Title: Hydrogen sulfide adsorption on faujasite-type zeolites with systematically varied Si-Al ratios

Journal Article · · J. Colloid Interface Sci.; (United States)

At low coverages, hydrogen sulfide adsorbed dissociatively on the faujasite-type X and Y zeolites; the amount of dissociation was proportional to the number of unlocated sodium ions in the supercages; the dissociated hydrogen produced hydroxyl groups with IR bands at 3650 and 3580 cm/sup -1/, which exhibited, at least in part, Broensted acidity. The SH groups gave IR bands at 2560 cm/sup -1/. Dissociative hydrogen sulfide adsorption decreased with increasing silica-alumina ratio and was negligible at ratios above 2.5:1. Nondissociative physical adsorption increased with increasing pressure, adsorbate coverage, and silica-alumina ratio. Preliminary oxidation rate studies of adsorbed hydrogen sulfide showed that the process is, at least initially, controlled by intracrystalline diffusion on Linde NaY zeolite; the rate decreased much more with time on NaX than NaY zeolite.
