Wanted to see if anyone had some insight into this. Suppose I have a fuel gas stream that needs cleaned of organic sulfur compounds, primarily CS2 (500-700 ppm) and COS (150-200 ppm) and want to get it as clean as possible for consumption. What industrially viable process could in use to achieve this?

The most promising results I've found are the use of a Hoffman-type polymer (though I'm not sure if stripping the gas back off afterward is easily done) and circulating mineral oil (seen in a 1966 patent).

Thanks!

Hello Hail,

 

I suggest you consider your gas to be known as a sour gas due to the sulphur compounds. You could read up on gas sweetening processes for desulphurisation.  There are many processes / methods, best one(s) may depend on concentrations at inlet and outlet, and the scale of operation.

Gas separation membranes can be a possibility as well.
