Abstract
Activated carbon as catalyst for selective partial oxidation of H2S to elemental sulfur has been a preferred approach for removing sulfur from hydrogen rich gas streams containing trace amounts of H2S. A study to understand why various activated carbons behave differently and why laboratory-made carbons display exceptional catalytic performance was carried out using different gas streams. Results using two typical activated carbons showed useful trends on the formation of by-products and suggested that the microstructure of the laboratory-made carbon and its capacity for catalyzing COS partial oxidation are likely causes for its unique catalytic performances. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 229th ACS National Meeting (San Diego, CA 3/13-17/2005).
