What is hydrodesulfurization?
Step 1
Sulfur compounds are undesirable because they can contribute to air pollution and can also poison catalysts used in downstream processes. The HDS process involves reacting the sulfur compounds with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst, typically a metal Show more…

Hydrotreating
A major company you work for is interested in cleaning up a waste spill containing large amounts of a toxic compound called hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Their goal is to add a microorganism to the waste site that can convert the hydrogen sulfide to inorganic sulfur (S0). a. Is this an oxidation or reduction?
Why should sulfur be removed from raw materials during the preparation of hydrogen by the ICI method: a. Sulfur reacts with hydrogen and reduces the levels of hydrogen produced b. Because the catalyst used to catalyze the reaction is sensitive to the presence of sulfur and may hinder its work c. Because it raises the impurities of sulfur gases during the formation of hydrogen d. Sulfur has an unpleasant odor and must be removed to avoid the formation of foul-smelling compounds
