Abstract

Sulfur compounds adversely affect the technological process of oil and gas refining, as well as the release of sulfur-containing compounds into the atmosphere, polluting the environment. Oil and gas processing is carried out using microporous adsorbents with high sorption capacity in the purification of gases containing sulfur. This is one of the most efficient methods in oil refining and gas processing. In research work, the adsorption of gases containing sulfur in their composition is carried out in various ways. When determining the formation complex, the main centers of Li-ionic molecules, it was possible to obtain a more accurate idea of the adsorption mechanism at the stages of absorption of hydrogen sulfide molecules into Li-zeolites using a highly sensitive adsorption calorimeter. In our study, in the process of adsorption of hydrogen sulfide on the LiX zeolite, the results of differential adsorption heat, isotherm, entropy, and thermal equilibrium time (thermokinetics) based on obtained in a high vacuum adsorption device are accurately revealed. Based on exact formulas, it was proved how many hydrogen sulfide molecules are adsorbed in the zeolite that died under vacuum conditions.
