Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure generally relates to dispersions useful for scavenging hydrogen sulfide. The dispersions may be anhydrous and contain a solvent and a hydrogen sulfide scavenging compound. The hydrogen sulfide scavenging compound may be hexamine, for example. The solvent may be a C 2-8 polyol, such as glycerin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of scavenging hydrogen sulfide from a medium in an industrial process, comprising: adding an effective amount of a dispersion to the medium, wherein the dispersion comprises a C 2 -C 5 polyol and a compound of formula (I) or formula (II): wherein R 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted C 1-32 alkyl, a substituted or unsubstituted C 2-32 alkenyl, or a substituted or unsubstituted C 2-32 alkynyl, and wherein the substituted C 1-32 alkyl, the substituted C 2-32 alkenyl, and the substituted C 2-32 alkynyl are substituted with a hydroxyl or a C 1-5 alkyl, wherein the dispersion comprises at least about 67% by weight of the compound of formula (I) or formula (II), wherein the dispersion is prepared by pre-heating the C 2 -C 5 polyol to about 150° F. and then adding the compound of formula (I) or formula (II) to the C 2 -C 5 polyol to form the dispersion. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the medium comprises a member selected from the group consisting of crude oil, diesel fuel, asphalt, and any combination thereof. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the medium comprises polyphosphoric acid. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is from about 1 ppm to about 5,000 ppm. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dispersion comprises a pH greater than about 7. 6. A method of scavenging hydrogen sulfide from a medium in an industrial process, comprising: adding an effective amount of a dispersion to the medium, wherein the dispersion comprises glycerin and at least about 67% by weight of hexamine, further wherein the dispersion is prepared by pre-heating the glycerin to about 150° F. and then adding the hexamine to the glycerin to form the dispersion. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the medium is asphalt.
