colorless needle Crystal, easy deliquescence. Hydrogen sulfide is released at the melting point. Soluble in water and alcohol. The aqueous solution is strongly alkaline. It decomposes with acid to generate hydrogen sulfide. Industrial products are generally solution, orange or yellow, bitter taste.
absorption method; The hydrogen sulfide gas is absorbed by the sulfide alkali solution (or caustic soda solution). Because hydrogen sulfide gas is toxic, the absorption reaction should be carried out under negative pressure. In order to prevent excessive pollution of air by hydrogen sulfide gas in the tail gas, several absorbers will be operated in series in the production, and the hydrogen sulfide content will be reduced to a lower level by multiple absorption. The absorption solution was concentrated to obtain sodium hydrosulfide.

Overview | sodium hydrosulfide is used in the dye industry as an adjuvant for the synthesis of organic intermediates and the preparation of sulfur dyes, in the leather industry for the depilation of hides and tanning, in the chemical fertilizer industry for removal of activated carbon desulfurizer in the monomer sulfur, in the mining industry for a large number of copper mineral processing, in the production of man-made fibers for sulfurous acid dyeing, etc, is the manufacture of Ammonium Sulfide and pesticide ethyl mercaptan semi-finished materials, but also for wastewater treatment. The production process of sodium hydrosulfide is relatively mature, but with the development of various economic forms and the increasing competition, it is required to reduce the input as much as possible to produce high quality and more products. At present, the preparation method of sodium hydrosulfide is a caustic soda absorption method, which requires the raw material gas to be relatively pure hydrogen sulfide gas, and mainly uses the tail gas for producing barium chloride or barium nitrate to react with sodium hydroxide solution to prepare sodium hydrosulfide. The production of sodium hydrosulfide by caustic soda requires no carbon dioxide in the raw material gas. If the raw material gas contains carbon dioxide, sodium carbonate will be generated in the production process: NaOH CO2 → Na2CO3 H2O, the formation of sodium carbonate not only reduces the yield of caustic soda, but also affects the quality of sodium hydrosulfide, affecting the use of users, carbon dioxide content is greater than 10%, in the production will also block equipment and pipelines, so that the production can not be normal. |
