Although the removal of hydrogen sulphide depends on physical variables, the removal of hydrogen polysulphides involves initially a chemical process, i. e. decomposition to dissolved hydrogen sulphide which is subsequently degassed. The decomposition of hydrogen polysulphide in an uncatalyzed system, however, proceeds at a rate that is undesirably slow for degassing purposes. The Procor-Apollo process... makes of a catalyst to accelerate the rate of polysulphide conversion.... Pseudo first-order half-lives of less than one minute for total degassing have routinely been achieved in a contactor sized to suit the needs of many plants. 1, record 6, English, - pseudo%20first%2Dorder%20half%2Dlife
