After a long haul, the sulfur has been agitated and cools to 280F allowing the contents to approach equilibrium as in Table 3. Assuming a 30 ton sulfur truck with 5% vapor volume is used, the H2S content in the tank truck vapor space at the end of the haul is 40.5% volume, which is within the flammable range.

Molten Sulfur Lakes of Intraoceanic Arc Volcanoes

Molten sulfur has been observed at two vent sites at Nikko: (1) on the northern floor of the crater (at a depth of 462 m ... that the presence of CO 2 will hasten the creation of a vapor phase causing H 2 S and possibly HCl to move into the vapor and act as ligands for some metals. If true, this may reflect the different solubilities of CO 2 ...

SULFUR, MOLTEN | CAMEO Chemicals | NOAA

Even small percentages of hydrocarbons in contact with molten sulfur generate hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide, which may accumulate in explosive concentrations. Sulfur reacts with Group I metal nitrides to form flammable mixtures, evolving flammable and toxic NH3 and H2S gases if water is present (Mellor, 1940, Vol. 8, 99).

A trip into molten sulfur

Lakes of molten sulfur are features sometimes found in seafloor hydrothermal vent systems. Daikoku of the northern Mariana Arc is notable for being home to one of such features inside its summit caldera, the "Sulfur Cauldron" discovered in 2006. A number of oceanographic research cruises since then have revealed significant …

Preventing or Extinguishing Molten Sulfur Tank and Pit …

S to molten elemental sulfur. The molten sulfur produced in a Claus SRU is stored and handled in a number of steps as depicted in the example in Figure 1. The sulfur from the Claus unit often flows to a sulfur pit. The molten sulfur flowing into the pit (or first receiving vessel) from a Claus SRU is often assumed to contain 300 ppmw H 2 S and ...

Abstract. Trimeric Corporation (Trimeric) has performed several studies for different refineries to evaluate the design and performance of molten sulfur storage tank and …

(43w) Hydrogen Sulfide Exposure From Molten Sulfur- A …

Over the last thirty years there has been a significant shift in the production of molten sulfur, moving from mining of geologic sulfur deposits (Frasch process) to environmental byproduct sulfur (Claus process). This technology shift has increased the hydrogen sulfide hazard in molten sulfur. A review of available Material Safety Data Sheets ...

Lop Nor, the Wandering Lake – Molten Sulfur Blog

The stable rivers supported agriculture and a kingdom and city called Loulan. Loulan controlled the oases along one of the major trade routes between China and the outside world. When Lop Nor started moving again, it meant the rivers could no longer be relied on to stay still and water the crops. The city of Loulan was abandoned in 330 A.D.

aware of any incidents where air moving over a stagnant molten sulphur surface (e.g., sweep air in a tank) have led to sulphur fires, the mechanism for static charge generation is similar to free-falling sulphur (i.e., relative velocity and asso-ciated friction between the air and the molten sulphur). Therefore, some have
