Journal Article · Wed Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1975 · Annu. Book ASTM Stand.; (United States)

OSTI ID:7296772

This method covers the determination of hydrogen sulfide in natural gas containing not more than 1.0 grain of hydrogen sulfide/100 ft/sup 3/ (23 mg/m/sup 3/). A measured sample of the gas is bubbled through zinc acetate solution. N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine in acid solution and ferric chloride are added to the zinc acetate solution and react with zinc sulfide to form the dye methylene blue. The methylene blue is determined by measurement of optical absorbance of the solution at a specified wavelength or wavelength range.
