Abstract

Surface variations of the Al−Cu−Cr catalytst in H2S and CO oxidation in the process of cleaning of tail gases from sulfur production have been examined. XPS data indicate that the interaction of CuCr2O4 spinel with H2S and SO2 produces CuSO4 on the catalyst surface and sulfate poisoning is of a reversible character.

Abstract

Исследовано изменение поверхности Al−Cu−Cr катализатора при окислении H2S и CO в условиях дожигания отходящих газов установок производства серы. С помощью РФЭС установлено взаимодействие шпинели CuCr2O4 с H2S и SO2 с образованием CuSO4 на поверхности катализатора и показано, что сульфатное отравление имеет обратимый характер.
