ABSTRACT:
Fluid streams containing hydrogen sulfide from a steam tubine or from a sour gas stream are contacted with an aqueous solution of a polyvalent metal chelate and a bisulfite whereby the hydrogen sulfide is converted to free sulfur and then to soluble sulfur compounds. The metal chelate is reduced to a lower oxidation state metal chelate and reduced metal chelate is subsequently oxidized with air back to the higher oxidation state and reused. The bisulfite is formed by combustion of a portion of the fluid stream and subsequent absorption of the sulfur dioxide formed thereby in a two-stage countercurrent scrubber operating at conditions favorable for high bisulfite and low sulfite formation and selective away from carbon dioxide absorption.
