I am hydrolysing hair (keratin) in dilute KOH solution. Once this has been adequately hydrolysed, I neutralised the solution using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and there was a very strong sulfur smell coming from the reaction. What volatile sulfur compound is being released? Is there a way to stop this or sequester the compound?
