摘要:
A process is described for the elimination of hydrogen sulfide from gas mixtures by catalytic oxidation over activated carbon catalyst which converts the hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur and water, the former being sorbed by the activated carbon while the latter is transported with the gas mixture and may be removed by known dehydration processes. The above oxidative process is conducted at elevated temperatures and pressures and with sufficient residence time to assure virtually complete conversion of the hydrogen sulfide with minimal production of by-product sulfur dioxide. Traces of heavy hydrocarbons in the feed gas mixture which may reduce the life of the catalyst and the quality of the sulfur product may be removed by cryogenic means or by sorption on an activated carbon guard bed. Both the activated carbon catalyst used to oxidize the hydrogen sulfide and the activated carbon used to remove heavy hydrocarbons from the feed gas may be regenerated by passing inert gas or product gas through the beds of these materials at elevated temperatures for sufficient time to remove the sorbed sulfur or the heavy hydrocarbons, respectively for use as by-products of the process.
摘要:
A method for selectively oxidizing hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur is disclosed. The method is performed at a temperature ranged from 50 to 400° C. and at a pressure ranged from 0.1 to 50 atm. The elemental sulfur can be effectively recovered from a gas mixture containing hydrogen sulfide in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst includes a vanadium-containing material and a catalytic substance selected from the group consisting of scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), samarium (Sm) and compounds thereof. In another embodiment, this catalyst further includes an antimony-containing promoter (antimony compounds) which further exhibit a more effective catalytic performance.

The claimed invention relates to a catalytic process for the selective oxidation of sulfur-containing compounds, in particular hydrogen sulfide, to form elemental sulfur. The catalyst includes a carrier of which the surface exposed to the gaseous phase does not exhibit alkaline properties under the reaction conditions, and a catalytically active material applied thereto or formed thereon. The specific surface area of the catalyst is less than 20 m.sup.2 /g catalyst, with less than 10% of the total pore volume having a pore radius between 5 and 500 .ANG.. A process for preparing the catalyst is also disclosed.
摘要:
H.sub.2 S is directly oxidized to elemental sulfur by contacting an H.sub.2 S containing gas stream having a water content less than 10% by volume with air or oxygen over a catalyst containing at least 80 wt % titanium dioxide. Most of the H.sub.2 S in the gas is oxidized to elemental sulfur. The process is especially useful for recovery of additional sulfur from effluent gas from a Claus unit.
摘要:
A process for the removal of H.sub.2 S from a feed gas, and the production of sulfur therefrom, is effected by oxidation with oxygen and/or SO.sub.2 at temperatures between 250.degree. and 450.degree. F. The oxidation is conducted in the presence of an extremely stable oxidation catalyst comprising an oxide and/or sulfide of vanadium supported on a non-alkaline porous refractory oxide. Sulfur deposition and consequent catalyst deactivation are prevented by maintaining the partial pressure of free sulfur in the oxidation reactor below that necessary for condensation. H.sub.2, CO, and light hydrocarbons present in the feed gas are not oxidized. Typical uses of the process include the removal of H.sub.2 S and the production of sulfur from sour natural gases or gases obtained from the gasification of coal.Feed gases which contain SO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 S in mole ratios greater than 0.5, or which contain other gaseous sulfur compounds such as COS, CS.sub.2, SO.sub.3 and mercaptans, can be desulfurized by hydrogenating all of such sulfur components to H.sub.2 S and subsequently removing the H.sub.2 S from the hydrogenated feed gas by the oxidation process of the invention. This hydrogenation-oxidation combination is especially contemplated for the desulfurization of Claus tail gases and stack gas effluents.
