Abstract
A process for purifying a light hydrocarbon stream containing HS is disclosed in which the selective catalytic partial oxidation of the HS component is carried out while the hydrocarbon components slip through substantially unconverted. A catalyst that favors the partial oxidation of HS over conversion of the hydrocarbon component of a gaseous HS-light hydrocarbon mixture is employed. Apparatus for selectively cleaning up light hydrocarbon streams containing low concentrations (e.g., less than 25 vol. %), and apparatus for selectively cleaning up light hydrocarbon streams having higher concentrations (e.g., greater than 25 vol. %) of HS are also disclosed.
