Abstract

This paper presents a detailed kinetic study of H2S oxidation with presence of CO2 under fuel rich condition. Effect of CO2 reactivity on the partial oxidation of H2S was particularly studied via tube furnace experiment and detailed kinetic analysis with CHEMKIN-PRO software. A detailed kinetic model involving 90 species and 596 reactions was developed and validated using experimental data with respect to production of H2, and conversions of CO2 and H2S under different conditions by altering the initial gas composition temperature and residence time. In the tube furnace experiment, it was found that decomposition of H2S and conversion of CO2 were promoted by increase in temperature while H2 production decreased and CO concentration evidently increased at temperature higher than 1450K, which could be explained by CO2+H=CO+OH. The degree of this reaction as features the major reactivity of CO2 is obviously dependent on residence time whilst H2S partial oxidation proceeds much swiftly at 1473K or higher temperature. In addition to the experiment, rate of production (ROP) analysis for H2S, H and OH were performed by CHEMKIN-PRO. It was found for the partial oxidation of H2S, reactions S+SH=S2+H and SH+SH=H+HSS are important in H producing while H2S+O=SH+OH and H2O2(+M)=OH+OH(+M) are key steps for OH producing. Presence of CO2 prolonged the OH production process via CO2+H=CO+OH to the whole residence time which definitely differed from the condition without CO2. Thereby production selectivity of SO2 and H2O was promoted while that of H2 and S2 were degraded when CO2 was considerably present in the H2S partial oxidation scenario.
