Ck. Yi et al., Simultaneous experiments of sulfidation and regeneration in two pressurized fluidized-bed reactors for hot gas desulfurization of IGCC, KOR J CHEM, 18(6), 2001, pp. 1005-1009
Hot Gas Desulfurization for TGCC is a new method to efficiently remove H2S
in fuel gas with regenerable sorbents at high temperature and high-pressure
conditions. The Korea Institute of Energy Research did operation of sulfid
ation in a desulfurizer and regeneration in a regenerator simultaneously at
high pressure and high temperature conditions. The H2S concentration at ex
it was maintained continuously below 50 ppmv at 11,000 ppmv of inlet H2S co
ncentration. The sorbent had little effect on the reducing power in the inl
et gas in the range from 11% to 33% of H-2. As inlet H2S concentration was
increased, H2S concentration in the product gas was also increased linearly
. The sorbent was maintained at low sulfur level by the continuous regenera
tion and the continuous solid circulation at the rate of 1.58 x 10(-3) kg/s
with little mean particle size change.
