Abstract
Sulfidation properties of char-supported Fe-Zn-Mo sorbents prepared by ultrasonic impregnation method were investigated during simultaneous removal of H2S and COS from coke oven gas (COG) using a fixed-bed quartz reactor. Sorbent samples before and after sulfidation were analyzed using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The experimental results showed that the addition of Mo significantly improved the desulfurization properties (i.e., breakthrough time, sulfur capacity and desulfurization efficiency) of Fe-Zn sorbents. Desulfurization reactions were exothermic and thermodynamically favorable in the temperature range of 200–400 °C. Thermodynamic analysis of the sorbents indicated that higher concentration of H2S and lower concentration of H2 favors the reaction of metal oxides with H2S to form metal sulfides.
