Zusammenfassung: | PCT No. PCT/NL97/00265 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 25, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 25, 1999 PCT Filed May 12, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/43033 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 20, 1997A process for scrubbing a gas containing hydrogen sulphide and/or carbonyl sulphide, in which the spent scrubbing liquid is treated with autotrophic sulphide-oxidizing bacteria capable of oxidizing at high pH, and elemental sulphur is obtained, the elemental sulphur is separated and the treated scrubbing liquid is recycled to the gas scrubbing step. Before recycling, the scrubbing liquid may further be treated with heterotrophic thiosulphate-oxidizing bacteria which produce polythionate which is useful for further enhancing the sulphide-scrubbing capacity of the scrubbing liquid. |
