Book Description
For new coal gasification systems, zinc-based sorbents are being developed to remove sulfur from the hot product gas prior to its use in combined-cycle gas turbines and high- temperature fuel cells. In general, the properties of these sorbents are considered to be very attractive, but there are still concerns about degradation of mechanical properties and sulfur capacity over many sulfidation- regeneration cycles. It is believed that containing zinc titanate in a matrix of excess titania could solve both problems, which is the objective of this project. During this quarter, plans were made for United Catalysts, Inc. to produce two batches of the sorbent using a commercial extrusion process. A subcontract was just issued to the Research Triangle Institute for sorbent characterization and for a 50- cycle performance test designed to simulate the General Electric Company's moving-bed reactor conditions. In a parallel effort, numerous contacts were made on the technology transfer task.

Book Description
For new coal gasification systems, zinc titanate sorbents are being developed to remove sulfur from the hot product gas prior to its use in combined cycle turbines and high temperature fuel cells. Although most of the properties of these sorbents are very attractive, there are still concerns about durability over many sulfidation-regeneration cycles and zinc losses due to vaporization. Doping the zinc titanate with other metal ions could alleviate both concerns, which are the objectives of this project. After a screening study was completed, it was decided that Cr offered more promise as a dopant than Ni, Cu, Mg, and Al. Therefore six new sorbent formulations containing Cr were prepared, and they are now being evaluated with a series of bulk density, X-ray diffraction, crush strength and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements. Results to date suggest that, while Zn vaporization losses can be reduced with Cr additions, a penalty in chemical reactivity occurs. A fixed bed test was also completed this quarter on a Cr-containing formulation. The H2S breakthrough time was about 11 hours, and utilization of Zn in the sorbent was 60.5%.

Book Description
The overall objective of this study is to determine the effect of implementation of the new and more stringent EPA Protocol Test Method involving sulfide containing waste, on the suitability of the oxidized spent sorbents from gasification of of high sulfur coals for disposal in landfills, and to determine the optimum operating conditions in a ''final'' hydrolysis stage for conversion of the residual calcium sulfide in these wastes to materials that are suitable for disposal in landfills. An additional objective is to study the effect of ash on the regeneration and ash-sorbent separation steps in the Spent Sorbent Regeneration Process (SSRP). To achieve these objectives, a large set of oxidized samples of sulfided calcium-based sorbents (produced in earlier ICCI-funded programs) as well as oxidized samples of gasifier discharge (containing ash and spent sorbent) are tested according to the new EPA test protocol. Samples of the oxidized spent sorbents that do not pass the EPA procedure are reacted with water and carbon dioxide to convert the residual calcium sulfide to calcium carbonate. During this quarter, samples of oxidized sulfided calcium-based sorbents, including untreated calcium sulfide-containing feed materials, were analyzed using both weak acid and more stringent strong acid tests. Preliminary analysis of the H2S leachability test results indicate that all samples (including those that were not oxidized) pass the EPA requirement of 500 mg H2S per kg of solid waste. However, under the strong acid test procedure, samples containing more than 2.5% calcium sulfide fail the EPA requirement.

Book Description
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 effort started last year on increasing the strength and durability of zinc titanate sorbents with little or no loss in chemical reactivity. The principle is to contain Zn2TiO4 in a structural matrix of excess TiO2. A fluidized bed test was completed this quarter on the first of two promising sorbent formulations. The chemical reactivity in the form of breakthrough curves became progressively better over ten sulfidation-regeneration cycles. While the chemical reactivity was very good, the attrition resistance was only fair, due presumably to the conversion of Zn2TiO4 to ZnTiO3 during cycling. The next formulation to be tested is expected to be better in attrition resistance.

Book Description
In the continuing search for good sorbent materials to remove sulfur for hot, coal-derived gases, zinc titanate sorbents have shown great promise. The objective of this project was to extend the work of prior investigators by developing improvements in the compressive strength and, therefore, the cycle life of these sorbents while maintaining good chemical reactivity. Fifteen formulations were prepared and evaluated. The best properties were obtained by blending relatively course (two micron) ZnO and TiO2 powders to obtain a composition of 50%Zn2TiO4-50%TiO2. When sintered at 1000°C, it had a compressive strength of 28 MPa or 147 N/mm, which is four times higher than values obtained by prior investigators. It also performed well in thermogravimetric analysis measurements of reactivity, both in screening tests and in simulated coal gas.

Book Description
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 effort started last year on sorbents with little or no loss in chemical reactivity. The principle is to contain Zn2TiO4 in a structural matrix of excess TiO2. Progress on several tasks was made during the third quarter. The new fixed bed apparatus at SIUC was made operational, and experiments in it have started. The feasibility of using turbine exhaust gas diluted with N2 for sorbent regeneration was demonstrated through experiments at both SIUC and RTI. The third of four ten-cycle tests was completed at RTI. It was a fixed bed test on one to two promising formulations developed last year. The results followed the pattern of the fluidized bed tests completed earlier in that the chemical reactivity was good, except for the first few cycles. Lastly the undergraduate student design project on hot gas desulfurization hardware was completed this quarter.
