What is the approximate relative molecular weight of thiols in gasoline desulfurization?
Thread Content
I want to calculate the theoretical air supply volume for desulfurizing thiols in gasoline based on the thiol content in it. What should be the relative molecular mass of thiols?
Both thiol (C2H5SH) and ethylene glycol have a relative molecular mass of 62, but the melting and boiling points of ethanethiol are (fill in ‘high’ or ‘low’) compared to those of ethylene glycol; the reason for this is . Ethanethiol can be used in the synthesis of pesticides and as an alarm to indicate mechanical overheating.
If the molecular weight of thiols is reduced through oxidation using air flow, the resulting disulfides still have to be added to gasoline; it can only be considered as deodorization. So although this is a good question, it doesn’t have much practical significance
