CONTROL OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE EMISSION FROM GEOTHERMAL STEAM PLANTS WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND SODIUM VANADATE

摘要

Removing hydrogen sulfide from geothermal steam condensate is described whereby the hydrogen sulfide that is present in the condensate from a geothermal steam plant is oxidized with a peroxygen compound such as hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalytic quantities of sodium vanadate under neutral to alkaline conditions.
