Carbon catalyst supports for oxidative decomposition of hydrogen sulfide

Carbon supports having various porous structures and compositions of the mineral matter were obtained. On the basis of the carbon supports, a number of catalyst samples were prepared via the decomposition of an iron complex adsorbed in support pores. The effect of the treatment mode during catalyst preparation on the formation of iron clusters in the porous volume of the support has been studied by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy. The catalysts deposited on carbon supports were tested in the decomposition of hydrogen sulfide. © 2007 Allerton Press, Inc.
