In-situ addition of 0.1–1, 10, 100 and 300 ppmv of sulfur over Co/ZnAl2O4·Al2O3.
CS2 may poison both Co/ZnAl2O4·Al2O3 and conventional Co/γ-Al2O3 catalysts.
0.1–1 ppmv of S does not have a significant negative effect on catalyst activity.
At 100 ppmv S, the deactivation of Co/ZnAl2O4·Al2O3 is reversible to some extent.
Rate of S sorption by Co/ZnAl2O4·Al2O3 is 3.1 times higher than that by Co/γ-Al2O3.
