Abstract
The effectiveness of calcium oxide in the removal of carbonyl sulfide from coal gas is estimated by thermochemical computations. It is assumed that the gas phase composition is determined by the equilibria of the reactions of water vapour with calcium sulfide and carbonyl sulfide and by the water-gas-shift reaction. The proposed relationships can be employed in engineering considerations and calculations.
