Abstract
Disclosed is a process for the removal of sulfur from a fuel gas stream that additionally contains carbon dioxide and a light olefin as well as an organic sulfur compound. The process includes hydrotreating the fuel gas stream followed by a catalytic reduction of the resulting hydrotreated fuel gas to remove the carbonyl sulfide contained therein that is yielded in the hydrotreating step as a result of the equilibrium reaction of hydrogen disulfide with carbon dioxide to yield carbonyl sulfide and water.
