Alberta oil-sands petroleum coke is an abundant byproduct of the upgrading of bitumen. The current study aims to improve the current understanding of sulfur added to the surface of petroleum coke through reaction with sulfur dioxide (SO2) and how this is affected by a large excess of oxygen (O2). Particular focus is given to the distribution and speciation of sulfur within the coke particles, as well as its thermal stability. Petroleum coke was activated in SO2 with and without O2 in a packed bed reactor at 600−800 °C. The activated cokes were characterized with electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Cross-sectional analysis with EPMA of activated coke particles revealed that sulfur-rich coke particles (i.e., SIAC) could be produced with and without O2. Under low SO2 (3%), high O2 (18%) conditions, however, O2 competitively reacted with coke at 600 °C, and SO2 only reacted to form a sulfur-...
