Abstract

A wet desulfurizing method for removal of H 2 S from gaseous stream at normal temperature, the method including: (a) contacting and reacting the gaseous stream containing H 2 S with a suspension containing desulfurizer in a desulfurization reactor; (b) leading the suspension containing waste agent produced by desulfurizing of desulfurizer after the reaction in step (a) to a regenerative reactor, and regenerating the waste agent using an oxygen-containing gas; (c) leading the suspension containing desulfurizer regenerated in step (b) to the desulfurization reactor in step (a), and contacting and reacting with the gaseous stream containing H 2 S. A simple method for removing hydrogen sulfide from gas at room temperature and normal pressure, which features high desulfurization rate and low cost.

Claims (10)

1. A wet desulfurization method for removing hydrogen sulfide from a gaseous stream, comprising the following steps:

(a) contacting and reacting the gaseous stream comprising hydrogen sulfide with a suspension comprising a desulfurizer comprising amorphous iron oxide hydroxide in a desulfurization reactor;

(b) removing suspended waste agent from the desulfurization reactor to a regeneration reactor, and regenerating desulfurizer from the suspended waste agent using an oxygen-containing gas, the pH value of the suspended waste agent in the regeneration reactor ranging from 6.5 to 7.5; and

(c) removing suspended desulfurizer comprising amorphous iron oxide hydroxide regenerated in step (b) to the desulfurization reactor in step (a), and contacting and reacting the gaseous stream comprising hydrogen sulfide with the suspended desulfurizer.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of blending the suspension comprising the desulfurizer with the gaseous stream comprising hydrogen sulfide in a static mixer before step (a).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the weight proportion of the desulfurizer to water in the suspension ranges from 1:100 to 1:5 in step (a).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the amorphous iron oxide hydroxide constitutes between 65% to 100% weight percent of the desulfurizer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein step (b) further comprises extracting elemental sulfur from the regeneration reactor.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the desulfurizer possesses a granularity ranging from 20 μm to 160 μm in step (a).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oxygen-containing gas is air.
