Process for reduction of gaseous sulfur compounds
First Claim
1. In a process for the reduction of the level of gaseous sulfur compounds in a gaseous stream wherein the stream is contacted with a sorber capable of absorbing such compounds under sulfur sorbing conditions, the improvement which comprises carrying out said process with said sorber being present in the form of one or more layers on the surface of a monolith carrier, said layers having a total thickness of at least about 3 g/in3 of the carrier.

Abstract
A process for the reduction of gaseous sulfur compounds in gaseous streams. The gaseous stream is contacted with a sorber, e.g., zinc oxide, which is capable of sorbing the sulfur compounds under sulfur sorbing conditions. The sorber is present in the form of one or more layers on the surface of a monolith carrier, e.g., cordierite. The layers of the sorber have a total thickness of at least 3 g/in3 of the carrier. The process is especially useful for the removal of gaseous sulfur compounds such as H2S from gaseous streams.
