SULFUR-ABSORBENT BED AND FUEL PROCESSING ASSEMBLY INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

A fuel processing system (10) that includes an improved sulfur-removal assembly (40). The fuel processing system (10) includes at least one fuel processor (20) adapted to produce hydrogen gas (22) from water and a carbon-containing feedstock (24), such as at least one hydrocarbon or alcohol. The sulfur-removal assembly (40) includes a sulfur-absorbent bed that contains a sulfur-absorbent material, such as a low-temperature shift catalyst, that is adapted to remove, or reduce the concentration of, sulfur-compounds from the carbon-containing feedstock (24).
