Abstract
A process for removal of H2S and CO2 from an acid gas stream comprising H2S and CO2, the process comprising the steps of: (a) reacting H2S in the acid gas stream with SO2 to form sulphur vapor and water vapor, thereby obtaining a first off-gas stream comprising CO2, water vapor, sulphur vapor, residual SO2 and residual H2S; (b) converting residual SO2 in the first off-gas stream to H2S in a first off-gas treating reactor, thereby obtaining a second off-gas stream depleted in SO2 and enriched in H2S and CO2 compared to the first off-gas stream; (c) contacting the second off-gas stream with an H2S absorbing liquid, thereby transferring H2S from the gas stream to the H2S absorbing liquid to obtain H2S absorbing liquid enriched in H2S and a third off-gas stream enriched in CO2; (d) removing CO2 from the third off-gas stream by contacting the third off-gas stream with CO2 absorbing liquid in a CO2 absorber, thereby transferring CO2 from the third off-gas stream to the CO2 absorbing liquid to obtain CO2 absorbing liquid enriched in CO2 and purified gas.
