Comparison of mineral acid pretreatments for sulfide removal
Both sulfuric and carbonic acid improved sulfide removal by lowering pH, but only carbonic acid preserved alkalinity and proved less corrosive. To determine water quality effects on groundwater treatment for hydrogen sulfide, the authors compared sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) and carbonic acid for pH ad...
