Abstract
This paper describes the results of the development of supported mixed-metal oxide sorbents for hot-gas desulfurization capable of withstanding multiple sulfidation/regeneration cycles at 871 °C (1600 °F). The sorbents consisted of various combinations of copper, molybdenum, and/or manganese oxides supported on a high silica-containing zeolite. These sorbents were tested in a fixed-bed reactor with simulated coal gas at 205 kPa (15 psig). The combination of all three metal oxides displayed synergism in enhancing efficiency for H2S removal and improved the crush strength on the pellets. Copper oxide was the most active component for reaction with H2S, while molybdenum and manganese oxides appeared to act as catalysts/promoters. During multicycle testing, this ternary metal oxide sorbent retained its reactivity and mechanical strength.
