Hydrogen sulfide removal from geothermal fluids by Fe(III)-based additives by S. Regenspurg, J. Iannotta, E. Feldbusch, F. J. Zimmermann, F. Eichinger

“…In all experiments the pH was constantly rising during the reaction from about 6.3 to 7.5, which was explained by loss of protons due to purging out of the gaseous H2S. The redox value, which was measured over time, remained rather constant after addition of granulated iron hydroxide (about −350 mV), but strongly increased from −350 mV to −50 mV after adding the FeCl3 suggesting a strong electron-consuming reaction. …”
