ABSTRACT:
Processes are disclosed for purifying hydrocarbon feedstreams, e.g, natural gas, to remove carbonyl sulfide and other acid gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. The processes employ a conversion step to convert carbonyl sulfide to hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide followed by an absorption step to remove the carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from the feedstream. Carbonyl sulfide is converted to carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the presence of an aqueous alkaline solution which preferably has the same composition as the absorption solution used in the absorption step.
