Evaluation of the zinox and zeolite materials as adsorbents to remove H2S from natural gas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mesoporous materials can be generally used as adsorbents to remove impurities from gases. During the past few years, H2S has been removed from natural gas using materials such as dolomite, zeolites, and industrial compounds, which can be widely used by oil and natural gas companies. The present study focused on the use of Zeolite 13X and Zinox 380 as H2S adsorbent at 25 C. They were characterized by chemical analyses (X-ray fluorescence and atomic absorption), X-ray diffraction, particle size distribution analyses and FT Infrared spectroscopy. Adsorption reactions were carried out using proposed models. The results revealed that both materials studied could be used as H2S adsorbents in natural gas exceeding the capabilities of industrial compounds. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Â In this study adiffusion based mathematical model was developed to compare the performance of amine-grafted adsorbents with that of 13X zeolite in a fixed-bed adsorption tower which is used to capture CO2 from both humid and dry nitrogen stream under industrial conditions. The results show that the performance of amine-grafted adsorbent and 13X zeolite is almost the same in the dry ...

In this work, adsorbents, namely bentonite and sludge, modified by iron and copper were used to remove the H2S and mercaptan from Kermanshah refinery. The used adsorbents are inexpensive materials, which substantially decrease the operational costs. The structure of the adsorbents was analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Th...

Carbon dioxide is known as a hazardous material with acidic property that can be found as impurity in natural gas reservoirs with a broad range of 2 up to 40 %. Therefore, many efforts have been directed to remove and separate carbon dioxide from methane to prevent corrosion problems as well as improving the natural gas energy content. In this study, two molecular sieves, silicoaluminophosphate...

Introduction: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic gas that has adverse effects on human health and equipment. One of the methods for eliminating of H2S gas is the use of adsorbent substrate. In this study, the effect of adding iron oxides including ferric (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles to ZSM-5 zeolite substrate was investigated on the efficiency of H2S elimination from the air strea...
