Alumina Catalyst Made in Iran for Oil, Gas Industry
‘Ardakan Industrial Ceramics (A.I.C)’ company has manufactured the product which is an iron-promoted active alumina catalyst used to remove H2S compound from fossil fuels.
It is a deoxygenation catalyst with a high specific surface area, which can drastically diminish the oxygen content in the Claus process.
Doping a metal element into the alumina catalyst has resulted in preventing the inactivation of the catalyst through decreasing the oxygen content.
The product can be used for production of natural gas and crude oil.
Oil, gas and petrochemical industries, steel and mining industries, tile and ceramic industries, compressed air industries and refractory industries are the main customers that consume the product.
Active Alumina Catalyst Modified by Iron is used to prevent toxicity of active alumina catalyst. In the Claus process, some extra oxygen is generated which can inactivate the alumina catalyst. In fact, the reaction of O2 with SO2 on the alumina surface causes Sulphation of the alumina surface, which in turn prevents the reactions required for the conversion of H2S and CS2 in the Claus process. This issue is avoided by passing the gas through a deoxygenated catalytic substrate before the Claus process.
