Efficient Absorptive Oxidation of H_(2)S Using a Fe(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) Coupled DES (ChCl/EG) Desulfurizer

In this experiment,an EG/ChCl deep eutectic solvent(DES)was synthesized using choline chloride(ChCl)and ethylene glycol(EG)as the raw materials.The synthesized DES was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis.The results demonstrate the successful synthesis of DES.A certain amount of FeCl_(3) and CuSO_(4) was added to the DES to promote the absorption of H_(2)S;thus,a Fe(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ)coupled DES desulfurization system was obtained.The effects of DES raw materials’ratio,FeCl_(3) concentration,water content,CuSO_(4) concentration,and reaction temperature on the desulfurization efficiency and the regeneration conditions were studied.The results show that ChCl/EG DES with a molar ratio of 1:2 has a better desulfurization effect,and the addition of an appropriate amount of water can effectively promote the dissolution of CuSO_(4) and the absorption of H_(2)S.An appropriate increase in reaction temperature and CuSO_(4) concentration would also promote the absorption of H_(2)S.When the concentration of CuSO_(4) in DES desulfurizer was 0.15 mol/L,the gas speed was 20 mL/min,and the sulfur capacity could reach 10.23 g/L.The desulfurizer could be regenerated by passing O_(2),and the desulfurization efficiency did not change much after repeated use of desulfurization-regeneration many times.The desulfurization product was characterized by XRD as rhombohedral sulfur.

Study on Desulfurization Efficiency and Products of Ce-Doped Nanosized ZnO Desulfurizer at Ambient Temperature

Ce-doped nanosized ZnO desulfurizer was prepared by homogeneous precipitation,and its desulfurization efficiency at ambient temperature was investigated through dynamic experiments.The results showed that the desulfurization activity of nanosized Ce-ZnO had improved greatly,compared to nanosized ZnO desulfurizer.Nanosized Ce-ZnO desulfurizer was characterized by XRD,TPD-MS,XPS,and TEM.The research results indicated that doping Ce decreased the particle size of the nanosized ZnO desulfurizer and ZnS was the principal desulfurization product.There were adsorption complexes of HS and S on the surface of desulfurizer as well.Only a small amount of vapor appeared in the tail gas on the condition of meeting the precision of desulfurization.

Modification of Bitumen with Desulfurized Crumb Rubber in the Present of Reactive Additives

Bitumen was modified with desulfurized crumb rubber (DCR) in the present of reac tive additives. The effect of the kinds and content of the reactive additive on prop erties of DCR modified bitumen (DCRMB) was investigated. The morphology of DCRMB was characterized by SEM and the changes of the chemical structure of DCRMB wit hout and with the addition of the reactive additive were analyzed by FTIR. The e xperimented results show that the softening point,the elasticity recovery and th e storage stability of DCRMB were improved significantly by the addition of the reactive additive. This is because that a network structure of rubber in DCRMB w as formed and the chemical reaction between C=C double bonds in bitumen and DCR has happened after the reactive additive was added into DCRMB.

Microstructure and Properties of Desulfurized Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen

The microstructures of general crumb rubber(CR), dynamic desulfurized crumb rubber(DDCR) and high speed agitation desulfurized crumb rubber(HSADCR) modified bitumens were investigated by a fluorescence microscope, and the physical properties of these three modified bitumens were studied.The results show that the dynamic desulfuration can improve the swelling capacity of crumb rubber in bitumen by destroying the sulfuratized bond of the crumb rubber,but the reunion of rubber particles during dynamic desulfuration also makes the swelling and the DDCR in bitumen difficult, so properties of the DDCR modified bitumen are not superior to the general crumb rubber modified bitumen.However,high speed agitation desulfuration can not only improve the swelling capacity of crumb rubber in bitumen,but also avoid the reunion of rubber particles,so some properties of bitumen can be improved by the modification of HSADCR.

Sulfur dioxide is one of the major pollutants resulting from fuel combustion. In this study, CaO and attapulgite were utilized as raw material for synthesizing CaO/attapulgite (CaO/ATP) desulfurizer. The physicochemical characteristics of CaO/ATP desulfurizer were evaluated by various techniques such as XRD, SEM, FT-IR. The performance of samples was studied in dynamic conditions. Major factors affecting on desulfurization such as weight ratio of CaO to total, types of modifiers, roasting time and temperature were investigated. The desulfurization agent synthesized under optimal synthesis conditions with CaO content of 30 wt% and NaOH modifier, and the desulfurization roasting time of 2 hours and roasting temperature of 600°C, exhibit sulfur tolerance of 10.15 wt%. This desulfurizer with excellent absorbency and catalysis of desulfurization, economical and?environment-friendly, could be especially useful in industrial applications.

Effect of relative humidity on the desulfurization performance of calcium-based desulfurizer

Low desulfurization efficiency impedes the wide application of dry desulfurization technology,which is a low-cost and simple process,and one significant solution is the development and manufacture of high-performance desulfurizers.In this study,firstly,a steam jet mill was used to digest quicklime;then,we utilized numerical simulation to study the flow field distribution and analyze the driving factors of quicklime digestion;and lastly,the desulfurization performance of the desulfurizer was evaluated under different relative humidities.The results show that the desulfurizer prepared via the steam jet mill had better apparent activity than traditional desulfurizers.Also,the entire jet flow field of the steam jet mill is in a supersonic and highly turbulent flow state,with high crushing intensity and good particle acceleration performance.Sufficient contact with the nascent surface maximizes the formation of slaked lime.The experiments demonstrated that the operating time with 100%desulfurization efficiency and the“break-through”time for the desulfurizer prepared via the steam jet mill is longer than that of traditional desulfurizers,and has significant advantages,especially at low flue gas relative humidity.Compared with traditional desulfurizers,the desulfurizer prepared via steam jet mill expands the range of acceptable flue gas temperature,and the failure temperature is 1.625 times that of traditional desulfurizers.This work breaks through the technical bottleneck of low dry desulfurization efficiency,which is an important step in pushing forward the application of dry desulfurization.

Heavy metal pollution risk of desulfurized steel slag as a soil amendment in cycling use of solid wastes

The by-product of wet flue gas desulfurization,desulfurized steel slag(DS),had chemical characteristics like natural gypsum that can be used to improve saline-sodic soil.However,contamination risk of heavy metals for cycling utilization of DS in agriculturewas concerned mostly.Both pot and field experiments were conducted for evaluating the potential pollution risk of DS as the amendment of saline-sodic soil.Results showed that application of DS decreased the contents of Cd,Cu,Zn,and Pb,while significantly increasing chromium(Cr)content in DS-amended soils.The field experiment demonstrated that the migration of heavy metals(Cd,Zn,Cu,and Pb)in the soil profile was negligible.The application of DS at the dosage of 22.5–225 tons/ha significantly increased the Cr content in alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.)but lower than the national standard for feed in China(GB 13078-2017).DS altered the chemical fraction of heavy metals(Zn,Cu,and Pb),transferred exchangeable,reducible into oxidizable and residual forms in DS-amended soil.Application of DS combined with fulvic acid(FA)could effectively reduce the movement of heavy metals in soil and the accumulation of Cr in alfalfa.Based on our results,DS was a safe and feasible material for agricultural use and presented relatively little pollution risk of heavy metals.However,the results also showed that DS to a certain extent had a potential environmental risk of Cr if larger dosages of DS were used.

Corrosion Behaviors of Pure Titanium and Its Weldment in Simulated Desulfurized Flue Gas Condensates in Thermal Power Plant Chimney

The corrosion behaviors of pure titanium and its weldment welded by tungsten inert gas （TIG） welding in simulated desulfurized flue gas condensates in thermal power plant chimney were investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） and immersion tests. The effects of heat input and shielding gases on the corrosion behavior of the welded titanium were also studied. Grain coarsening and Widmanst^itten structure were found in both the fusion zone and the heat-affected zone. The welded titanium exhibited active-passive behavior in the simulated condensates. Both the polarization curves and EIS measurements confirmed that TIG welding process with different parameters had few effects on the corrosion behavior. It was proved that the microstructure changes were not the key material factors affecting the corrosion behavior of pure titanium under the test conditions, while the oxide film had remarkable effect on improving the corrosion resistance.

Synergistic catalysis of the N-hydroxyphthalimide on flower-like bimetallic metal-organic frameworks for boosting oxidative desulfurization

Synergic catalytic effect between active sites and supports greatly determines the catalytic activity for the aerobic oxidative desulfurization of fuel oils.In this work,Ni-doped Co-based bimetallic metal-organic framework(CoNi-MOF)is fabricated to disperse N-hydroxyphthalimide(NHPI),in which the whole catalyst provides plentiful synergic catalytic effect to improve the performance of oxidative desulfurization(ODS).As a bimetallic MOF,the second metal Ni doping results in the flower-like morphology and the modification of electronic properties,which ensure the exposure of NHPI and strengthen the synergistic effect of the overall catalyst.Compared with the monometallic Co-MOF and naked NHPI,the NHPI@CoNi-MOF triggers the efficient activation of molecular oxygen and improves the ODS performance without an initiator.The sulfur removal of dibenzothiophene-based model oil reaches 96.4%over the NHPI@CoNi-MOF catalyst in 8 h of reaction.Furthermore,the catalytic product of this aerobic ODS reaction is sulfone,which is adsorbed on the catalyst surface due to the difference in polarity.This work provides new insight and strategy for the design of a strong synergic catalytic effect between NHPI and bimetallic supports toward high-activity aerobic ODS materials.

Few-layered hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets stabilized Pt NPs for oxidation promoted adsorptive desulfurization of fuel oil

A few-layered hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets stabilized platinum nanoparticles(Pt/h-BNNS)is engineered for oxidation-promoted adsorptive desulfurization(OPADS)of fuel oil.It was found that the few-layered structure and the defective sites of h-BNNS not only are beneficial to the stabilization of Pt NPs but also favor the adsorption of aromatic sulfides.By employing Pt/h-BNNS with a Pt loading amount of 1.19 wt%as the active adsorbent and air as an oxidant,a 98.0%sulfur removal over dibenzothiophene(DBT)is achieved along with a total conversion of the DBT to the corresponding sulfones(DBTO_(2)).Detailed experiments show that the excellent desulfurization activity originates from the few-layered structure of h-BNNS and the high catalytic activity of Pt NPs.In addition,the OPADS system with Pt/h-BNNS as the active adsorbent shows remarkable stability in desulfurization performance with the existence of different interferents such as olefin,and aromatic hydrocarbons.Besides,the Pt/h-BNNS can be recycled 12 times without a significant decrease in desulfurization performance.Also,a process flow diagram is proposed for deep desulfurization of fuel oil and recovery of high value-added products,which would promote the industrial application of such OPADS strategy.

Polyurethane/desulfurization ash(PU/DA)composites were synthesized using"one-pot method",with the incorporation of a silane coupling agent(KH550)as a"molecular bridge"to facilitate the integration of DA as hard segments into the PU molecular chain.The effects of DA content(φ)on the mechanical properties,thermal stability,and hydrophobicity of PU,both before and after the addition of KH550,were thoroughly examined.The results of microscopic mechanism analysis confirmed that KH550 chemically modified the surface of DA,facilitating its incorporation into the polyurethane molecular chain,thereby significantly enhancing the compatibility and dispersion of DA within the PU matrix.When the mass fraction of modified DA(MDA)reached 12%,the mechanical properties,thermal stability,and hydrophobicity of the composites were substantially improved,with the tensile strength reaching 14.9 MPa,and the contact angle measuring 100.6°.

CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-CaF2-MgO was selected as the slag system for desulfurization in LF process.The reaction between steel and slag during desulfurization has been simulated by using Factsage software to study the influence of component on the sulfur distribution ratio.In order to research the influence of CaO content,aluminum powder content and its granularity on desulfurization,laboratory experiments have been carried out in a 200 kg inductive furnace.Results showed that the optimal composition of deep desulfurizer is wCaO=64% and aluminium powder 10% with a granularity of 30 μm.Industrial trials showed that the main composition range of final slag in LF process is wCaO=53.0%-57.0%,wAl2O3=23.4%-25.1%,wSiO2=8.1%-10.0%,and wCaF2=3.2%-4.7%.The sulfur mass percent in steel is lower than 0.0008% with a desulfurization rate above 89%.According to the result of industrial production,this desulfurizer could meet the production requirement for ultra-low sulfur steel,of which sulfur mass percent is under 0.0015%

Study of MgO-Based Desulfurizer in Hot Metal Desulfurization

This paper has investigated a new desulfurizer for iron and steel industry to make up the lackness of magnesium-based desulfurizer. In order to explore the desulfurization process of hot metal by the new desulfurizer, both the thermodynamics and experiments have been studied.. The results of thermodynamics indicated that, under the standard condition,the lowest reaction temperatures of MgO + C and MgO +Si were 1846℃ and 2132℃ and the pressure of Mg vapor at the hot metal temperature were 0.2-0.5kPa and 0.005-0.01kPa, respectively. In the case of reaction between MgO and Al, the calculated starting reaction temperature under standard condition was 1475 ℃, and the pressure of Mg vapor was distributed from 27 kPa to 45kPa at the hot metal temperature, showing that it was easy to happen the reaction of MgO+Al. The experimental results displayed that the desulfurization efficiency was only 42.31% by the desulfurizer of MgO and C, while the effect of MgO+ Al and MgO+ Al-Si was good, since the desulfurization efficiencies were above 85%, and the lowest sulfur content was below 40×10-6.

Integration of Desulfurization and Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Enabled by Amino-Functionalized Porous Carbon Nanofibers

Hydrogen sulfide(H_(2)S)is an industrial exhausted gas that is highly toxic to humans and the environment.Combining desulfurization and fabrication of cathode materials for lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)can solve this issue with a double benefit.Herein,the amino-functionalized lotus root-like carbon nanofibers(NH_(2)-PLCNFs)are prepared by the amination of electrospinning carbon nanofibers under dielectric barrier discharge plasma.Selective catalytic oxidation of H_(2)S to elemental sulfur(S)is achieved over the metalfree NH_(2)-PLCNFs catalyst,and the obtained composite S@NH_(2)-PLCNFs is further used as cathode in LSBs.NH_(2)-PLCNFs enable efficient desulfurization(removal capacity as high as 3.46 g H_(2)S g^(−1) catalyst)and strongly covalent stabilization of S on modified carbon nanofibers.LSBs equipped with S@NH_(2)-PLCNFs deliver a high specific capacity of 705.8 mA h g^(−1) at 1 C after 1000 cycles based on the spatial confinement and the covalent stabilization of electroactive materials on amino-functionalized porous carbon matrix.It is revealed that S@NH_(2)-PLCNFs obtained by this kind of chemical vapor deposition leads to a more homogeneous S distribution and superior electrochemical performance to the sample S/NH_(2)-PLCNF-M prepared by the traditional molten infusion.This work opens a new avenue for the combination of environment protection and energy storage.

The ultra-deep desulfurization of oil needs to be solved urgently due to various problems,including environmental pollution and environmental protection requirements.Oxidative desulfurization(ODS)was considered to be the most promising technology.The facile synthesis of highly efficient and stable HPW-based heterogeneous catalysts for oxidative desulfurization is still a challenging task.In this paper,pentamethylene hexamine(PEHA)and phosphotungstic acid(HPW)were combined by a simple one-step method to prepare a heterogeneous catalyst of PEHA-HPW for the production of ultra-deep desulfurization fuel oil.The composite material exhibited excellent catalytic activity and high recyclability,which could reach a 100% dibenzothiophene(DBT)removal rate in 30 min and be recycled at least 5 times.Experiments and DFT simulations were used to better examine the ODS mechanism of PEHA-HPW.It was proved that the rich amino groups on the surface of PEHA-HPW play a crucial role.This work provides a simple and feasible way for the manufacture of efficient HPW-based catalysts.

Research on process modeling and simulation of spent lead paste desulfurization enhanced reactor

In the reaction process of carbonate desulfurization lead paste,the produced PbCO_(3) is easily wrapped in the outer periphery of PbSO_(4) to form a product layer,hindering the mass transfer process.Therefore,it is necessary to break the PbCO_(3) product layer.In this work,the rotor stator-reinforced reactor was selected as the enhanced desulfurization reactor for the purpose of breaking the PbCO_(3) product layer and promoting mass transfer.The breakage process of the PbCO_(3) product layer generated during the PbSO_(4) desulfurization was modeled.Computational fluid dynamics simulation to the rotation conditions was carried out to theoretically analyze the fluid flow characteristics of PbSO_(4) slurry and the wall shear stress affecting the breakage of PbCO_(3) product layer.By optimizing the rotation conditions,the distribution ratio of effective rotor wall shear stress range achieved 96.1%,and the stator wall shear stress range reached 99.15%under a rotation of 2000 r·min^(-1).The research work provides a reference for analysis of the mechanism of product layer breakage in the PbSO_(4) desulfurization process,and gives a clear and intuitive systematic study on the fluid flow characteristics and wall shear stress of the desulfurization reactor.

Encapsulation of ionic liquid, phosphotungstic acid inside the nanocages of MIL-101(Cr): Effective and reusable catalyst for efficient solvent-free oxidative desulfurization from fuel oil

Oxidative desulfurization from fuel oil is one of the important methods for deep desulfurization.The development of efficient oxidative desulfurization catalysts is crucial for improving the desulfurization performance.Successful encapsulation of phosphotungstic acid(HPW)and ionic liquid(BMImBr)inside the mesoporous cages of MIL-101(Cr)was accomplished through a combination of“bottle around ship”and“ship in bottle”methods.The obtained BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)composite was characterized by XRD,FTIR,BET,SEM,XPS and ICP methods.Results indicated that the BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)composites with PW^(3−) loading of 23.1–50.7 wt%were obtained,demonstrating that the“bottle around ship”method is beneficial to make full use of nanocages of MIL-101(Cr)to obtain expected high loading of active PW^(3−) .The BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)exhibits excellent reusability with no evidence of leaching of active PW^(3−) and BMIm^(+),and well-preserved structure after successive cycles of regeneration and reuse.The significantly improved stability of BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)as compared to HPW@MIL-101(Cr)is possibly because the leaching of the active PW^(3−) −sites can be greatly suppressed by forming large size of BMImPW owing to introduction of BMIm^(+)cation.The BMImPW@MIL-101(Cr)exhibited excellent catalytic activity for solvent free oxidative desulfurization of refractory sulfides.The enhanced oxidative desulfurization activity as compared to HPW@MIL-101(Cr)can be explained by the intimate contact of sulfides with active PW^(3−) sites owing the strong attraction of BMIm^(+)cation with the sulfides.
