    Hydrogen sulfide is generally used in reactions such as thiolation, and hydrogen sulfide gas in steel cylinders is generally used directly


    1.


    Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas with irritating and suffocating properties


    (1) As long as the concentration of hydrogen sulfide is extremely low, it has a odor.


    (2) Hydrogen sulfide poisoning in daily life is mostly due to the degradation and degradation of proteins in organisms or fecal organic matter to produce amino acids , among which cystine or cysteine undergoes anaerobic fermentation under the action of anaerobic bacteria.


    Mild poisoning: Mild poisoning is mainly irritation symptoms, manifested as watery eyes, eye tingling, runny nose, burning throat, or accompanied by headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and other symptoms


    Moderate poisoning: After exposure to high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide , the manifestations of encephalopathy are significant, headaches, dizziness, irritability, staggering gait, irritability, confusion, delirium, epileptic convulsions can be generalized tonic-clonic seizures, etc.


    Severe poisoning: shock-like deaths can occur after exposure to extremely high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide , that is, respiratory arrest within seconds or minutes after exposure, and cardiac arrest within a few minutes; it can also be unconscious immediately or within a few minutes with sudden breathing Stop and die


    2.


    (1) There must be a fully complete and rigorous exhaust gas absorption device, and the exhaust gas shall be absorbed by 5% NaClO


    (2) The bubble port is 2 to 3 cm below the liquid surface


    (3) Control the rate of gas release: some bubbles appear from the liquid surface when not stirring, and no bubbles are visible from the liquid surface when stirring


    (4) Wear a filter-type gas mask (half mask) and pull down the fume hood door


    (5) For the quenching of the reaction solution, an excess (usually 2 molar ratios or more) of NaClO (available chlorine 10%-20%) or H 2 O 2 (5%-10%) can be used to oxidize H 2 S into sub Sulfate or sulfate , so that it is not odorous, low-toxic or even non-toxic after treatment
