Sulfur organic compounds, removal from gases

Severe hydroprocessing required to produce ultra-low sulfur fuel removes most of the polar organic compounds from the fuel. The resulting product is virtually unable to effectively dissipate static charge as it builds in moving fuel. Instead, electrical discharge into pockets of gas within a pipeline or into air and vapors as fuel is being dispensed can occur. An explosion may result. Low levels of a fuel-soluble electrical conductivity improver to ultra-low sulfur fuel can help restore fuel electrical conductivity to safe levels. [Pg.55]

Industrial uses for H-S include 111 die preparation of sullides. such as sodium sullide and sodium hydrosullide 12) the production of sulfur-bearing organic compounds, such as lliioplienes. mercaptans. and organic sullides (3) the removal of Cu. Cd. and Ti from spent catalysis where the gas acts as a precipitant (4) Ihe lormulation of extreme-pressure lubricants and (51 die preparation of rare-eardl phosphors used ill color TV lubes.

Sulfur also is found as sulfide minerals in combination with iron or base metals (e g-, pyrites) and as sulfates in combination with alkali metals and alkaline earths (e.g., gypsum). Hydrogen sulfide, with its rotten egg odor, is the primary sour component of sour gas. Crude oil and coal contain a variety of complex sulfur-containing organic species. These sulfur compounds are removed from the liquid fuels by treatment with hydrogen to convert the sulfur to hydrogen sulfide, which is taken off in the gas stream. The recovery of sulfur from sour fuels for environmental reasons is the largest source of sulfur today. [Pg.1157]

World sulfur reserves. The earth s crust contains about 0.6% S, where it occurs as elemental S (brimstone) in deposits associated with gypsum and calcite combined S in metal sulfide ores and mineral sulfates as a contaminant in natural gas and crude oils as pyritic and organic compounds in coal and as organic compounds in tar sands (Tisdale and Nelson, 1966). The elemental form commonly occurs near active or extinct volcanoes, or in association with hot mineral spings. Estimates by Holser and Kaplan (1966) of the terrestrial reservoirs of S suggest that about 50% of crustal S is present in relatively mobile reservoirs such as sea water, evaporites, and sediments. The chief deposits of S in the form of brimstone and pyrites are in Western European countries, particularly in France, Spain, Poland, Japan, Russia, U.S.A., Canada, and Mexico. World production of S in the form of brimstone and pyrites was approximately 41 Tg in 1973 other sources accounted for about 8 Tg, making a total of 49 Tg (Anon, 1973). Byproduct S from sour-gas, fossil fuel combustion, and other sources now accounts for over 50% of S used by western countries, as shown in Fig. 9.1. This percentage may increase as pollution abatement measures increase the removal of SO2 from fossil fuel, particularly in the U.S.A. Atmospheric S, returned to the earth in rainwater, is also a very important source of S for plants. [Pg.535]
