When I regularly used mercaptains I would oxidize the sulfide up with a
dilute solution of bleach.
That work well.

Subject: Managing Chemicals with stench characteristics

I have been involved with moving materials from one faciity to another.
During the exercise, I am drafting a more extensive policy for chemical
storage.  Since we have a mulititude of materials, I am focusing on
items that I have highlighted from the existing storage.  One primarily
is materials that have a stench and/or are odiferous.

I understand that there may be products sold to absorb the stench odors
or reduce it.  Double bagging with vermiculite doesn't seem to be as
effective as I would hope.

Any general good practice successes would be greatly appreciated.
