Wet Scrubbing Removal of Methyl Mercaptan by Peroxymonosulfate under Acidic Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was used in wet scrubbing removal of odorous gas methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) under acidic condition (pH = 2) for the first time. Even though CH3SH can hardly dissociate as CH3S under acidic solution (pKa = 10.3), quick oxidizing reaction may occur at the gas-liquid interface by PMS alone or Co2+ activated PMS oxidation. When the gas flow is 0.5 L min-1, PMS alone can remove 94% of 60 ppm/v CH3SH. The absorption of CH3SH is the rate controlling step of the removal process, however, quick oxidizing reaction with the dissolved CH3SH(aq) molecule could improve the mass transfer of CH3SH from the gas phase into the liquid phase.
