The organic sulfur hydrolysis catalyst market has good development prospects, and my country’s advanced product research and development process continues to accelerate.

Organic sulfur hydrolysis catalyst, also known as COS hydrolysis catalyst, refers to a chemical product used to hydrolyze organic sulfur. Organic sulfur is a by-product produced in the production process of gas refineries, oil fields, natural gas fields, etc., and carbonyl sulfide (COS) is the main form of organic sulfur. It can easily cause catalyst poisoning and deactivation, and cause a certain degree of damage to industrial production equipment. Corrosion, and its discharge into the atmosphere will also form SO2, causing serious environmental problems. Therefore, COS removal is the focus and difficulty of industrial gas production and purification. Common methods include absorption, catalytic hydrolysis, reduction, adsorption, photolysis, etc.

Among them, the catalytic hydrolysis method is currently the most important method for removing COS. It refers to a method that catalytically hydrolyzes COS into H2S under the action of a hydrolysis catalyst, and then removes H2S efficiently. This method has high conversion rate, few side reactions, It has the advantages of not consuming hydrogen source and mature technology. Organic sulfur hydrolysis catalyst is an important material for catalytic hydrolysis. Common products can be divided into two categories: COS hydrolysis catalysts using γ-Al2O3 as a carrier and COS hydrolysis catalysts using activated carbon as a carrier.

Organic sulfur hydrolysis catalysts are mainly used in industrial waste gas purification and tail gas treatment scenarios, and their downstream applications cover petroleum, chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, food and other fields. In recent years, against the background of the rapid development of the domestic oil and gas exploration industry, the increasing intensity of environmental protection supervision, and the increasingly important importance of tail gas treatment, the market demand for organic sulfur hydrolysis catalysts has continued to increase, and the industry has shown good development prospects.

According to the “2023-2028 Organic Sulfur Hydrolysis Catalyst Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center , my country began to research and develop organic sulfur hydrolysis catalysts in the late 1970s. After recent years of development, there are Henan Yuye Biotechnology, Liaoning Haitai Technology, Wuhan Kelin Fine Chemicals, Shandong Aiqinuo Environmental Protection Technology, Most companies such as Qilu Petrochemical are engaged in the production of organic sulfur hydrolysis catalysts. With the gradual release of production capacity of local enterprises, my country’s organic sulfur hydrolysis catalyst production has reached 38,000 tons in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 12.4%.

Industry analysts said that in addition, there are currently Sinopec Zhongyuan Oilfield Puguang Branch and Qilu Petrochemical Company in China. Enterprises and institutions such as the Research Institute, Hubei Provincial Institute of Chemistry, and the Fertilizer Institute of the Ministry of Chemical Industry have laid out research and development tracks for organic sulfur hydrolysis catalysts. In recent years, against the background of the accelerated research and development process of domestic enterprises, advanced achievements in organic sulfur hydrolysis catalysts have continued to emerge in my country. For example, the Puguang Branch of Sinopec Zhongyuan Oilfield and the Qilu Branch Research Institute have developed a domestically produced organic sulfur hydrolysis catalyst suitable for large natural gas fields. Sulfur hydrolysis catalyst and will be industrialized in 2021. At present, the domestic substitution process in my country’s organic sulfur hydrolysis catalyst market is continuing to accelerate, and the overall development trend of the industry is improving.
