1 ppm of mercaptan in 1 million standard cubic feet (mscf) of natural gas would be equivalent to 1 pound of mercaptan.
Mercaptan first extracted from the Gasoline/LPG by using caustic oxide which gives NaSR .it is further oxidised to regenerate the used caustic and mercaptan finally removed as Di-sulphides (extraction) RSH + NaOH NaSR + H2O (oxidation) NaSR + ¼O2 + ½H2O NaOH + RSSR regards VIJAYKUMAR
A compound called mercaptan is added to LPG to detect its leakage. Mercaptan is a sulfur-containing compound that gives LPG a distinctive smell, making it easier to detect any leaks as it has a strong odor.
Real skunk "perfume" smells just like the chemical, 'Butyl mercaptan'.
