Hydrogenation-Desulphurization
The natural gas feedstock contains upto 10 wt. ppm of
sulphur compounds which have to be removed in order
to avoid poisoning of the reforming catalyst in the
primary reformer, and the low temperature shift
catalyst in the CO converter. After desulphurization,
the the content of sulphur is less than 0.1 wt. ppm. The
desulphurization takes place in two stages. The organic
sulphur compounds are converted to H2S in
Hydrogenator and the H2S absorption will take place
in Sulphur Absorber.
The reaction involve in hydrogenator:
RSH + H2 → RH + H2S
R1SSR2 + 3H2 → R1H + R2H + 2H2S
R1SR2 + 2H2 → R1H + R2H+ 2H2S
(CH)4S + 4H2 → C4H10 + H2S
COS + H2 → CO + H2S
The reaction took place in ZnO
