Abstract

Desulfurization of blast furnace gas (BFG) is essential for steel companies to achieve its cleaner utilization. In this study, an in-situ regeneratable H2S adsorbent with a high sulfur capacity was developed. Zeolites with specific silica-aluminum ratios were selected, and hybrid Cu/zeolites adsorbents were synthesized using an impregnation method. The optimal adsorbent (DSZ-2) exhibited a high breakthrough sulfur capacity of 39.0 mg/g at 80 °C. Moreover, this adsorbent can also be in-situ regenerated at lower temperatures (280 ℃) and the regenerated adsorbent has even a higher breakthrough sulfur capacity of 49.0 mg/g. The possible desulfurization and regeneration mechanism of the DSZ-2 absorbent are discussed. Due to its high sulfur capacity and good regenerability, this absorbent has great application prospect in the removal of H2S from BFG.
