Abstract: LS-03 catalyst for hydrogen sulfide selective oxidation to sulfur is developed by Research Institute of SINOPEC Qilu Petrochemical Company. The catalyst carrier is prepared by extrusion molding method and impregnation process, with silica as the main carrier material. At 200 ℃, the hydrogen sulfide conversion rate and the selectivity of the catalyst reaches 98% and 95%, which are equivalent to the level of similar foreign catalysts. The industrial production of LS-03 catalyst is carried out with industrial raw materials. The catalyst preparation repeatability is good, the hydrogen sulfide conversion rate is above 98.4%, and selectivity is above 94.0%, which reaches the indexes of similar catalysts in small pilot scale test and abroad. The industrial application of LS-03 catalyst is carried out on a 20 TPY sulfur recovery unit of a company. After the unit is started, the operation of each part is operating normally, and the SO2 emission concentration of flue gas before alkaline washing is less than 550 mg/m3, which reached the design index of the unit. After one year and nine months operation, an industrial application calibration test is carried out. The results show that the unit operates normally, the conversion rate of catalyst in Super Claus unit is more than 97%, the sulfur recovery rate is more than 90%, and the SO2 emission concentration of flue gas is lower than 550 mg/m3, which meet the device design index.
