Mercaptan is a colorless gas with decaying or rotting, putrid or fetid smell.
Mercaptan - smells like hydrogen sulphide (rotten eggs) only worse.
Mercaptan won't kills, its an harmless gas but unable to tolerate with its pungent smelling. Just imagine the smelly socks, rotten vegetable, or foul smell of bad breath; mercaptan's smell is very close to these.
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'.
Mercaptan - smells like hydrogen sulphide (rotten eggs) only worse.
The poisonous gas that smells like cotton candy is likely ethyl mercaptan, which is added to natural gas for safety reasons to give it a detectable odor. Ethyl mercaptan has a sweet, somewhat pleasant odor, reminiscent of cotton candy. While it is not toxic in small amounts, it can be harmful in high concentrations, making it important to recognize its smell as a warning sign of a gas leak.
Tetrahydrothiophene and amyl mercaptan are examples; but ethyl mercaptan is preferred now.
Ethyl mercaptan is not an oil.
Propane itself is totally odorless. But due to its extreme flammability, a tiny amount of a highly potent "odorant" gas (usually methyl mercaptan, which smells like rotten eggs) is added before sale for safety. It is not practical to remove the "odorant".
its true cos she smells like eggshells!!!!!!!!! its true cos she smells like eggshells!!!!!!!!!
It smells foul
No marsupial smells like popcorn.

it smells like rotten like a month old garbage can
