Abstract

In this work, a new process for achieving the recovery of elemental sulfur by utilizing a fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) riser reactor for SOx treatment (FCC-DeSOx) is proposed. The process leverages the high temperatures and hydrocarbon concentrations in the FCC riser reactor to convert SOx into H2S. Subsequently, H2S, along with the cracked gas, is processed downstream to produce sulfur. Thermodynamic analysis of the key reduction reactions in the FCC-DeSOx process revealed that complete conversion of SOx to H2S is feasible in the dry gas (hydrogen-rich) prelift zone, as well as the upper and lower zones of the riser, upon achieving thermodynamic equilibrium. Experimental studies were conducted to replicate the conditions of these reaction zones using a low concentration of hydrogen gas as the reducing agent. Through process optimization, investigation of the minimum reaction time, and kinetic studies, the potential of this method for the complete reduction of SOx was further confirmed.
