CeO2-La2O3/ZSM-5 sorbents for high-temperature H2S removal

Performance of CeO 2 -La 2 O 3 /ZSM-5 sorbents for sulfur removal was examined at temperature ranging from 500 oC to 700 oC. The sulfur capacity of 5Ce5La/ZSM-5 was much bigger than that of CeO 2 /ZSM-5. H 2 had a negative impact on the sulfidation; however, CO had little influence on sulfur removal. The characterization results showed that CeO 2 and La 2 O 3 were well dispersed on ZSM-5 because of the intimate admixing of La 2 O 3 and CeO 2 , the major sulfidation products were Ce 2 O 2 S and La 2 O 2 S, the XRD and SEM results revealed that ZSM-5 structure could remain intact during preparation and sulfidation process, the H 2 -TPR showed that the reducibility of CeO 2 can be remarkably enhanced by addition of La.
