A cyclic process for the removal of hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide, from a variety of gas streams is disclosed. The gas stream containing the sour gas(es) is contacted with an aqueous solution of a specific reactant ligand or chelate, or mixtures thereof, optionally in an absorbent, containing a stabilizer selected from specified bisulfites for improvement of chelate life. The hydrogen sulfide is converted to sulfur, CO2 may be absorbed to produce a purified gas stream, and the reactant chelate is reduced. The process includes sulfur removal and regeneration of the reactant chelate.
