Transformation of tertiary butyl mercaptan in aerobic environments

Abstract

Tertiary butyl mercaptan (TBM) is a malodorant that is added to natural gas in small quantities

Rapid degradation of contaminated soil with 2‐methylpropane‐2‐thiol by H2O2/KMnO4/NaClO system: process modeling and optimization

“…This time interval results in minimum influence of biodegradation, because biodegradation process is much slower than chemical oxidation. [39] The removal efficiency of pollutant (%R) as a function of time is given by…”

“…Kalainesan et al reported degradation of 2-methylpropane-2-thiol (or turt-butyl mercaptan) under aerobic conditions. [39] Because of human risks, severity of soil pollution with 2-methylpropane-2-thiol and little systematic investigation about fast remediation of this odorous material, there is a need for experimental study on combination use of oxidation agents in order to investigate the effective factors in remediation process.…”

Isothermal Binary Vapor−Liquid Equilibrium for 2-Methylpropane and n-Butane with 1,2-Ethanedithiol and 2-Methyl-2-propanethiol

“…The quality of the degassing procedure was checked by comparing the measured refractive indices and vapor pressures to values in the literature (Tables 1 and 2). In this work, 2-methylpropane and n-butane are always addressed as component (1) and the sulfur compounds as component (2).…”

“…The phase equilibrium behavior of butane enables the development of thermodynamic models that is fundamental in process design and development. 2-Methyl-2-propanethiol is a malodorous component that is added to natural gas in small quantities to aid in its detection . 1,2-Ethanedithiol is a toxic compound widely used as a building block in organic chemistry.…”

“…2-Methyl-2-propanethiol is a malodorous component that is added to natural gas in small quantities to aid in its detection. 2 1,2-Ethanedithiol is a toxic compound widely used as a building block in organic chemistry. This compound is interesting as a test system for predictive activity coefficient models, due to its structure with thiols.…”
