PROCESS FOR THE REMOVAL OF H.SUB.2S FROM GEOTHERMAL STEAM AND THE CONVERSION TO SULFUR

摘要

Process for removing H2S from the exhaust steam in a geothermal power plant wherein the H2S containing steam is contacted with an aqueous solution containing a ferric chelate and a cationic polymeric catalyst such as poly(dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride). The conversion of H2S to sulfur is accelerated by the use of a small amount of the catalyst. 33,229-F
