Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide reacts with the corrosion products (Fe₂O₃) in oil tanks to form iron sulfides. The oxidation and released heat of iron sulfides can lead to spontaneous combustion of iron sulfides and fire of oil tanks. In this article, the simulating production process of iron sulfides in oil tanks and the effects of flow rate of hydrogen sulfide, environmental temperature and setting time on the quantities and types of iron sulfides are studied.
