Ni-Based Sulfur Guards

Active Form:

Metallic Ni (Ni) not NiO. Ni must be prereduced to enable sulfur adsorption. NiO alone lacks reactivity
with complex sulfur species.

Mechanism:

H₂S and Mercaptans: Direct chemisorption on Ni surfaces.

Thiophenes and Refractory Sulfur:

- Thiophene adsorbs parallel to the Ni surface, then reorients perpendicularly.

- Ni catalyzes C-S bond cleavage, forming Ni₃S₂ or surface sulfides.

- Simplified reaction:

C4H4S + 2H2 -> H2S + C4H8 (followed by Ni + H2S -> NiS)

Sulfur Capacity:

Lower than ZnO (1–2 wt% for thiophenes; 8–12 wt% for H₂S/mercaptans).

- Operating Conditions:

- Temperature: 140–200°C (vapor phase); up to 200°C for liquid phase.

- Pressure: 20–50 bar (hydro…
