Abstract

AbstractHydrogen sulfide (H2S), a highly poisonous and corrosive gas, is regarded as a hazardous air pollutant with significant effects on human health. Hence, reduction of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas from the atmosphere is very essential. In the present work, self‐priming venturi scrubber is employed to extract H2S gas from the air. Response surface methodology (RSM) with a central composite design (CCD) has been selected to investigate maximizing the H2S removal efficiency by optimizing the process variables. Experiments were carried out by altering the throat gas velocity, outer cylinder liquid level and inlet concentration of H2S. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) test showed that the parameters had a significant effect on the efficiency of H2S removal. A quadratic equation has been developed that accurately predicts the percentage of removal efficiency. The appropriateness of the generated model has been verified by the value of higher R2 resulting from the regression analysis. According to the observations, the velocity of throat gas has the highest effect on the H2S removal efficiency, whereas inlet H2S concentration has the least effect.
