A new way to implement the simultaneous reutilization of solid waste, the desulfurization of coke oven gas (COG), and even the desulfurization of coke by the cocoking of coking coal (CC) and waste plastic (WP) blended with a sorbent is proposed; the evolution of H 2 S and the removal effi ciency of H 2 S from COG during the co-coking process were investigated in a lab-scale cylindrical reactor. The experimental results indicated that for the coking of CC blended with ZnO, Fe 2 O 3 , or blast furnace dust (BFD) as a sorbent, the instantaneous concentration of H 2 S in COG was lower than 500 mg/m 3 (which meets the technical specifi cation requirement of the Chinese Cleaner Production Standard-Coking Industry, HJ/T 126-2003) when the molar ratio between the key component of the sorbent and the volatile S in CC or the CC/WP blend, n Zn+Fe /n S , was about 1.2 for ZnO and Fe 2 O 3 , but not for BFD under the same conditions, suggesting that ZnO and Fe 2 O 3 are promising sorbents, but that BFD must be treated chemical or thermally before being used as a sorbent because of the size and complicated nature of the infl uence of its phase/chemical composition on its desulfurization ability. However, for the co-coking of CC and WP blended with ZnO as a sorbent, n Zn+Fe /n S must increase to 1.4 and 1.7 for 100/2 and 100/5 blends of CC/WP, respectively, to ensure a satisfactory efficiency for H 2 S removal from COG.
