Development and testing of an adsorption-reaction reverse-flow reactor for the combustion of methane-air lean mixtures in the presence of hydrogen sulphide

A novel concept is obtained by adding two layers of a carefully selected adsorbent to both sides of the catalyst bed of “conventional” reverse flow reactor. This reactor system with integrated separation accomplishes, in effect, a by-passing of the reaction zone of hydrogen sulphide in the feed, e.g. catalyst poison
