An attrition-resistant zinc titanate sorbent for sulfur. Technical report, December 1, 1992--February 28, 1993
In the continuing search for good sorbent materials to remove sulfur from hot, coal-derived gases, zinc titanate sorbents have shown great promise. The objective of this project is to extend the work of prior investigators to obtain improvements in the compressive strength and, therefore, the cycle life of these sorbents without a significant loss in chemical reactivity. During the second quarter, parametric data were obtained on the percent porosity, crush strength, and chemical reactivity for a sorbent composition of 75% Zn{sub 2}TiO{sub 4} - 25% TiO{sub 2}. This material was sintered at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1100{degree}C. Although more extensive reactivity tests are still needed, results to date indicate that the best combination of properties is obtained with a sintering temperature of 800 or 850{degree}C. Also planned for the next quarter are evaluations of other sorbent formulations.
