Abstract
This invention relates to a discoloration indicator for checking the life span of a desulfurization adsorbent, and a desulfurization reactor and a desulfurization system including the same, and specifically, to a discoloration indicator for checking the life span of a desulfurization adsorbent able to effectively adsorb and remove organic sulfur compounds from fossil fuels, including natural gas or LPG containing the organic sulfur compound, and to a desulfurization reactor and a desulfurization system including the same. This invention makes it possible to remove the organic sulfur compound using the desulfurization adsorbent and to check the replacement time of the adsorbent with the naked eye or using an electrical signal, and thus may be applied to the treatment of natural gas or LPG requiring desulfurization, and also to hydrogen generators for home fuel cell generation systems or distributed fuel cell generation systems requiring that devices be simple, or requiring unmanned operation.
