Abstract
High sulphur Syrian delayed petroleum coke was thermally treated at
high temperatures in order to reduce its sulphur content. It was found that
the high temperature required for effective desulphurization can be
reduced by increasing the residence time at the maximum heating temperature,
avoiding thereby the adverse effects associated with thermal treatment at
high temperatures, particularly in the case of the high sulphur Syrian coke.
A maximum desulphurization of 90\% was possible at a temperature of 1700 K
and a residence time of 180 minutes
