Description

METHOD AND AGENT FOR DESULPHURISATION
The invention relates to desulphurisation and in particular to the purification of streams (liquid or gas or both) by the partial or complete removal of sulphur compounds, e.g. hydrogen sulphide, low molecular weight mercaptans, or the like therefrom. The invention may also be applied to the purification of air or other gas containing sulphur compounds. The invention relates to a method and a desulphurisation agent.
In one aspect the invention provides a method of reducing the content of a sulphur compound in stream of gas and/or liquid, the method comprising contacting the stream with a desulphurisation agent comprising at least one compound of manganese and at least one compound of iron.
The desulphurisation may be performed, for example, at a temperature from about ambient up to about 450°C, preferably from about 20°C to about 450°C, most preferably from about 40°C to about 150°C. Preferably the compounds are the oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, e.g. hydroxycarbonate or basic carbonate or the like of both manganese and iron. These active ingredients may be incorporated within a carrier of the invention by simple impregnation or impregnation/deposition, co forming, precipitation from aqueous solution or other techniques well known to those skilled in the art of catalyst preparation. The carrier may be alumina, sihca, alumino silicates or the like. The content of the carrier material will be in the range 1 to 40% by weight. Preferably the compounds are in the relative molar proportions of 8:1 to 1 :8, most preferably about 1 :1.
In a preferred feature the desulphurisation agent comprises shaped particles. The particles may be presented in a variety of shapes and sizes preferably as spheres; extrudates, granules, tablets or the like. A binding agent such as cement, alumina, clay, sihca, orgamc resins or the like may be present to enhance the physical properties of the shaped material. The shaped material may require exposure to elevated temperatures to achieve the optimum bond strength. Preferably the agent includes a promoter which is one or more of potassium hydroxide, nickel hydroxide and sodium hydroxide, optionally with a derivative of zinc. The concentration of the promoter is preferably in the range of from about 1% to about 10%. The inclusion of copper or copper compounds has proved to be beneficial because it will scavenge lower concentrations of sulphur compounds and also remove arsine.
In a further preferred feature the shaped desulphurisation agent is porous. The pore volume will be in the range of 0.1 to 0.6 ml/g, preferably 0.25-0.45 ml/g. It is recognised that the shaped porous materials should exhibit a significant level of macro porosity.
The desulphurisation agent may be used in a fixed bed, a fluid bed or a moving bed. The choice of the reactor system will depend on generated requirements and the nature of the gas stream, e.g. sour feed. Particle sizes of about 3 to about 6mm are particularly useful in a fixed bed. In a fluid bed, the particle size is preferably in the range about 20 to about 120 microns, most preferably about 30 to about 100 microns.
For the moving bed, the particle size is preferably in the range about 120 to 600
microns, most preferably about 200 to about 500 microns.
The method of the invention may be enhanced by the incorporation of materials with
sorption properties. Such materials may be added according to the physical form of the desulphurisation agent. They may be added on to the surface or within the pores of a porous desulphurisation agent or in the bulk phase. Such materials may be catalytically
active. The materials (which may be included either singly or in combination) are
preferably oxides, carbonates, sihcates, phosphates of alkah metals, alkaline earths, rare
earths, Zn, Co, Ni, Mo, Cr, Cu, Ti, Zr, Si, Al, precious metals. The materials may be incorporated within the material of the invention by impregnation, deposition, coforming, precipitation techniques well known to those skilled in the art of catalyst
preparation. The content of the sorption materials may range from about 0.5 to 40%
by weight, preferably in the range 2 to 20% by weight.
In a preferred feature of the invention, other reagents are associated with the
desulphurisation agent to react with other substances present in the stream to be
treated at from about ambient to about 250°C. One such reagent is an alkaline reagent
such as alkah metal hydroxide or silicate, the alkah metal is preferably sodium. Such an alkaline reagent will react with halides or strongly acidic gases present in the sour
feed such as SOx to form halide or sulphite respectively (which may be recovered later). The reagents may be impregnated into the desulphurisation agent or incorporated into the bulk phase by other means well known to those skilled in the art of catalyst preparation.
The spent desulphurisation agent of the invention may be regenerated by exposure to an oxidising atmosphere e.g. air at elevated temperature. The presence of steam when regenerating may be beneficial.
In another aspect the method of the present invention includes the further step of exposing the spent agent to oxidation at elevated temperature to remove the sulphur compounds and regenerate the agent for re-use.
The sulphur compound to be removed may be hydrogen sulphide gas or a low molecular weight mercaptan such as propyl mercaptan. The hydrocarbon stream may be liquid or gas or both, examples being natural gas, town gas, industrial waste gas, coke oven gas, coal gas, liquid or gas from petroleum plant oil refinery. Effluent streams from biomass digesters, general industrial process may also be treated.
The method may be performed at pressures ranging from about atmospheric to about
100 atmospheres without adverse effect.
In another aspect the invention provides a desulphurisation agent comprising at least one compound of manganese and at least one compound of iron in the relative molar proportions of from about 8:1 to 1 :8 (Mn:Fe). In a further aspect the invention provides such an agent incorporating a promoter and in yet a further aspect the invention provides such an agent incorporating a sorption material.
In order that the invention may be well understood it will now be described by way of illustration with reference to the following example.

30 ml. of each sample were placed in a tubular reactor subjected to a flow (3 litres/hour) of nitrogen containing 20% hydrogen sulphide at ambient temperature and pressure and the time noted for 10 ppm hydrogen sulphide to be detected at the outlet of the reactor. The following results were obtained.
