Control of hydrogen sulfide emission from geothermal power plants

Analysis of ecological effects of geopressured-geothermal resource development. Geopressured-geothermal technical paper No. 4

“…Data a r e available on hydrogen sulfide content of geothermal steam and the problems assodated with the H S in the steam (Harvey et al, 1976;Wilson et a!. , 1977;Li et al, 1976).…”

“…The principal product is sodium sulfate, a neutral salt (Castrantas, Turner, and Rex, 1976). Scrubbing H S from geothermal steam with a solutionof a metal salt, such as CuSO,, t& cation of which yields asparingly soluble sulfide precipitate (Harvey, Brown, and Turchan, 1976). …”
