Abstract

The petroleum refining industry uses a hydrodesulfurization process to convert the sulfur content of petroleum fractions into hydrogen sulfide. Additionally, natural gas and coal gas also contain 0.3--3 vol% hydrogen sulfide. The selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur was studied over three vanadium-based mixed-oxide catalysts, including the binary oxides of vanadium-molybdenum, vanadium-bismuth, and vanadium-magnesium. The catalytic reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed reactor in the temperature range 200--300 C. Strong synergistic phenomena in catalytic activity and selectivity were observed for the binary oxides. Under identical reaction conditions, the performances of the binary oxide catalysts within certain composition ranges were superior to those of the corresponding single-oxide catalysts. These synergistic phenomena suggest that the new compounds Mo{sub 6}V{sub 9}O{sub 40}, BiVO{sub 4}/Bi{sub 4}V{sub 6}O{sub 21}, and MgV{sub 2}O formed in the binary oxides are much better than the corresponding single-oxide catalysts for the selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide. The maximum sulfur yield obtained with the vanadium-based binary mixed-oxide catalysts was 97%, which was much higher than that obtained with pure vanadium oxide (78%).

Catalytic oxidation of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur on vanadium antimonate

Journal Article Li, K T ; Shyu, N S - Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research

Conversion of H{sub 2}S to elemental sulfur is presently considered the most effective means to remove the pollutant from petroleum refinery gases and from natural gases. The catalytic oxidation of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur on three vanadium antimonate catalysts (with bulk V/Sb atomic ratio at 5/1, 1/1, and 1/5) was studied with a flow reactor in the temperature range of 180--280 C. Strong synergistic phenomena in catalytic activity and selectivity were observed for the vanadium antimonate catalysts. The catalyst with equal vanadium atoms and antimony atoms (abbreviated as VSB11 catalyst) was found to be the most effective, and the X-raymore »« less

Oxidation of SO{sub 2} over supported metal oxide catalysts

Journal Article Dunn, J P ; Stenger, Jr, H G ; Wachs, I E - Journal of Catalysis

A systematic catalytic investigation of the sulfur dioxide oxidation reactivity of several binary (M{sub x}O{sub y}/TiO{sub 2}) and ternary (V{sub 2}O{sub r}/M{sub x}O{sub y}/TiO{sub 2}) supported metal oxide catalysts was conducted. Raman spectroscopy characterization of the supported metal oxide catalysts revealed that the metal oxide components were essentially 100% dispersed as surface metal oxide species. Isolated fourfold coordinated metal oxide surface species are present for most oxides tested at low coverages, whereas at surface coverages approaching monolayer polymerized surface metal oxide species with sixfold coordination are present for some of the oxides. The sulfur dioxide oxidation turnover frequencies of themore »« less

Preparation characterization and catalytic properties of unsupported and molybdenum-promoted vanadium sulfides

Journal Article Lacroix, M ; Guillard, C ; Breysse, M ; ... - Journal of Catalysis; (United States)

Hydrotreating of light and crude petroleum feedstocks involves hydrogenation of unsaturated materials and sulfur, nitrogen, or oxygen heteroatom removals. These main reactions are catalyzed by Co or Ni-promoted molybdenum or tungsten sulfides supported on alumina. Such catalysts may also be required for treating heavier feedstocks containing organically combined metals. Among the different metals present in the feed, Ni and V are the most important ones, which are mainly associated with naphtenates and porphyrins complexes. Sulfide catalysts can break up these organic complexes but unlike the heteroatom removals, the Ni and V are deposited on the catalyst surface. The hydrodesulfurization (HDS),more »« less

Catalytic activity of vanadium oxides in the oxidation of benzene

Journal Article Bielanski, A ; Piwowarczyk, J ; Pozniczek, J - Journal of Catalysis; (USA)

The catalytic oxidation of benzene over V{sub 2}O{sub 5}, V{sub 6}O{sub 13}, V{sub 2}O{sub 4}, V{sub 7}O{sub 13}, V{sub 6}O{sub 11}, V{sub 5}O{sub 9}, V{sub 4}O{sub 7}, V{sub 3}O{sub 5}, and V{sub 2}O{sub 3} was investigated at 300-400{degree}C. Stoichiometric V{sub 2}O{sub 5} was catalytically inactive. However, after reduction with C{sub 6}H{sub 6} vapor it became active and selective for formation of maleic anhydride. The catalyst was then an intimate mixture of V{sub 2}O{sub 4}, V{sub 6}O{sub 13} with smaller amounts of V{sub 6}O{sub 13} and V{sub 4}O{sub 9}. All the oxides lower than V{sub 2}O{sub 5} were active without anymore »« less

Calorimetric study of vanadium pentoxide catalysts used in the reaction of ethane oxidative dehydrogenation

Journal Article Le Bars, J ; Vedrine, J C ; Auroux, A - Journal of Physical Chemistry

Vanadium pentoxide catalysts have been studied in the partial oxidation reaction of ethane in the 723-843 K temperature range. The relationship between the acid-base properties and the catalytic behavior was investigated. The number and character of acidic sites of V{sub 2}O{sub 5} catalysts were determined by studying the adsorption of a basic molecule using microcalorimetry. The reducibility level and the evolution of the surface state, as well as the heat evolved, were studied by using a pulse method with pure ethane only. The reaction of ethane oxidative dehydrogenation was studied by a continuous flow method and the activation energies formore »« less
