I lived in Denver City, Texas in July 1994 and a pit filled with sulfur which contain mercaptan, as it is found in the production of oil and gas. This pit full of sulfur was the results of Shell Oil Company processing Hydrogen Sulfide Gas into sulfur. this process also contained some Mercaptans (Sulfur plus methane gas molecule). In July 1994 this pit caught on fire with no known cause. The pit was an open pit and if you came close to it you could smell the mercaptans. The official cause was that lightning but if you have ever been around liquid mercaptans you would that it can catch on fire with ease. stallingssd@cox.net Ethyl mercaptan will burn quite readily. It wouldn't be a very good additive for gas if it didn't. It will also autoignite. The temperature required is relatively high. Autoignition is the temperature at which a material will burn when heated to and is typically tested by taking a drop of a material and dropping it into a vessel at a known temperature. If it ignites when it hits the bottom of the vessel, the autoignition temperature has been exceeded. Most sulfur doesn't contain a lot more hydrogen sulfide than they do mercaptan.
