Abstract
Reduced sulfur gas species (e.g., H2S, COS and CS2) are removed from a gas stream by compositions wherein a zinc titanate ingredient is associated with a metal oxide-aluminate phase material in the same particle species. Nonlimiting examples of metal oxides comprising the compositions include magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, nickel oxide, etc.
Claims19
A process for removing a reduced sulfur gas from a process stream, said process comprising contacting the process stream with a reduced sulfur gas sorbing composition comprising, in the same particle, zinc titanate and a metal oxide-aluminate phase in order to remove at least a portion of the reduced sulfur gas from the process stream, said particle being substantially free of unreacted alumina.
A process for removing a reduced sulfur species from a process stream, comprising:
- (a) providing an attrition-resistant particulate sorbent comprising a plurality of substantially uniform particles comprising a zinc titanate phase and a zinc oxide-aluminate phase, said zinc titanate phase being present in an amount of from about 5 w. % to about 80 w. % of said particles, said zinc oxide-aluminate phase being present in an amount of from about 20 w. % to about 95 w. % of said particles, said zinc titanate and zinc oxide-aluminate phases constituting at least about 80 w. % of said particles, and said particles being substantially free of unreacted alumina;
- and
- (b) contacting the process stream with said particulate sorbent under conditions sufficient to cause sorption of sulfur by said particulate sorbent.
