Abstract
A method to purify a hydrocarbon gas with hydrogen sulfide as an impurity comprises: (a) charging a chamber with a bed of active-metal carbide of a predetermined mesh-size range; (b) conducting the hydrocarbon gas through the bed of active-metal carbide, forming additional hydrocarbon gas by reaction of the active-metal carbide and the hydrogen sulfide; and (c) filtering from the chamber the hydrocarbon gas without the hydrogen sulfide.
