Hunt, Jennifer Morey, Aimee Suib, Steven L.Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, ISSN: 13871811, Vol: 127, Issue: 3, Date: February, 2010, Pages: 190-197 Create journal alertKeywords: Zinc oxide adsorbent; H2S; Deactivation model; Sulfur breakthrough; Dry-desulfurizationAbstract: A commercially available zinc oxide with a bimodal micro- and mesopore size distribution was investigated as a desulfurizing sorbent in a fixed-bed reactor at low temperatures from 60 to 400°C. Fresh and sulfided materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET specific surface area, pore volume, SEM/EDX, TGA/DSC and in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD). The sorbent舗s sorption capacity at breakthrough increased with the sulfidation temperature reaching 87% of the theoretical value for desulfurization at 400°C. A deactivation model that considers the activity of the solid reactant was used to fit the experimental data. Good agreement between the experimental breakthrough curves and the model predictions was obtained.

AbstractSulfur breakthrough behaviors during reformate desulfurization were investigated using a novel ZnO-based sorbent with minimized mass transfer resistance. The presence of CO, CO2, or water affected the breakthrough characteristics of H2S and carbonyl sulfide (COS). CO and CO2 did not significantly affect the reaction between H2S and ZnO, but they reacted with H2S to form COS, which cannot be efficiently removed by ZnO. The mechanisms of COS formation via two different pathways were also investigated. CO reacted with H2S to form COS homogeneously; CO2 reacted with H2S heterogeneously on the sulfide surface. COS formation by CO and CO2 was suppressed by H2 and water. Water also severely hindered the reaction between ZnO and H2S and significantly decreased H2S breakthrough time. At low water concentrations, sulfur breakthrough was determined by the homogeneous COS formation; at high water concentrations, it was controlled by H2S breakthrough. Capacity loss due to COS formation and adsorption of water was also observed. Novel sorbent and process designs are required to improve the desulfurization performance.

Deep Desulfurization of Model Gasoline by Adsorption on Mesoporous CeMCM-41
Authors: T. Ke a;H. Xin a
Affiliation: a School of Material and Chemical Engineering, Liaoning Institute of Technology, Jinzhou, China

Abstract
Cerium atoms have been introduced into the framework of MCM-41 by a hydrothermal synthesis method with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr) as template, sodium silicate as silica source, and cerium chloride as cerium source. Desulfurization of various model fuels containing about 500 μg/g sulfur were studied over the synthesized CeMCM-41 with a liquid hourly space velocity of 7.5 hr-1 at ambient conditions. The sulfur adsorption capacity was 10.0, 11.8, 14.0, and 15.4 mg(S)/g adsorbent for thiophene, dibenzothiophene (DBT), 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT), and tetrahydrothiophene (THT), respectively. The charges on S atom in thiophene, DBT, 4,6-DMDBT, and THT, calculated by using density functional theory (DFT), are -0.159, -0.211, -0.214, and -0.298, respectively, implying that the S-M bond between the adsorption sites and thiophene is much weaker than that between the adsorption sites and DBT, 4,6-DMDBT, or THT.
