Abstract

Gases from gasification processes contain H2S Which is highly harmful for almost all catalyst materials and metal constructions such as in IGCC plants. Metal oxides and/or their admixtures are widely used for the removal of H2S from gases at high temperatures. These sorbents, however, suffer from several problems which adversely affect their performances.
