Abstract: There are provided methods for treating a gas having an undesirable odor. The methods comprise contacting the gas with an acidic aqueous oxidizing composition having a pH of about 2.0 to about 3.0 and comprising at least one cation of a metal; a sequestering agent; and H2O2 and submitting the gas and the composition to UV radiation when the gas and the composition are contacting each other, wherein the treatment permits to reduce by at least 60% intensity of the undesirable odor.

Abstract: There are provided processes for removing H2S from a gas. The processes comprise contacting the gas with an aqueous composition comprising at least one calcium compound, thereby obtaining CaS and a H2S lean treated gas stream, while maintaining the pH at about 9.5 to about 13.0; and contacting the CaS with an aqueous oxidant solution, converting the CaS into at least one of CaSO3 and CaSO4, while maintaining the pH at about 9.5 to about 13.0.

Abstract: There are provided methods for treating a fluid having an undesirable odor. The methods comprise contacting the fluid with a H2O2 basic aqueous oxidizing composition and/or with a H2O2 acidic aqueous oxidizing composition. Optionally, the fluid can be further treated by contacting it with activated carbon and/or by submitting the fluid and the composition to UV radiation when they are contacting together.
