A method for removing hydrogen sulfide from a hydrogen sulfide-contaminated gas stream.

摘要

Hydrogen sulfide is removed from a gas stream by injecting an alkaline solution into the gas stream. The velocity of the gas stream is such that it has a Reynolds number of at least 50,000 and the Weber number for the injected alkaline solution is at least about 16. Alkali metal hydroxides and polyvalent metal chelates are useful alkalin solutions.
