The thermodynamic feasibility of simultaneous desulfurization and sulfur recovery from natural gas with the solution of heteropoly compound was proved to be applicable by the experimental result of potential pH curves. At present, no proof was given on the exact number of electron transferred during the redox reaction between sodium phosphomolybdate and reductants including hydrogen sulfide. The research here also reveals the reaction mechanism between sodium phosphomolybdate and hydrogen sulfide. With the aid of ISE, DSC and EMS, the mechanism of desulfurization reaction was studied. The reaction products contain little deposition compounds of molybdenum and vanadium, indicating that sodium phosphomolybdate is still much stable in its chemical property after many times of absorption regeneration cycles, the agent loss is much lower than that of the chelate iron method. The chemical equation of sodium phosphomolybdate and H 2S was proposed to be: H 2S+Na 2HPMo Ⅵ 12 O 40 S↓+Na 2H 3PMo Ⅵ 10 Mo Ⅴ 2O 40 i.e ., there are two Mo(Ⅵ) atoms reduced to Mo(Ⅴ). Therefore, the theoretical saturation sulfur loading capacity of sodium phosphomolybdate is twice that of chelate iron with the same molar concentration.展开更多
