Resumen

This paper reports a study into the influence of sodium carbonate concentration (10, 30, and 50 kg/m3) in the simultaneous presence of sodium thiosulfate (250 kg/m3) and quinhydrone (5 kg/m3) on the coefficient of the phase distribution of hydrogen sulfide in a quinhydrone absorbing solution. The research was carried out at the laboratory installation using chemical analysis methods of liquid and gas phases. It has been found that the coefficient of phase distribution increases dramatically with an increase in the degree of saturation of the quinhydrone solution with hydrogen sulfide. At the same time, in the presence of sodium thiosulfate in quinhydrone absorbing solutions, the coefficient of phase distribution increases compared to carbonate solutions of the same concentration. Thus, the partial hydrogen sulfide pressure over a quinhydrone solution at low degrees of hydrogen sulfide saturation (up to 3 %) is 5...10 times larger than that over soda solution, while at high degrees (60...80 %) it is almost the same. It can be argued that at the high concentrations of sodium carbonate and the degree of the saturation of quinhydrone solution with hydrogen sulfide the effect of sodium thiosulfate on the partial pressure of hydrogen sulfide decreases. An equation of the effect exerted by the Na?S concentration and the starting Na2CO3 concentration on the H2S partial pressure over quinhydrone solutions has been proposed. Based on the experimental studies' results, the equilibrium constant values for a hydrogen sulfide chemisorption reaction involving a quinhydrone solution have been calculated. To ensure the high absorption capacity, the process of hydrogen sulfide chemisorption should be carried out using solutions with a maximum concentration of sodium carbonate, 40...50 kg/m3. The presence of ballast components (Na2S2O3, NaHCO3) slightly reduces the sorption capacity of an absorbing solution. The results obtained could be used in engineering calculations and when developing technology for purification of fuel gases from hydrogen sulfide by a quinhydrone method.
