Study on the changes and transformation characteristics of intermediate liquid products in hydrogen sulfide production from lignite degraded by sulfate-reducing bacteria.

The changes and transformation laws of intermediate liquid-phase products during the anaerobic degradation of lignite by sulfate-reducing bacteria in the formation of hydrogen sulfide play an important role in supplementing and improving the existing theories on the genesis of hydrogen sulfide gas in coal mines. In this paper, HS gas and key intermediate liquid-phase products produced during the anaerobic degradation of lignite by sulfate-reducing bacteria were detected and analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that the process of hydrogen sulfide production from lignite degradation by sulfate-reducing bacteria can be roughly divided into four stages: slow production phase, rapid growth phase, steady production phase, and slight decline phase.
