The operation which takes advantage of an electrochemical potential gradient rather than conventional techniques, removes poisonous H2S from the coal gas stream leaving only H2 to enrich the exiting flue gases. Sulfur is the by-product which is carried away by an inert sweep gas and condensed downstream. The technology is attractive due to aesthetics as well as economics when compared to other alternatives. Current experiments are focusing on production of selective membranes made of zirconia and improving cell housing seals using Aluminum foil gaskets.

Book excerpt: The cobalt cathode used in the EMS proved stable and efficient. Removal of H2S was deterred by the possibility of hydrogen cross-over from process gases creating alternate reactions unfavorable to the removal system. Application of back pressure from the anode side of the cell would be the simplest solution to H2 cross-over. Examination of water proof of the vapor in the anode exit gases would provide proof of the aforementioned reaction hypothesis. Cobalt aluminate formation should not prove problematic, since degradation of the Co Cathode did not occur as a result. Once equilibrium is reached electrolyte addition is not necessary, therefore not a major concern.

Book excerpt: A method of polishing coal synthesis gas by an electrochemical membrane operation is being perfected. The operation takes advantage of an electrochemical potential gradient rather than conventional techniques, separating the H2S from the coal gas stream, leaving only H2 to enrich the exiting fuel gases. Sulfur is the by-product that is carried away by a separate inert sweep gas and condensed downstream. The technology is attractive due to simplicity as well as economics when compared to alternatives. An analytical model describing the preferred reduction of H2S, the transport of S2−, and the competing transport of CO32− through the removal cell has continued. The main objective is the relation between cell polarization and current efficiency. This has been realized. Experiments this quarter focused on removing 100 ppM inlet H2S, utilizing laboratory fabricated cobalt cathodes.

Book excerpt: An electrochemical membrane separation system for removing H2S from coal gasification product steams is the subject of this investigation. The high operating temperature, flow-through design, and capability of selective H2S removal and direct production of elemental sulfur offered by this process provide several advantages over existing and developmental H2S removal technologies. Two experiments (Run {number_sign}17 & {number_sign}18) examining the removal capability of the EMS with cobalt cathode were performed this quarter. The focus dealt with H2S removal as well as impeding hydrogen cross-over from the process gas side (cathode) of the membrane to the sweep gas side (anode).

Book excerpt: An advanced process for the separation of hydrogen sulfide from coal gasification product streams through an electrochemical membrane is being developed. H2S is removed from the syn-gas stream, split into hydrogen, which enriches the syn-gas, and sulfur, which can be condensed from an inert gas sweep stream. The process allows removal of H2S without cooling the gas stream and with negligible pressure loss through the separator. The process is economically attractive by the lack of adsorbents and the lack of a Claus process for sulfur recovery. Research conducted during the present quarter is highlighted, with an emphasis on progress towards the goal of an economically viable H2S removal technology for use in coal gasification facilities providing polished fuel for co-generation coal fired electrical power facilities and Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell electrical power facilities. Polishing application of this technology to coal gasification synthesis gas has been demonstrated with H2S removals as high as 89.1% recorded. No successful runs with stainless steel housings have yet been achieved. However, since stoichiometric CO2 removal with stainless steel housings has been achieved, H2S removal is achievable.

Book excerpt: Experimentation with a rigidized, electrolyte filled tile, left much to be desired. The instability of the tiles at molten conditions (> 550°C), provided the necessary mechanism for H2 to penetrate the membrane. Once H2 cross-over occurs the entire objective of electrochemical separation becomes nullified. The Zircar membranes used last quarter provided excellent protection against H2, prompting a reversion back to them. If porosities are strictly adhered to and the water-gas shift is properly handled, the membranes should provide an adequate mechanism for selective H2S removal.

Book excerpt: A method of polishing coal synthesis by electrochemical operation is being perfected. An electrochemical potential gradient is used to remove H2S from the coal gas stream, leaving only H2 to enrich the exiting polished gases. Sulfur byproduct is swept away by an inert sweep gas and later condensed. Current experiments are based on improving selective removal from low initial H2S contents (10 ppm). High flow rate data is also being investigated along with sealing the cell housings. Latest option for consistent removal and seals is Zircar manufactured membranes.

Book excerpt: Coal may be used to generate electrical energy by any of several processes, most of which involve combustion or gasification. Combustion in a coal-fired boiler and power generation using a steam- cycle is the conventional conversion method; however, total energy conversion efficiencies for this type of process are only slightly over 30%. Integration of a gas-cycle in the process (combined cycle) may increase the total conversion efficiency to 40%. Conversion processes based on gasification offer efficiencies above 50%. H2S is the predominant gaseous contaminant in raw coal gas. Problems arise due to the corrosive nature of H2S on metal components contained in these cycles. Because of this, H2S concentrations must be reduced to low levels corresponding to certain power applications. An advanced process for the separation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from coal gasification product streams through an electrochemical membrane is being developed using funds from this grant. Past experiments using this concept dealt with identifying removal of 1-2% H2S from gases containing only H2S in N2, simulated natural gas, and simulated coal gas. Other goals include optimization of cell materials capable of improving cell performance. Once cell materials are defined, cell experiments determining maximum removal capabilities and current efficiencies will be conducted. Also, a model theoretically describing the preferred reduction of H2S, the transport of S2−, and the competing transport of CO2 will be investigated. The model should identify the maximum current efficiency for H2S removal, depending on variables such as flow rate, temperature, current application, and the total cell potential. 21 refs., 10 figs., 9 tabs.

The most recent experiments evaluated the polishing application (removal Of H2S below 10 ppm) using the Electrochemical Membrane Separator (EMS). H2S removal efficiencies over 90% were achieved at these stringent conditions of low H2S concentrations proving the technologies polishing capabilities.

Book excerpt: An advanced process for the separation of hydrogen sulfide H2S from coal gasification product streams through an electrochemical membrane is developed using funds from this grant. H2S is removed from the syngas stream, split into hydrogen, which enriches the exiting syngas, and sulfur, which is condensed from an inert sweep gas stream. The process allows removal of H2S without cooling the gas stream and with negligible pressure loss through the separator. The process is made economically attractive by the lack of need of a Claus process for sulfur recovery. To this extent the project presents a novel concept for improving utilization of coal for more efficient power generation. This quarter focused on replacing the MACOR cell housings with stainless steel, which is more industrially suitable. Three runs were attempted this quarter, with successful results achieved in Run 34. The purpose of these experiments was: (1) test the electrochemical membrane separator's ability to concentrate CO2, (2) test the electrochemical membrane separator's ability to remove H2S; and (3) test stainless steel as an alternative cell housing to MACOR as well as test nickel cathode performance at the reduced temperature.
