  • Patent number: 9845539
    Abstract: A chemical process captures and convert hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas into elemental sulfur, polysulfide, sulfur dioxide and/or sulfuric acid while regenerating sodium hydroxide capture agent for further use in an initial H2S capture step. Processing may include initial sodium hydroxide scrubbing of gas streams containing H2S, electrochemical regeneration of the sodium hydroxide from sodium hydrosulfide or sodium sulfide, recovery of sulfur and/or sulfur dioxide from the electrochemical processing, and production of sulfuric acid from such sulfur and/or sulfur dioxide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2017
