Research interests: Adsorptive separation techniques, Investigation of sorbents and catalysts to remove sulfur from reformate gases. Characterization techniques of the sorbents and/or catalysts
Field of Work: The research mainly focuses on removal of hydrogen sulfide by various bimetallic sorbents impregnated on supports like Silica or Alumina. Characterization of these sorbents will provide an opportunity to study the active sites on their surface and also provide information about its capability to remove other sulfur species. The adsorption separation characteristics such as Breakthrough and Saturation capacity are studied under various conditions of temperature, moisture content, concentration of sulfur in challenge gas and others. The performance of these sorbent is measured after regeneration during multiple cycles.
