Abstract

One of the key challenges in reforming military fuels for use with fuel cells is their high sulfur content, which can poison the fuel cell anodes. Sulfur-tolerant fuel reformers can convert this sulfur into H₂S and then use a desulfurizing bed to remove it prior to the fuel cell. In order to optimize and verify this desulfurization process, a gas-phase sulfur analyzer is required to measure H₂S at low concentrations (<1 ppm_v) in the presence of other reforming gases (e.g., 25–30% H₂, 10–15% H₂O, 15% CO, 5% CO₂, 35–40% N₂, and trace amounts of light hydrocarbons). In this work, we utilize near-infrared cavity-enhanced optical absorption spectroscopy (off-axis ICOS) to quantify H₂S in a JP-8 fuel reformer product stream. The sensor provides rapid (2 s), highly precise (±0.1 ppm_v) measurements of H₂S in reformate gases over a wide dynamic range (0–1000 ppm_v) with a low detection limit (3σ = ±0.09 ppm_v?in 1 s) and minimal cross-interferences from other present species. It simultaneously quantifies CO₂?(±0.2%), CH₄?(±150 ppm_v), C₂H₄?(±30 ppm_v), and H₂O (±300 ppm_v) in the reformed gas for a better characterization of the fuel reforming process. Other potential applications of this technology include measurement of coal syngas and H₂S in natural gas. By including additional near-infrared, distributive feedback diode lasers, the instrument can also be extended to other reformate species, including CO and H₂.
