Abstract
The aquathermolysis reactivity of nine organic sulfur compounds was investigated to determine their potential to generate hydrogen sulfide during the cyclic steam stimulation process to recover Cold Lake bitumen. Dioctyl sulfide, 1-decanethiol, didecyl disulfide, 1-naphthalenethiol, 1,1'-dinaphthyl sulfide, 1,1'-dinaphthyl disulfide, 1-naphthyl 1-octyl sulfide, tetrahydrothiophene, and thiophene were selected as model compounds and subjected to neutral, basic, and acidic aquath-ermolysis conditions at 250 and 300 o C. Thiols, and thiols formed by cleavage of sulfides and disulfides were found to be the source of H 2 S evolution. Aliphatic sulfides, in addition to their usual C-S bond cleavage, showed α,β C-C bond cleavage
