Abstract

H.sub.2 S:CuAlCl.sub.4 and 2 H.sub.2 S:CuAlCl.sub.4 are complex addition compounds which may be prepared by contacting CuAlCl.sub.4 with gaseous H.sub.2 S at partial pressures of 0.1 to 1.0 atma and temperatures of 20.degree.-60.degree. C. These new compounds are useful in processes to separate hydrogen sulfide from gaseous mixtures and to prepare pure hydrogen sulfide. Complexation can be accomplished by using CuAlCl.sub.4 in the solid state, in solution or in a slurry. H.sub.2 S is recovered by subjecting the complex addition compounds to some combination of temperature and hydrogen sulfide partial pressure as to break up the complexes and to evolve the hydrogen sulfide content of the complex as a gas stream.
