I am trouble shooting an ethane/propane extraction plant and I am interested in knowing the kinetics for the following reation. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

H2S + CO2 = COS +H2O

I need to know how much COS will form in the absence of H2O. I'm trying to find out if/how much COS is being formed in the dehydration step.
