Abstract
During this quarter work on zinc titanate materials as sorbents for fuel gas desulfurization continued. On the basis of the completed parametric studies of reduction and sulfidation (effects of H{sub 2}, H{sub 2}O, see quarterly reports {number sign}7, 8), ZnO and Zn-Ti-O materials were evaluated in terms of reduction-sulfidation kinetic differences. Comparative Arrhenius plots of the initial reduction and sulfidation rates are shown for the sorbents ZnO, Z2T-a (2Zn:1Ti) and Z2T3-a (2Zn:3Ti). The reduction rate is shown for a gas containing (mol) 10%H{sub 2}-3%H{sub 2}O-87%N{sub 2}, while sulfidation is for 2%H{sub 2}S-98%N2. The point at which the initial reduction rate becomes faster than sulfidation rate is 848,872 and 942{degree}C, respectively, for ZnO, Z2T-a and Z2T3-a. Therefore, Zn-Ti-O solids can be used for the desulfurization of coal-derived fuel gas at higher temperatures than single ZnO. To determine the regenerability of Zn-Ti-O solids and their sulfidation performance after regeneration, two cycles of consecutive sulfidation-regeneration were performed with ZnO and Z2T-a. 2 figs.
