Abstract

A mesoporous silica (MSU-1) was synthesized and then impregnated with different Cu or Ni contents by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The performance of the materials prepared for H2S removal at room temperature was evaluated. The materials were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen physical adsorption. The surface area and pore volume values decreased with increasing copper loading, while nickel oxide deposition did not significantly affect the textural properties. X-ray diffractograms showed the typical signals of CuO and NiO formation, poorly dispersed by the intensity of the signals, and with sizes between 1 and 2 μm as observed by SEM. The reduction profiles of the synthesized samples showed a similar behavior, with a reduction observed in several stages. Copper samples showed peaks at around 230, 265 and 350°C, while nickel solids showed reduction temperatures at 330, 360 and 515°C. The rupture curves of H2S showed that the removal capacity increased with the metal content. Copper-impregnated solids showed a H2S removal capacity between 7.3 and 22.5 mg/g, higher than that observed in nickel-synthesized solids, which was between 3.4 and 7.4 mg/g.
