Abstract
Removal of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) from coke oven gas has attracted increasing attention due to economic and environmental concerns. In this study, tannin extract (TE) absorption combined with binuclear sulfonated phthalocyanine cobalt organic polymer (OTS) and binuclear sulfonated phthalocyanine cobalt (PDS) with a fixed bed reactor is used for removal of H(2)S. The effect of gas flow rate, concentration of H(2)S, co-existence of organic sulfide compounds and O(2) were investigated. Then, the effect of total alkalinity content of TE, NaVO(3), OTS and PDS was studied in detail. The experimental results demonstrated that 100% H(2)S conversion could maintain for 13 h at a total alkalinity of 5.0 g/L, TE concentration of 4.0 g/L, NaVO(3) concentration of 5 g/L, and OTS and PDS concentration of 0.2 g/L and 0.2 g/L, respectively. The OTS and PDS showed synergistic effect on boosting TE desulfurization efficiency. The results provide a new route for the investigation of liquid catalyzed oxidation desulfurization in an efficient and low-cost way.
