Abstract
The invention provides methods for purifying hydrogen sulfide gas having impurities therein. In one exemplary method, the hydrogen sulfide gas is purified by passing the gas through a filter media, with at least some of the impurities being trapped within the filter media. A catalyst may also be provided to break down some of the impurities to hydrogen sulfide and sulfur, so that the sulfur may be trapped and collected within the filter media.
