in turn being converted into water and carbon dioxide (FIGURE 1). Methane gas is also able to react with halogens in the atmosphere, via a process known as free radical halogenation, where ultraviolet light breaks the bonds in diatomic halogens, thus attracting the hydrogen atoms
When a hydrogen atom in an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon is replaced by halogen atoms then the compounds are termed as haloalkanes and haloarenes. Halogens are the less reactive functional group in comparison to carboxyl or aldehyde group. Therefore, halogen group when attached as a functional group do not bring a drastic difference in the overall physical properties of a compound. However, some differences can be seen as we move down the group in the homologous series of haloalkanes and haloarenes due to the difference in the atomic masses.
General Description: A yellow or red crystalline solid or powder. Combustible. Insoluble in water. Toxic by inhalation (dust) and ingestion.
In chemistry there are a lot of elements on the periodic table. One of the elements is hydrogen. Hydrogen the first element in the periodic table it is colorless, combustible and lightest of all gases. It was first artificially produced in the early 16th century by Henry Cavendish. As we know hydrogen can be used as fuel, and the fossil fuel energy has been used in many areas, but human can’t produce the fossil energy fuel by themselves, the more we use, the less we have left, so hydrogen may be used as the most common use fuel instead of gases in the future, it is not only used as fuel but also extensively used in different areas, such as industry, agriculture, medicine, and research.
Factories and transportation depend on huge amounts of fuel--billions of tons of coal and oil are consumed around the world every year. When these fuels burn they introduce smoke and other, less visible, by-products into the atmosphere.
