Abstract :
Hydrogen sulfide is a by-product of processes related to fossil fuels (such as natural gas and crude oil). Selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide process (superclaus) following the claus process used to convert residual hydrogen sulfide to sulfur and plays a major role in controlling and reducing pollutant gases. The catalysts used in this process play a very important role in the production efficiency of elemental sulfur and various materials can be used as catalysts to decrease hydrogen sulfide. These catalysts have specific surface area, porosity, mechanical resistance, particle size distribution, acidity, and other special properties that distinguish them for converting hydrogen sulfide to sulfur. In this study, different types of catalysts that used in the superclaus process are investigated. In this regard, support based catalysts including metal oxides, carbon compounds, zeolites and clays supports as well as supportless catalysts including metal oxides, iron, and vanadium in the selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur are investigated.
