Abstract:
A sulfur sorbent composition includes a support structure and a double oxide sulfur scavenger that is supported on the support structure. The support structure may be diatomaceous earth or a zeolitic-type mineral, and the sulfur scavenger a metal and/or a metal oxide and/or a combination of two or more metal and/or oxides. The sulfur sorbent composition can be used either as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with a fuel reformer to provide a sulfur-free stream.

Abstract:
Embodiments provide a method for detecting an unsaturated compound, the method comprising monitoring change in electrical properties of substances such as halides of copper that reacts or interacts with unsaturated compounds such as acetylene. Other embodiments provide a sensor for detecting acetylene gas comprising a substrate having a surface, electrodes in electrical communication with said surface, and a sensor layer formed of metal halide.
