Abstract

The equilibrium adsorption of H2S is substantially stronger than that of CH4 on carbons, including carbon molecular sieve (CMS). A carbon molecular sieve with a proper pore structure can provide a kinetic selectivity for H2S over CH4, thus further enhancing the overall selectivity (equilibrium plus kinetic) for H2S and providing the basis of natural gas desulfurization by adsorption. Kinetic selectivity requires a unique pore structure due to the small difference in the molecular dimensions of H2S and CH4.
