Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: While data specific to t-butyl mercaptan were not available(SRC, 2005), this compound would probably be difficult to biodegrade because of the branching in its structure(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 9 was calculated for t-butyl mercaptan(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 2.1(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of t-butyl mercaptan can be estimated to be 49(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that t-butyl mercaptan is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Natural gas containing 0.5 lb of t-butyl mercaptan per million cubic feet was passed through a bed of pulverized, dry, raw montmorillonite clay and then measured for loss of odorant. Within 100 standard cubic feet, over 85% of the average influent concentration of t-butyl mercaptan was present in the effluent(3).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
