    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide

    Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 S. It is a colorless chalcogen-hydride gas , and is toxic, corrosive, and flammable, with trace amounts in ambient atmosphere having a characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs . [ 11 ]

  3. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This list is sorted by boiling point of gases in ascending order, but can be sorted on different values. "sub" and "triple" refer to the sublimation point and the triple point, which are given in the case of a substance that sublimes at 1 atm; "dec" refers to decomposition. "~" means approximately.

  4. List of highly toxic gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highly_toxic_gases

    Toxic: a chemical that has a median lethal concentration (LC 50) in air of more than 200 parts per million (ppm) but not more than 2,000 parts per million by volume of gas or vapor, or more than 2 milligrams per liter but not more than 20 milligrams per liter of mist, fume or dust, when administered by continuous inhalation for 1 hour (or less if death occurs within 1 hour) to albino rats ...

  6. Amine gas treating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine_gas_treating

    Amine gas plant at a natural gas field. Amine gas treating, also known as amine scrubbing, gas sweetening and acid gas removal, refers to a group of processes that use aqueous solutions of various alkylamines (commonly referred to simply as amines) to remove hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) from gases.

  7. Acid gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_gas

    The term/s acid gas and sour gas are often incorrectly treated as synonyms. Strictly speaking, a sour gas is any gas that specifically contains hydrogen sulfide in significant amounts; an acid gas is any gas that contains significant amounts of acidic gases such as carbon dioxide (CO 2) or hydrogen sulfide. Thus, carbon dioxide by itself is an ...

    The main structure of chemical names according to IUPAC nomenclature. IUPAC nomenclature is a set of recommendations for naming chemical compounds and for describing chemistry and biochemistry in general. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is the international authority on chemical nomenclature and terminology.

  9. Sewer gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewer_gas

    Sewer gas can contain methane and hydrogen sulfide, both highly flammable and potentially explosive substances. As such, ignition of the gas is possible with flame or sparks. [7] The methane concentration in open sewers is lower (7 to 15 ppmv) than the closed drains (up to 300 ppmv) in samples collected 2 cm (0.8 in) above the level of sewage. [8]
