Oxidative Absorption of Hydrogen Sulfide using Iron-chelate Based Process: Chelate Degradation

Girish M Deshmukh, Aparna Shete and Deepali M Pawar

Oxidative absorption of hydrogen sulfide into a solution of ferric chelate is studied in stirred cell glass reactor. The experiments are performed to investigate degradation of chelates viz., NTA, EDTA and DTPA at 313 K temperature, pH 6, Iron concentration 10000 ppm and Fe-Chelate molar ratio 1:2. Oxidative absorption of hydrogen sulfide into a solution of Fe-NTA was found better. Therefore, further experiments with 10%, 50% and 100% concentrations of hydrogen sulfide are performed. It is observed that this process is applicable for removal of low to high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide. Effect of antioxidant using sodium thiosulphate is also studied in order to minimize degradation of NTA. The kinetic parameters are studied and it is observed that the reaction appeared to be first order in ferric chelate and Rate constant values for 100%, 50% and 10% hydrogen sulfide concentration are 0.035 hr-1, 0.013 hr-1 and 0.019 hr-1 respectively.
