Investigation of the reaction pathway for synthesizing methyl mercaptan (CH₃SH) from H₂S-containing syngas over K-Mo-type materials.

ABSTRACT: The reaction pathway for synthesizing methyl mercaptan (CH₃SH) using H₂S-containing syngas (CO/H₂S/H₂) as the reactant gas over SBA-15 supported K-Mo-based catalysts prepared by different impregnation sequences was investigated. The issue of the route to produce CH₃SH from CO/H₂S/H₂ has been debated for a long time. In light of designed kinetic experiments together with thermodynamics analyses, the corresponding reaction pathways in synthesizing CH₃SH over K-Mo/SBA-15 were proposed. In the reaction system of CO/H₂S/H₂, COS was demonstrated to be generated firstly via the reaction between CO and H₂S, and then CH₃SH was formed via two reaction path
