Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is a colorless gas known for its characteristic rotten-egg smell. It’s highly toxic and corrosive, making it a serious problem in sectors such as wastewater treatment, biogas production, mining, aquaculture and oil refining.
Mine Fire Suppression
Reducing mine fires is a critical safety concern in mining operations, where fires can quickly become deadly and cause significant property damage. Nitrogen plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of mine fires by reducing the oxygen concentration, inhibiting primary and secondary combustion, and preventing gas explosions.
