Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sulfur recovery, and in particular relates to a hydrogen sulfide selective oxidation catalyst and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Among the sulfur recovery processes, the direct oxidation process has attracted widespread attention due to its simple operation and high sulfur recovery rate. It uses a special catalyst to directly catalyze the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in the process gas to elemental sulfur. This process can handle both lean acid gas and conventional Claus tail gas. There are many direct oxidation processes, such as the Clinsulf~Do process of the German Linder Company, the Hi~Activity process of the Parsons Company, and the Catasulf process of the BASF Company. Among them, the most widely used is the Super Claus process, which is currently the most successful and widely used direct oxidation process. [0003] The Super Claus process is one of the direct oxid...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, there are few grades of hydrogen sulfide selective oxidation catalysts developed at home and abroad. Generally speaking, the yield of sulfur in the existing catalysts is not high, and there are the following problems: (1) The catalyst is sensitive to the oxygen content in the process gas. High catalyst selectivity becomes poor, and low oxygen content affects catalyst conversion rate; (2) catalyst has poor selectivity to sulfur, resulting in low sulfur yield, which affects the sulfur recovery rate of sulfur plant; (3) catalyst is sensitive to water , the catalytic activity is greatly affected by the water vapor content, and some catalysts are required to be used under low water content (volume content less than 5%) or anhydrous conditions, but after the secondary Claus reaction, the water vapor content in the gas is below 25 % or more, unable to meet the requirements of this type of catalyst; (4) The strength of the catalyst is poor, and the lateral pressure strength is generally lower than 100N / cm, which is not conducive to the long-term operation of the device

Since the catalyst uses titanium dioxide as a carrier, it is sensitive to water and can only be used to treat gases with anhydrous or low water content (less than 5%)
