Abstract

The reaction rate for the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide in liquid petroleum hydrocarbons over alumina, such as propylene, is greatly increased by maintaining water in the hydrocarbons in an amount of one mole of water per mole of carbonyl sulfide to an upper limit of about ten moles of water per mole of carbonyl sulfide or about 30% of saturation of the hydrocarbons, whichever upper limit provides the lesser amount of water.

Adsorption of carbonyl sulfide from liquid hydrocarbons with activated alumina and other adsorbents

Conference Liu, P

Contamination of Liquid hydrocarbon streams with carbonyl sulfide (COS) is not desirable; particularly in propylene. COS may poison the down stream polymerization catalyst. Thus, it is usually required to reduce the COS concentration to an extremely low level, e.g. 1 ppm or less, for polymer grade propylene. Many technologies generally available for sulfur removal, such as scrubbing and distillation are not applicable to the removal of COS from propylene. The former is not suitable for a low level removal. With the boiling point of COS (-50{sup 0}C) very close to that of propylene (-48{sup 0}C) it is difficult to achievemore »« less
Process for removal of carbonyl sulfide in liquified hydrocarbon gases with absorption of acid gases

Patent Beavon, D; Mackles, M

Liquified hydrocarbon gases containing at least carbonyl sulfide as an impurity are purified by intimately mixing the liquified hydrocarbon gas with an aqueous absorbent for hydrogen sulfide in a hydrolysis zone maintained at a temperature and a pressure sufficient to maintain the liquified hydrocarbon gas in the liquid state and hydrolyze the carbonyl sulfide to hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. The liquified hydrocarbon gas containing at least a portion of the formed carbonyl sulfide and carbon dioxide is separated from the liquid absorbent and passed to an absorption zone where it is contacted with a liquid hydrogen sulfide absorbent wheremore »« less
Hydrolysis of COS and CS{sub 2} over alumina catalysts at lower temperature

Conference Ju, Shangguan; Chunhu, Li; Hanxian, Guo

Carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS{sub 2}) widely exist in chemical processing gases from natural gas, coal, Claus tail gas, and petroleum. Those sulfur compound are a major factor of deactivation of synthesis catalysts. Since it is difficult to remove COS and CS{sub 2} completely by the conventional desulfurization, a hydrolysis process has been developed in recent years. The activity of COS and CS{sub 2} hydrolysis was measured in a fixed bed reactor and the surface basicity was studied by CO{sub 2}-TPD. The results showed that the apparent reaction activation energies of COS over three catalysts are 57.80, 52.50more »« less
Kinetics of some reactions of atmospheric interest: hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide, and reaction rates of thermal chlorine atoms with carbonyl sulfide, methanol, hydrogen sulfide, and methyl chloride

Thesis/Dissertation Lu, E

The hydrolysis appeared pseudo first order in OCS and showed a rate constant of (1.04 /times/ 10/sup 11/) exp(/minus/10800/T) sec /sup /minus/1/. The hydrolysis of OCS can be increased in rate by the presence of OH/sup /minus// concentration and showed a bimolecular rate constant of (8.12 /times/ 10/sup 9/) exp(/minus/6040/T) 1 mole/sup /minus/1/ sec /sup /minus/1/. The rate corresponds to a lifetime for dissolved OCS of 1.7 days. A two-layer diffusion model with accurate Henry's Law constant and hydrolysis rate constant can obtain air-sea exchange flux.

Process for removing carbonyl-sulfide from liquid hydrocarbon feedstocks

Patent Debras, G; DeClippeleir, G; Cahen, R

A process is described for removing carbonyl sulfide from a liquid olefinic hydrocarbon feedstock comprising: (a) passing the hydrocarbon feedstock over an absorbent material comprising zinc oxide and a promoter selected from the group consisting of alumina, silico-aluminas and any combination thereof wherein the promoter is present in amounts from about 3 to about 15 percent by weight of the absorbent material; and (b) recovering a liquid olefinic hydrocarbon stream having a substantially reduced carbonyl sulfide content.
