What is the Role of Hydrogenation in Treating Refractory Sulfur Compounds?
Hydrogenation plays a crucial role in treating refractory sulfur compounds, especially in the hydrodesulfurization process. Hydrogenation involves the addition of hydrogen to the sulfur compounds, which helps break down the C-S bonds and convert the sulfur into hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which can then be removed. This process often requires high temperatures and pressures to be effective.
