H2S-selective catalytic oxidation at high temperatures is a cost-effective way to directly treat lean acid gas. Herein, cerium supported on a β-SiC catalyst was synthesized by a simple impregnation method, and the catalytic behavior for the H2S-selective oxidation reaction was evaluated at a relatively high-temperature range (300–550 °C). The 10%CeO2/β-SiC catalyst exhibited excellent H2S conversion (93%) and outstanding sulfur selectivity (94%) at 300 °C and could maintain it at 82 and 87%, respectively, even at temperatures up to 550 °C. Remarkably, the catalyst revealed prominent reaction stability, which could proceed consecutively at 550 °C for 30 h and could also run circularly from 300 to 550 °C three times without notable deactivation. This demonstrated that the β-SiC support allowed good dispersion of CeO2particles, which further improved the reducibility of the 10%CeO2/β-SiC catalyst. Furthermore, the abundant oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface facilitated O2activation by providing a large amount of surface adsorbed oxygen and by improving the lattice oxygen mobility. Particularly, the high thermal stability of the β-SiC support displayed a significant role in high-temperature reactions, and the strong Ce–O–Si interaction between the β-SiC support and the CeO2phase allowed the catalyst a good resistance to SO2poisoning. This work provides a prospective way for the treatment of lean acid gas.
