Production of elemental sulfur and methane from H{sub 2}S and CO{sub 2} derived from a coal desulfurization process. Quarterly technical progress report, October 1, 1995--December 31, 1995

During the ninth quarter of the project, bench scale experiments were performed to investigate the adsorption ability of different kinds of materials within sulfur vapor environment. Four kinds of adsorbents have been tested. The experiment results indicated that activated carbon was the best of four adsorbents tested. The adsorption process may be applicable to promote conversion of H{sub 2}S in the H{sub 2}S and SO{sub 2} reaction system
