Abstract
The various embodiments relate to a system and method for regenerating a direct oxidation catalyst that coverts H2S to elemental S. One embodiment of the method comprises regenerating a direct oxidation catalyst by contacting the direct oxidation catalyst with steam.
Claims22
A method of regenerating a direct oxidation catalyst, the method comprising:
- contacting the direct oxidation catalyst with steam.
A process for treating a gas stream, the process comprising:
- contacting a gas stream comprising hydrogen sulfide and at least one hydrocarbon component with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a direct oxidation catalyst;
- and
- contacting the direct oxidation catalyst with steam to regenerate the direct oxidation catalyst.
A system for treating a gas stream comprising hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the system comprising:
- at least one first direct oxidation reactor in fluid communication with the gas stream, the first direct oxidation reactor comprising a direct oxidation catalyst;
- and
- a steam source in fluid communication with the first direct oxidation reactor.
