Fremgangsmåte ved fjerning av en gassformig bestanddel fra en gasström, samt apparat for utförelse av fremgangsmåten

摘要

Hydrogen sulfide or other gaseous component is removed from a gas stream containing the same by distribution of the gas stream in the form of fine bubbles by a rotary impeller and stationary shroud arrangement at a submerged location in an aqueous iron or other transition metal chelate solution, or other suitable catalyst, contained in an enclosed reaction vessel. Sulfur particles, or other insoluble phase product, of narrow particle size range formed in the reaction are floated off from the iron chelate solution. An oxygen-containing gas stream also is distributed in the form of fine bubbles by a separate rotary impeller and stationary shroud arrangement at a separate submerged location in the iron chelate solution. The second submerged location is separated from the first by a bafle extending downwardly in the reaction vessel from a top closure towards a bottom closure.
