Yes / The adsorption of acid gas, including hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, by superhigh silica ZSM-5 was investigated. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms of high-purity hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide were measured experimentally using this new sorbent. In addition, methane and nitrogen adsorption isotherms on this MFI-type zeolite were also measured as representative of other natural gas components. To enhance the reliability of the results, the adsorption pressure has been selected up to 20 bar at three different temperatures. Superhigh silica ZSM-5 for the adsorption of hydrogen sulfide shows an impressive result of 3.04 mmol·g–1 at 12 bar and 283 K. This value was 2.69 mmol·g–1 for carbon dioxide at 21 bar and 283 K. The adsorption capacity of H2S on the ZSM-5 is the highest, and N2 is the lowest; the order of the adsorption capacities of components is H2S > CO2 > CH4 > N2. The adsorption heat of different adsorbates is calculated: 13.7 and 29.5 kJ·mol–1 for H2S and CO2, respectively. Physical adsorption has occurred on high-silica ZSM-5, especially for hydrogen sulfide, and this is a great advantage. By increasing the temperature, the adsorption capacity of components on the ZSM-5 decreases, but due to differences in the adsorption heat of the adsorbate, the ideal selectivity for hydrogen sulfide increases. There is a challenge in the choice of the best condition for H2S removal, as, by increasing the temperature, the adsorption capacity of hydrogen sulfide reduces, but the selectivity of the hydrogen sulfide increases as compared to other gases. This phenomenon is not true for the selectivity of other components.
