This invention relates to additives to mixed-metal oxides that act simultaneously as sorbents and catalysts in cleanup systems for hot coal gases. Such additives of this type, generally, act as a sorbent to remove sulfur from the coal gases while substantially simultaneously, catalytically decomposing appreciable amounts of ammonia from the coal gases.

A method for reducing an amount of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia in a hot coal using a molybdenum-based sorbent-catalyst, wherein said method is comprised of the steps of: combining at least two metal oxides in a combination of up to three parts zinc oxide to one part titanium oxide to form a mixed-metal oxide mixture; adding a binder to said mixed metal oxide mixture; adding up to 5% by weight of a molybdenum-based material to said mixed-metal oxide mixture and said binder to create a base mixture; calcinating said base mixture to a temperature of up to 1400°-1800°for at least one hour; activating said base mixture with a gas containing approximately 1% hydrogen sulfide by volume at a temperature of approximately 1000°F. for at least one hour and contacting said activated base mixture with hot coal gases in order to substantially reduce the amount of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia in said hot coal gases.
