“…Many studies about benzothiophene desulfurization have been conducted. Liu et al showed that the decomposition temperature of benzothiophene is lower during pyrolysis under an oxidative atmosphere than under inert and hydrogen atmospheres. Guo et al indicated that SO 2 , not H 2 S, is generated when acetone exists in the pyrolysis process.…”

Thiophene sulfur is the most stable organic sulfur species in petroleum coke, among which benzothiophene accounts for a significant portion. Removal of benzothiophene will help to gain ultralow desulfurization. In this work, a density function theory (DFT) method was adopted to investigate benzothiophene pyrolysis mechanism. It was found that the most possible pyrolysis reaction of benzothiophene is triggered by α-H migration to β-position. The dominating products are S radical and ethenethione, which could explain benzothiophene pyrolysis experiments well. Converting thiophene fused on aromatic to a thiol group could help to promote desulfurization. As a contrast, the thiophene pyrolysis reaction was also calculated at the same level. The initial pyrolysis temperature of benzothiophene and thiophene may be close, but the pyrolysis rate of thiophene is higher than that of benzothiophene. The implication of the benzothiophene pyrolysis mechanism may be beneficial for the development of new desulfurization technology.

The combined effect of desulfurization and ash removal in the process of coal desulfurization by microwave with peroxyacetic acid was determined by evaluating variations in minerals and sulfur forms using X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Dielectric properties of minerals or organic sulfur functional groups in coal were studied utilizing a vector network analyzer in the 100 MHz−6.5 GHz frequency range. Results showed that the trend of ash reduction was similar to that of desulfurization with the treatment time. The main minerals removed were kaolin, montmorillonite, and pyrite under microwave with peroxyacetic acid. The influences of minerals on the dielectric properties of pure coal were higher than those of organic sulfur containing groups. Peak values of the complex permittivity imaginary part (ε″) and magnetic loss tangent (tan δ) for pyrite or montmorillonite were significantly higher than those of the other model materials. In addition, it is found that the dielectric property curves of the mixed samples contained the characteristic peaks of the corresponding minerals or organic sulfur compounds. Thus, the sulfur-containing substances of coal could be selectively removed with heating selectivity under the microwave of a particular frequency. These findings confirmed that the cause of the combined effect was the difference of dielectric properties between minerals and organic sulfur-containing groups.

“…All the sulphur groups in coal could be converted to hydrogen sulphide by reducing solvents [10]. Each reduction reaction has a given activation energy and frequency factor which are different for different sulphur groups [11,12]. Majchrowicz [13,14] and Garcia [15] in their research also used a similar TPR procedure to characterise organic sulphur in Belgian and US coals.…”

Development of a Temperature Programmed Identification Technique to Characterize the Organic Sulphur Functional Groups in Coal

Abstract:The Temperature Programmed Reduction (TPR) technique is employed for the characterisation of various organic sulphur functional groups in coal. The TPR technique is modified into the Temperature Programmed Identification technique to investigate whether this method can detect various functional groups corresponding to their reduction temperatures. Ollerton, Harworth, Silverdale, Prince of Wales coal and Mequinenza lignite were chosen for this study. High pressure oxydesulphurisation of the coal samples was also done. The characterization of various organic sulphur functional groups present in untreated and treated coal by the TPR method and later by the TPI method confirmed that these methods can identify the organic sulphur groups in coal and that the results based on total sulphur are comparable with those provided by standard analytical techniques. The analysis of the untreated and treated coal samples showed that the structural changes in the organic sulphur matrix due to a reaction can be determined.
