This book was released on 1994 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An electrochemical membrane separation system for removing H2S from coal gasification product steams is the subject of this investigation. The high operating temperature, flow-through design, and capability of selective H2S removal and direct production of elemental sulfur offered by this process provide several advantages over existing and developmental H2S removal technologies. Two experiments (Run {number_sign}17 & {number_sign}18) examining the removal capability of the EMS with cobalt cathode were performed this quarter. The focus dealt with H2S removal as well as impeding hydrogen cross-over from the process gas side (cathode) of the membrane to the sweep gas side (anode).

This book was released on 1992 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An advanced process for the separation of hydrogen sulfide from coal gasification product streams through an electrochemical membrane is being developed. H2S is removed from the syn-gas stream, split into hydrogen, which enriches the syn-gas, and sulfur, which can be condensed from an inert gas sweep stream. The process allows removal of H2S without cooling the gas stream and with negligible pressure loss through the separator. The process is economically attractive by the lack of adsorbents and the lack of a Claus process for sulfur recovery. Research conducted during the present quarter is highlighted, with an emphasis on progress towards the goal of an economically viable H2S removal technology for use in coal gasification facilities providing polished fuel for co-generation coal fired electrical power facilities and Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell electrical power facilities. Polishing application of this technology to coal gasification synthesis gas has been demonstrated with H2S removals as high as 89.1% recorded. No successful runs with stainless steel housings have yet been achieved. However, since stoichiometric CO2 removal with stainless steel housings has been achieved, H2S removal is achievable.

The process is made economically attractive by the lack of need for a Claus process for sulfur recovery. To this extent the project presents a novel concept for improving utilization of coal for more efficient power generation. Past experiments using this concept dealt with identifying removal of 1--2% H2S from gases containing only H2S in N2, simulated natural gas, and simulated coal gas. Data obtained from these experiments resulted in extended studies into electrode kinetics and electrode stability in molten melts. The most recent experiments evaluated the polishing application (removal Of H2S below 10 ppm) using the Electrochemical Membrane Separator (EMS). H2S removal efficiencies over 90% were achieved at these stringent conditions of low H2S concentrations proving the technologies polishing capabilities. Other goals include optimization of cell materials capable of improving cell performance. Once cell materials are defined, cell experiments determining maximum removal capabilities and current efficiencies will be conducted. Also, a model theoretically describing the preferred reduction of H2S, the transport of S2−, and the competing transport of CO2 will be investigated. The model should identify the maximum current efficiency for H2S removal, depending on variables such as flow rate, temperature, current application, and the total cell potential.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coal may be used to generate electrical energy by any of several processes, most of which involve combustion or gasification. Combustion in a coal-fired boiler and power generation using a steam- cycle is the conventional conversion method; however, total energy conversion efficiencies for this type of process are only slightly over 30%. Integration of a gas-cycle in the process (combined cycle) may increase the total conversion efficiency to 40%. Conversion processes based on gasification offer efficiencies above 50%. H2S is the predominant gaseous contaminant in raw coal gas. Problems arise due to the corrosive nature of H2S on metal components contained in these cycles. Because of this, H2S concentrations must be reduced to low levels corresponding to certain power applications. An advanced process for the separation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from coal gasification product streams through an electrochemical membrane is being developed using funds from this grant. Past experiments using this concept dealt with identifying removal of 1-2% H2S from gases containing only H2S in N2, simulated natural gas, and simulated coal gas. Other goals include optimization of cell materials capable of improving cell performance. Once cell materials are defined, cell experiments determining maximum removal capabilities and current efficiencies will be conducted.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bench scale set-up was constructed to test the cell performance at 600-700 C and 1 atm. The typical fuel stream inlet proportions were 34% CO, 22% CO2, 35% H2, 8% H2O, and 450-2000 ppm H2S. The fundamental transport restrictions for sulfur species in an electrochemical cell were examined. Temperature and membrane thickness were varied to examine how these parameters affect the maximum flux of H2S removal. It was found that higher temperature allows more sulfide species to enter the electrolyte, thus increasing the sulfide flux across the membrane and raising the maximum flux of H2S removal. The results identify sulfide diffusion across the membrane as the rate-limiting step in H2S removal. The maximum H2S removal flux of 1.1 x 10-6 gmol H2S min−1 cm−2 (or 3.5 mA cm−2) was obtained at 650 C, with a membrane that was 0.9 mm thick, 36% porous, and had an estimated tortuosity of 3.6. Another focus of this thesis was to examine the stability of cathode materials in full cell trials. A major hurdle that remains in process scale-up is cathode selection, as the lifetime of the cell will depend heavily on the lifetime of the cathode material, which is exposed to very sour gas. Materials that showed success in the past (i.e. cobalt sulfides and Y{sub 0.9}Ca{sub 0.1}FeO3) were examined but were seen to have limitations in operating environment and temperature. Therefore, other novel metal oxide compounds were studied to find possible candidates for full cell trials. Gd2TiMoO-- and La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}VO3 were the compounds that retained their structure best even when exposed to high H2S, CO2, and H2O concentrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Electrochemical Membrane Separator (E.M.S.), the focus of experimental work, purges a fuel gas contaminated with H2S. This is done by reducing the most electro-active species in the gas stream. In this case, H2S is reduced by the following: H2S + 2e− --> H2 + S2−. A membrane which contains sulfide ions in a molten salt electrolyte will act to transport the ions across to the anode. If the membrane is impermeable to H2 diffusion from the cathode side, an inert sweep gas can be used to carry the vaporous oxidized sulfur downstream to be condensed. S2−--> 1/2 S2 +2e−. Processes to remove H2S typically rely on low-to-ambient temperature adsorption, followed by sorbent regeneration and Claus plant treatment for conversion of H2S to a salable by-product, sulfur. Although effective, this type of removal is very process- intensive as well as energy-inefficient due to low temperature operation. Gasification streams generally range from 500°C - 1000°C, requiring cooling before and reheating after process gas sweetening. Although these technologies have proven capable of meeting H2S levels required by molten carbonate fuel cell systems, there are several disadvantages inherent to these processes. Alternative high temperature methods are presently available, but process drawbacks including morphological changes in catalytic beds or inefficient molten salt sorbent processes negate savings incurred through energy efficient removal temperatures. An electrochemical membrane separation system for removing H2S from coal gasification product streams is the subject of this investigation. The high operating temperature, flow-through design, and capability of selective H2S removal and direct production of elemental sulfur offered by this process provide several advantages over existing and developmental H2S removal technologies. 17 refs., 21 figs., 1 tab.

Book excerpt: An advanced process for the separation of hydrogen sulfide H2S from coal gasification product streams through an electrochemical membrane is developed using funds from this grant. H2S is removed from the syngas stream, split into hydrogen, which enriches the exiting syngas, and sulfur, which is condensed from an inert sweep gas stream. The process allows removal of H2S without cooling the gas stream and with negligible pressure loss through the separator. The process is made economically attractive by the lack of need of a Claus process for sulfur recovery. To this extent the project presents a novel concept for improving utilization of coal for more efficient power generation. This quarter focused on replacing the MACOR cell housings with stainless steel, which is more industrially suitable. Three runs were attempted this quarter, with successful results achieved in Run 34. The purpose of these experiments was: (1) test the electrochemical membrane separator's ability to concentrate CO2, (2) test the electrochemical membrane separator's ability to remove H2S; and (3) test stainless steel as an alternative cell housing to MACOR as well as test nickel cathode performance at the reduced temperature.

The instability of the tiles at molten conditions (> 550°C), provided the necessary mechanism for H2 to penetrate the membrane. Once H2 cross-over occurs the entire objective of electrochemical separation becomes nullified. The Zircar membranes used last quarter provided excellent protection against H2, prompting a reversion back to them. If porosities are strictly adhered to and the water-gas shift is properly handled, the membranes should provide an adequate mechanism for selective H2S removal.

Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to develop advanced high-temperature coal gas desulfurization mixed-metal oxide sorbents with stable ammonia decomposition materials at 550--800 C. The specific objectives of the project are to: (1) develop combined sorbent-catalyst materials which shall be capable of removing hydrogen sulfide to less than 20 ppmv and ammonia by at least 90%; (2) carry out comparative fixed-bed studies of absorption and regeneration with various formulations of sorbent-catalyst systems and select the most promising sorbent-catalyst type; and (3) conduct long-term (at least 30 cycles) durability and chemical reactivity in the fixed-bed with the superior sorbent-catalyst. The activities of the HART 42 and HART 41 sorbent-catalysts were tested using the simulated coal gas. Figures show the H2S removal ability, its ammonia decomposition activity, and the H2S breakthrough profiles as a function of time. The pre-breakthrough H2S level was below 100 ppm. Nearly complete sorbent conversion (100%) was observed at breakthrough. The HART 42 sorbent-catalysts showed moderate catalytic activity (50% average conversion) for ammonia decomposition. The average conversion decreased from 66 to 47% as the temperature was increased from 600 to 750 C for HART 41 sorbent-catalysts.
