The present study deals with the processing of coke oven gas mainly composed of H2, CH4, N2 and CO to provide a feedstock for the synthesis of base chemicals. In this respect, the particular focus of this work is the simultaneous reduction of critical trace components like COS, CS2 and O2 by catalytic reaction with H2. The investigations were performed in synthetic coke oven exhaust using a Pd/Al2O3 catalyst. The results of the hydrogenation tests showed complete conversion of COS, CS2 and O2 at 200 °C and above with selective formation of H2S. However, below 200 °C the conversion of O2 was markedly reduced and CH3SH appeared as a by-product. Mechanistic studies were performed by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy coupled with mass spectrometry. These investigations demonstrated dissociative adsorption of COS on the catalyst at 150 °C resulting in the formation of bridged CO adsorbates and probably elemental sulfur. It is assumed that these species predominate the active Pd surface under reaction conditions. Consequently, the adsorption of O2 and the reaction to H2O is suppressed thus substantiating the decrease in performance at low temperatures. However, increasing the temperature to 200 °C and above leads to desorption of CO and sulfur compounds restoring the efficiency of the catalyst.
