Abstract
As the ideal fuel for proton-exchange membrane fuel cells, hydrogen will mainly be generated from fossil fuels by steam reforming or partial oxidation before a long term energy solution is developed. The formation of COS is a problem for the use of commercial activated carbons as the oxidation catalysts of H2S in reformate. Test results of an activated carbon made at ORNL were presented, and compared with those of selected commercial carbons using reformate as the model gas stream. The formation of COS is a problem for the use of commercial activated carbons as the oxidation catalysts of H2S in reformate. The activated carbon synthesized at ORNL has the ability to selectively oxidize H2S down to parts per billion level without detectable occurrence of unwanted side-reactions.
