Abstract: Catalysts comprising bismuth and vanadium components are highly active and stable, especially in the presence of water vapor, for oxidizing hydrogen sulfide to sulfur or SO.sub.2. Such catalysts have been found to be especially active for the conversion of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur by reaction with oxygen or SO.sub.2.
Abstract: An element selected from Groups IA, IB, IIB, IIIA and IIIB is incorporated into an iron bismuth molybdate oxide complex catalyst by impregnation.
