A fuel gas is desulfurized while hot by contact with a molten alkali salt. The salt is regenerated for further use by contact with a recirculating gas stream. The H2S and COS picked up by the recirculating gas stream is scrubbed at low temperature in an aqueous alkaline salt scrub system such as hot potash. H2S regenerated from the low temperature alkaline scrub system is subsequently converted to sulfur. By combining both high temperature and low temperature alkali scrubbing in a single dual temperature dual alkali (DTDA) process, the best advantages of both scrub techniques are retained whereas the serious disadvantages of molten salt scrubbing are eliminated.
