H2S Removal Process
1, Conventional iron complex desulfurization
When dealing with flammable gas or other useful gas, an independent absorption tower and an oxidation tower are adopt and the iron complex catalyst are pump into the vessel by booster pump. The absorber separates the H2S from the sulfur-containing gas and converts it to elemental sulfur. The oxidation column can recover the iron complex catalyst. The desulfurization and regeneration are respectively carried out in two towers, so it is called the two-tower process.
2, Self-circulating complex iron desulfurization
A self-circulating process can be used when dealing with amine gases and other non-combustible low pressure gases. In this system, the absorption tower and the oxidation tower are integrated into one unit, thus reducing one vessel, and eliminating the solution circulation pump and related pipeline devices.
The oxidation of sulfur
H2S absorption process & Ionization Process – Mass Transfer process – Rate control step
H2S+ H2O 
HS- + H+
Sulfur oxidation process – Rapid reaction
HS- + 2Fe3+ S°(s) + H+ + 2Fe2+
Sulfur is formed as a solid and form inactive iron bivalent
Catalyst regeneration process
Oxygen absorption process – mass transfer process, rate control step, the oxygen source is air
Catalyst regeneration – Rapid reaction process
