Removal of sulfides from gas streams with low-cost catalyst

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5720115

This patent describes a continuous method for removing COS and H{sub 2}S from a gaseous mixture. The gaseous mixture including process or waste gas streams resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. The process is characterized by the fact that sulfur-containing pollutants comprising COS and H{sub 2}S contained in the gas streams resulting from the combustion of high-sulfur content fossil fuel can effectively and efficiently be removed therefrom without the requirement to substantially adjust or change the enthalpy of such gas streams.
