Abstract
To high efficiently remove H2S from low partial pressure coke oven gas (COG), a novel activator (tetramethylammonium arginine, [N1111][Arg]) was used to blend with N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) for the absorption of H2S. High concentrated [N1111][Arg]-MDEA aqueous solution was used as absorbent. Thermodynamic properties including absorption amount and H2S loading values were measured, then the kinetic apparent absorption rate was calculated based on the change of absorption amount with time. The removal efficiency of H2S in simulated COG was verified in tray towers. Compared with monoethanolamine (MEA)-MDEA and tetramethylammonium glycinate ([N1111][Gly])-MDEA aqueous solutions, [N1111][Arg]-MDEA aqueous solution takes advantages of higher absorption capacity, absorption rate and removal efficiency. Our results showed that the proposed absorbent has good industrial application prospect in coke oven gas desulfurization, because it achieved 100% removal of H2S in the tray tower containing only 4 sieve plates under high concentrated condition (water content < 45%), which may significantly decrease the energy consumption.
