Low temperature oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in the presence of oil shale

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6990209
The hydrogen sulfide concentration of a gas of relatively higher hydrogen sulfide concentration is reduced by combining at a temperature less than about 650/sup 0/F hydrogen sulfide in the gas with oxygen in the presence of a fragmented permeable mass of particles containing oil shale to yield a gas with relatively lower hydrogen sulfide concentration for withdrawing from the fragmented permeable mass.
