The sulfur containing emissions in coal gasification systems to produce energy are devastating and hostile to the requirements of clean, environmental friendly, efficient, and economical energy. Therefore, hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) emissions in coal gasification plants must be monitored, controlled and effectively removed before the syngas is used for energy production. The present research focuses on the development and utilization of tungsten oxide (WO₃) thin films and nanostructures for H₂S application in the coal gasification systems. As a part of that overall goal, the present work was performed with a specific objective of understanding the …
