Abstract
A process and apparatus for removing total reduced sulfur compounds (TRS), especially H.sub.2 S and mercaptans from industrial gases is disclosed wherein an aqueous suspension of an active manganese dioxide is contacted with the industrial gas by atomizing the aqueous suspension in a spray dryer and contacting the atomized droplets with the industrial gas at a temperature sufficient to substantially completely evaporate the water in the atomized droplets. In preferred practice, the dried powder produced by the spray dry process is recovered as a particle layer in a bag filter unit through which the industrial gas is caused to flow.
