Triazine is one of the most economical and effective scavengers for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal, but the reaction mechanisms between triazine and H2S with pH variation in solution are still poorly understood. Herein, we show that the reaction process can be directly probed by means of paper spray mass spectrometry, in which an aprotic solvent (e.g., acetonitrile) is more favorable to the observation of reaction intermediates than a protic solvent (e.g., methanol), because of hydrogen bond interaction. Varying the pH of the reaction leads to completely different reaction pathways. With the pH in the range of 5.58 to 7.73, the major product was thiadiazine. With a pH of 3.02–3.69, thiadiazine is converted to 2-(5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,5-thiadiazinan-3-yl)acetaldehyde, which differs from the traditional pathway of analogous reactions. However, as ammonia was added into the reaction and the pH was adjusted to the range 8.45–9.43, triazine readily undergoes hydrolysis, and the formed intermediate reacts with ammonia and formaldehyde generated in situ from triazine to produce 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,5,7-triaza-1-azoniatricyclo [3.3.1.13,7]decane (HTAD). Further increasing the pH up to 10.27–11.21 leads to the decomposition of HTAD. Based on the experimental observation and evidence from high-resolution and tandem mass spectrometry, we propose the plausible reaction mechanisms between triazine and H2S, as well as the derived reaction from triazine under different pH conditions.
