H2S Scavenger Thermal Stability
H2S Scavenger Thermal Stability
(OP)
Can anyone direct me to literature regarding thermal stability of the reaction products of Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers? The manufacturer of the scavenger we are using did not know if the reaction products were stable above their boiling point.

I'll be very interested in this thread.
RE: H2S Scavenger Thermal Stability
Something you might want to look into is the basic chemistry of the reaction, whether it is exo or endo thermal and start there by determining the possibility of reversion due to temperature. As well, you might want to see what is boiling and how these gases might affect the products of the scavenger reaction.
What is your scavenger? What will be the product? How is the reaction taking place? Ask this and you might have an answer

The publication mentioned that:
An effective way for scavenging H2S and mercaptans from crude oil is to use a chemical conversion reagent. This type of additive will react with either the H2S or mercaptans to form irreversibly diakylsulfides and these reaction products will not revert back to H2S or mercaptans if exposed to higher temperatures. This however dependant on scavenger used.
