Abstract: CO2 is an important component in the acid gas and it is necessary to study the effect of CO2 presence on the oxy-fuel combustion of H2S with particular focus on the formation of carbonyl sulfide (COS). The oxy-fuel combustion of acid gas was conducted in a coaxial jet double channel burner. The distribution of flame temperature and products under stoichiometric condition along axial (R = 0.0) and radial at about 3.0 mm (R = 0.75) were analyzed, respectively. The Chemkin-Pro software was used to analyze the rate of production (ROP) for gas products and the reaction pathway of acid gas combustion. Both experimental and simulation results showed that acid gas combustion experienced the H2S chemical decomposition, H2S oxidation and accompanied by H2 oxidation. The CO2 presence reduced the peak flame temperature and triggered the formation of COS in the flame area. COS formation at R = 0.0 was mainly through the reaction of CO2 and CO with sulfur species, whereas at R = 0.75 it was through the reaction of CO with sulfur species. The ROP results indicated that H2 was mainly from H2O decomposition in the H2S oxidation stage, and COS was formed by the reaction of CO2 with H2S. ROP and other detailed analysis further revealed the role of H, OH and SH radicals in each stage of H2S conversion. This study revealed the COS formation mechanisms with CO2 presence in the oxy-fuel combustion of H2S and could offer important insights for pollutant control.
