A novel H2S sorbent based on SnO2and Y2O3is developed by a co-precipitation method for steam regenerative removal of H2S from hot syngas at moderate temperatures (400–500 °C). SnO2-Y2O3sorbent is stable in a reducing atmosphere (i.e. 500 °C, 50% H2) and achieves a 99.9% H2S removal during successive desulfurization and regeneration cycles. The addition of yttrium to SnO2decreases the reduction property of SnO2and no metallic Sn exists in the reducing atmosphere due to the formation of a pyrochlore-type compound, Y2Sn2O7. The SnO2-Y2O3sorbent has a desulfurization performance deterioration with the increasing calcination temperature. The newly developed SnO2-Y2O3sorbent can be regenerated by steam at 500 °C. In the eight successive desulfurization and regeneration cycles, SnO2-Y2O3sorbent has a cyclic breakthrough sulfur capacity of 9 mg/g without significant sulfur capacity loss.
