  • First Online:
High-Temperature H2S Removal from IGCC Coarse Gas

Part of the book series: Energy and Environment Research in China ((EERC))

Abstract

Coal is found in huge amounts throughout the world and has lower cost as compared to other fossil fuels , it represents at present about 70% of the world’s proven fossil fuel resources; therefore, coal is probably to remain one of the most important sources of primary energy for a long time, playing a strategic role in the medium–long-term energy production systems. However, coal utilization has a few negative impacts on the environment and atmosphere; the critical issue in promoting coal utilization is environmental pollution control without reducing the energy efficiency. Coal is a complex chemical mixture composed of carbon, hydrogen, and dozens of trace elements. When coal is severed as a fuel source, some of these elements would convert to gaseous emissions, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) or hydrogen sulfide (H2S) , nitrogen oxides (NO x ) , mercury , and other chemical by-products via the coal combustion or thermal decomposition. These emissions have been established to possess detrimental effects on the environment and human health, which contributes to acid rain, lung cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
