H2S Removal by Activated Carbon Impregnated

DASAR TEORI – Adsorpsi H2S

Activated Carbon impregnated with Fe2O3 may react with H2S through this reaction:

Fe2O3 (S) + 3H2S (s)  FeS (s) + FeS2 (s) + 3H2O (l) ∆H = - 160,83 kJ/mol

In addition, iron hydroxide may react through the reaction :

2Fe(OH)3 (S) + H2S (s)  2Fe(OH)2 (s) + FeS2 (s) + 3H2O (l)
Fe(OH)2 + 2H2S  FeS + 4H2O

Copper can react with H2S through following reaction:

C-Cu(OH)2 + H2S  C-CuS + 2H2O (2) ∆H = -100,7 kJ/mol

 DASAR TEORI – Dekomposisi FeCl3

Berdasarkan Kanungo S.B. Dan Mishra S.K. (1996), dekomposisi dari hidrat FeCl 3 sebagai berikut

• 35 – 60oC  mencair
• 120 - 180oC  HCl terlepas; 160oC  terbentuk kristalin
• 180 – 400oC  dehidrasi, mulai terbentuk senyawa oksida/hidroksida
(FeOCl, FeOOH, sedikit Fe2O3)
FeCl3.2H2O FeOCl.H2O + 2HCl
FeOCl.H2O FeOCl + H2O
FeOCl.H2O  FeOOH + HCl
FeOOH  ½ Fe2O3 + ½ H2O
• > 400oC hampir semua menjadi Fe2O3
• 140 – 200oC  terbentuk juga FeCl3 melalui persamaan berikut
3FeOCl + H2O  FeCl3 + 2FeOOH

 ASTM D 6646 – 03
Standard Test Method for Determination of the Accelerated
Hydrogen Sulfide Breakthrough Capacity of Granular and
Pelletized Activated Carbon
 PARAMETER
- Determined by passing a stream of humidified air contaioning 1%-v H2S through a
sample of granular or pelletized activated carbon of known volume under specific
condition until the concentration of H2S in the effluent gas reaches 50 ppmv
- The ratio of column inside diameter to mean particle diameter (MPD) should be greater
than 10 in order to avoid wall effect
- It is suggested that bed superficial velocity is 4.77 cm/sec and contact time is 4.8 sec.
