Abstract: A method and apparatus for desulfurizing a gas and regenerating a sorbent is disclosed. The sulfur-containing feed gas which can be an effluent gas from a coal gasification reactor, for example, is desulfurized with a particulated metallic oxide sorbent in a transport riser. The sulfided sorbent is than separated from a desulfurized effluent gas and regenerated by contact with an oxygen-containing gas in a transport riser. The regenerated sorbent is separated from an SO.sub.2 containing offgas and recycled to the desulfurization step. The degree of sorbent conversion in the desulfurization step is held at a low level and the sorbent regeneration rate is increased to avoid excessive temperature rise in the regeneration step. In such manner, sorbent cooling can be substantially eliminated. The regeneration riser preferably comprises a once-through lift riser to minimize the riser transport gas requirements to just oxidant gas or oxidant gas mixed with a reduced amount of diluent gas.

Abstract: Apparatus for securing a steel rod shelf to a vertical wall including a back clip anchor for lockingly engaging the rear support rod of the shelf and being mountable to the wall by means of an expandable anchor, a support brace for lockingly engaging and supporting the front support rods of the shelf, an end bracket for supporting an end of the shelf including a pair of spaced expandable anchors mountable to the vertical wall, and an expandable anchor for mounting the support brace to the wall. The back clip anchors and expandable anchors are fabricated from nylon or other flexible plastic material. The shelf apparatus is specifically designed to insure rapid and reliable installation particularly on walls constructed of dry wall or the like.
