Abstract:

Amine Fe-based ionic liquid 1.6Et3NHCl·FeCl3 was synthesized with ideal H2S absorption capacity and good thermostability. H2S removal efficiency was tested under the condition with H2S concentration of 832 mg/m3, temperature ranging from 40 ℃ to 180 ℃, and gas flow of 100, 300, 400 or 500 mL/min. The results showed that when the gas flow was less than 400 mL/min, H2S removal efficiency could reach 100%; H2S removal efficiency increased with the increasing in temperature and tended to approach an asymptotic value. Under the optimal conditions, the sulfur capacity of 1.6Et3NHCl·FeCl3 was 6.36 g/L, higher than that of [Bmim]FeCl4. Comparing the FTIR spectra before and after H2S absorption, redox reaction between 1.6Et3NHCl·FeCl3 and H2S was confirmed. The interaction between H2S and 1.6Et3NHCl·FeCl3/[Bmim]FeCl4/H2O has been studied at the molecular level using density functional theory, and the influence of the substrate on H2S absorption was illustrated to be responsible for the enhancement of H2S absorption by aminal group. The product after H2S absorption was orthorhombic crystal sulfur(α), which is the same as the product from traditional aqueous phase oxidation desulfurization. 1.6Et3NHCl·FeCl3 ionic liquid can be reused efficiently after quick regeneration by air flow.
