Abstract

The reduction of $SO_2$ by CO over supported cobalt catalysts was investigated within the temperature range of $350{\sim}550^{\circ}C$, initial $SO_2$ concentration of 1000~10000 ppm, $CO/SO_2$ molar ratio of 1.0~3.0 and space velocity of $5000{\sim}15000h^{-1}$. Several types of supports such as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$ were tested. The $SO_2$ conversion and selectivity to elemental sulfur were investigated using a differential fixed bed reactor at atmospheric pressure. The catalyst prepared by wet impregration of 5 wt % cobalt on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ showed $SO_2$ conversion higher than 90% and COS yield lower than 6% at temperature above $400^{\circ}C$. The optimum $CO/SO_2$ molar ratio was investigated as 2.0. At higher $CO/SO_2$ molar ratio, the $SO_2$ conversion became higher but the main product was COS. The effect of $SO_2$ concentration and space velocity over $SO_2$ conversion and COS yield was not appreciable in the experimental range. The activated cobalt phase was detected as $CoS_2$ and the $CoS_2$ phase unchanged even after reaction.

${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$$SiO_2$에 코발트를 함침시켜 촉매를 제조하고, 고정층 미분반응기에서 CO에 의한 $SO_2$환원반응 특성을 조사하였다. 이때 온도는 $350{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ 영역에서, $SO_2$농도를 1000~10000 ppm, $CO/SO_2$몰비를 1.0~3.0, 공간속도를 $5000{\sim}15000h^{-1}$의 영역에서 사용하였으며 대기압하에서 실행하였다. ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$$TiO_2$는 코발트 담체로 우수한 특성을 보였으며, 5 wt % 코발트를 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$에 함침시켜 얻은 촉매로 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 90% 이상의 높은 $SO_2$전환율과 6% 이하의 낮은 COS수율을 얻을 수 있었다. $CO/SO_2$의 최적몰비는 양론비인 2.0으로 나타났으며, 몰비가 3.0으로 증가하면 $SO_2$전환율은 증가하였으나 대부분의 반응생성물이 COS로 나타났다. 실험영역의 $SO_2$농도와 공간속도의 변화는 $SO_2$ 전환율과 반응선택성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 코발트는 활성화된 이후에 $CoS_2$ 상태로 존재하였으며 반응후에도 상변화는 관찰되지 않았다.
