Abstract
A mathematical model has been developed for predicting the removal of hydrogen sulfide from oil shale retort gas streams in a venturi scrubber, using dilute ammonium hydroxide solutions in water. The model has been compared to experimental data obtained by the Laramie Energy Technology Center in a 150-ton oil shale retort system. The effects of liquid pH and of the liquid-to-gas ratio on H2S removal, as predicted by the model, generally agree with the observed behavior. The new model is different from previous ones in that the details of diffusion and the shifting of chemical equilibria due to pH gradients in the liquid phase are accounted for.
