Species of Sulfur in Sour Gas Reservoir: Insights from In Situ Raman Spectroscopy of S–H2S–CH4–H2O System and Its Subsystems from 20 to 250°C by Yifan Yu, Wenxuan Hu, I-Ming Chou, Lei Jiang, Ye Wan, Yiqun Li, Yang Xin, Xiaolin Wang

“…The results showed the following: (1) a Raman peak at 2500 cm−1 was detected in the liquid S phase of the S–H2S–CH4 –H2O system at 120–250°C, which was attributed to H2Sn. A Raman band at ~533 cm−1 was detected in the aqueous phase of the S–H2S–H2O–CH4 system at 250°C and was assigned to S3−, suggesting that S3− and H2Sn are important S species in sour gas reservoirs at elevated temperatures. (2) The Raman peak at 2500 cm−1 disappeared at 20°C, indicating that H2Sn decomposes into S and H2S. …”
