The rate of nitrogen flow through the apparatus should be sufficiently rapid to sweep the system completely free of hydrogen sulfide in a reasonable time. Nitrogen flow rates as high as 500 ml. per minute have been employed without loss of sulfide. However, rates of 100 to 200 ml. per minute are entirely adequate.Slower rates require excessively long times to ensure complete transfer of hydrogen sulfide. • LITERATURE CITED
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
