Abstract
HS-containing gases, particularly such gases at elevated pressure, are treated to remove HS by reaction in a liquid medium with SO, the SObeing present in stoichiometric excess with respect to the HS. The SOis produced by combustion of sulfur, preferably sulfur produced in the reaction between HS and SO, preferably with oxygen. The process produces a treated gas that is substantially free of both HS and SO. An acid-gas absorber/stripper system or other system typically found in such processes to raise or concentrate the HS level in the gas to be treated, is not needed in operations according to the invention.
