Abstract
A process for removing hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream wherein the filtering media consists essentially of calcined diatomite and between 5% and 30% by weight of ferric ions bonded to the calcined diatomite. This process is particularly efficient due to the fact that the removal of hydrogen sulfide from the gas stream is effected with a single pass adsorption performance of up to 45 mg of H2S per gram of filtering media. Other advantages include the fact that the process has the ability to remove H2S form a gaseous mixture, from a concentration of 30,000 ppm down to non-detectable levels in a single pass. Repeated in-situ regeneration of the filtering media has been proven to be a simple matter of blowing ambient air through the filtering media.
Description
TITLE: REMOVING HYDROGEN SULFIDE FROM A
GASEOUS MIXTURE USING IRON HYDROXIDE
BONDED TO CALCINED DIATOMITE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the removal of hydrogen sulfide (HZS) from various gases, and more particularly it relates to the removal of hydrogen sulfide from a gaseous mixture using a filtering media containing iron hydroxide intimately bonded to calcined diatomite.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Hydrogen sulfic~le can be present in various air streams and is often found in gas streams associated with petroleum storage and transfer facilities, anaerobic digesters, sewage treatment plants and pulp and paper mills. In many cases, the hydrogen sulfide has to be removed because of its toxicity, corrosive properties, and unpleasant odour.
Several methods are known and have been used in the past for removing hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream. Perhaps the most popular method is one which consists in passing the gaseous mixture through an iron sponge bed. The iron sponge bed is a type of filter which comprises essentially iron salts adsorbed on a wood chip support media. Also, there are known processes in which a sulfurous gas is passed through a bed of iron oxide particles. These processes and various others are described in US Patents which can be found in particular in the US Classification 423/231 entitled: Rerrioving Hydrogen Sulfide from a Gaseous Mixture Utilizing Iron Oxide or Hydroxide.
Problems associated with the prior art processes are numerous and include the facts that some media are self igniting when exposed to air and therefore are not renewable. Because of their weak sulfur retention, some of these non-renewable media must be treated as hazardous waste. Other known filtering media have a relatively low HZS adsorption capacity or a low HZS adsorption -performance in a single pass process. Another drawback of some commercial H2S filtering systems is that the filtering media must be disposed of after a single use.
As such, it will lbe appreciated that there continues to be a need for a filtering process in which the filtering media is capable of removing hydrogen sulfide from a gaseous mixture with a high single pass performance. Further, it is believed that there continues to be a need for a filtering process wherein the filtering media is easily renewable and does not generate any hazardous waste when disposed of after multiple reuses.
SUMMARY OF THIC INVENTION
The present invention provides for an effective process for removing hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream. Essentially, the process according to the present invention uses a filtering media which has a large single-pass adsorptionperformance, which is renewable several times and which has a considerable lifetime adsorption capacity.

SUMMARY OF THIC INVENTION
The present invention provides for an effective process for removing hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream. Essentially, the process according to the present invention uses a filtering media which has a large single-pass adsorptionperformance, which is renewable several times and which has a considerable lifetime adsorption capacity.
2 In a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for removing hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream wherein the gas stream is passed through a filtering media consisting essentially of calcined diatomite and between 5% and 30% by weight of ferric ions bonded to the calcined diatomite.
This process is particularly efficient due to the fact that the removal of hydrogen sulfide from the gas stream is effected with a single pass adsorption performance of up to 45 mg of H2S per gram of filtering media.
Other advantages include the fact that the process has the ability to remove HZS from a gaseous mixture, from a concentration of 30,000 ppm down to non-detectable levels of less than 0.2 ppm in a single pass. Further, the lifetime adsorption capacity of the filtering media is about one half or more of the weight of the filtering media.
In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for removing hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream, comprising the steps of passing the gas stream through a filtering media consisting essentially of calcined diatomite, and between 5% and 30% by weight of ferric ions bonded by c:hemisorption bonds to the calcined diatomite. The process further includes the steps of renewing the filtering media several times when the filtering media is saturated with sulfides by blowing ambient air through the filtering media. The regeneration of the filtering media can be accomplished while maintaining an average hydrogen sulfide adsorption performance thereof of about 32 mg of hydrogen sulfide per gram of filtering media per cycle. Because the filtering media is non-flammable, there is no risk of combustion due to the heat generated during the regeneration proce~~,s.

3 In yet another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for removing hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream, comprising the step of passing the gas stream through a filtering media consisting essentially of calcined diatomite having particles ranging in sizes between about 30 mesh and about 60 mesh, and between 5% and 30% by weight of ferric ions bonded by chemisorption bonds to the calcined diatomite. The process is particularly advantageous for filtering moist gases, due to the fact that the filtering media remains porous when wet. The eff ciency of the process increases with the adsorption of a certain amount of moisture in the filtering media.
Still another feature of the process according to the present invention is that it is susceptible of a low cost of material, installation and operation, and accordingly is then susceptible of low price of sale to the industry, thereby making such H2S filtering process economically available to the public.
Other advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description.

The filtering media used in the process according to preferred embodiment was the subject of an earlier patent, US Patent 6,200,482
4 issued on March 13, 2001, in which it is described as a filtering media for removing arsenic from ground water. The filtering media is known under the trademark MEDIA G2~ and is available from ADI International Inc., a corporation having its principal place of business in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Although the initial purpose of the filtering media was for use as a water filter, it was discovered that the same filtering media has advantageous properties in removing hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream.
The filtering media contains iron hydroxide Fe(OH)3 intimately bonded to calcined diatomite. The ferric ions content in the filtering media is between about 5% and about 30% by weight. The preferred calcined diatomite material has particles ranging in sizes from about 30 mesh to about 60 mesh. This size and type of diatomite particles has been found to be advantageous for use in filtering arsenic from water as well as for use in gas filtering columns, particularly for allowing intimate contact between the gas and the ferric ions bonded to the diatomite particles. The calcined diatomite particles do not offer substantial resistance to the flow of a gas passing through it and do not expand in contact with a moist gas.
The calcined type of diatomite is believed to be an important element also contributing to the performance of filtering media in removing hydrogen sulfide from sulfurous gases. Calcined diatomite particles have multiform shapes and a greater porosity than ordinary diatomite particles. The heat treatment applied to the diatomite particles during the calcination process, increases the porosity of the particles by breaking their surfaces and forming pores, cracks, crevices, cavities, hollows and protrusions. These pores, cracks, crevices, cavities, hollows and protrusions offer additional surfaces on each particle to adsorb and to retain ferric ions.

These pores, cracks, crevices, cavities, hollows and protrusions offer additional surfaces on each particle to adsorb and to retain ferric ions.
5 During the manufacturing of the filtering media, the calcined diatomite is impregnated with ferric ions in a liquid form, such as a ferric chloride solution. The solution entrains the ferric ions over the entire surface of the calcined diatomite particles and deep inside the pores, cracks, crevices and cavities of the particles. Then, the ferric chloride is converted into iron hydroxide in-situ within the diatomite particles, using sodium hydroxide for example, to better bond the ferric ions over and into the entire structure of e-ach diatomite particle. The diatomite material has negative charges and attracts the positively charged ferric ions, thereby contributing to the formation of strong ionic impregnation bonds between the diatomite material and the ferric ions.
During the manvufacturing process, the sodium hydroxide is added slowly to bring the p~( of the slurry to a final value of at least about 9, ensuring a complete and unhasty conversion of the ferric chloride to iron hydroxide. This manufacturing process is advantageous for yielding a ferric ion content, in the form of iron hydroxide, of between about 5% and about 30% by weight of the media. During this manufacturing process, it is believed that irregu'.Lar clusters of ferric ions are formed and become entrapped or otherwise: interlocked inside the pores, cracks, crevices and cavities of the calcined diatomite particles, and therefore become strongly bonded to the calcined diatomite particles. The bond described above is believed to be a chemisorption bond produced by an impregnation-oxidation process which is characterized by its irreversible chemical forces. It is also believed that these chemisorption bonds between the ferric ions and the calcined diatomite particles contribute greatly to the abilities of the filtering media to retain its ferric ions such that it is renewable several times after being saturated with sulfides. Also it was found that when the filtering media is saturated with water or subj ected to

Also it was found that when the filtering media is saturated with water or subj ected to
6 a flow of water through it, the iron component is not released from the filtering media. This .Finding supports the fact that iron hydroxide is intimately bonded to the calcined diatomite particles.
Other advantagca of using the filtering media for removing H2S
from a gas stream include the fact that it has a pH of about 10 - 11, which favourably affect the reaction of HZS with the ferric ions in the filtering media.
Testing of the filtering media was carried out to determine its optimum performance in removing hydrogen sulfide from a sulphurous gas. In a first serifs of tests to determine adsorption capacities, comparative results were obtained from similar tests carried on a variant of the filtering media, hereinafter referred to as the variant media, wherein the calcined diatomite was replaced by vermiculite. The filtering media and the variant media are generally or j ointly referred to as the media sample or both media samples..
Both media sannples were subjected to testing in dry and moist conditions. Dry columns were filled with media samples that were not rinsed or pre-moistened. All the fines were present in the media samples.
Moist columns were prepared in three different ways: 1) washing the media samples with wGvter until all the fines were removed; 2) soaking the media samples in water overnight and placing them in the columns with minimal removals of the fines, and 3) placing the media samples into the columns and then pouring water down through them. In all three cases, the moist columns were allowed to drain out all excess water for at least one day before testing began.

In all three cases, the moist columns were allowed to drain out all excess water for at least one day before testing began.
7 All columns were fed a gas stream from an anaerobic digester, containing approximately 30,000 ppm of H2S. The outlet H2S
concentration was measured several times per day, using gas testing tubes known under the trade name DRAEGERTM, and having a minimum readable value of 0.2 ppm. Saturation of the media samples was determined when HZS concentration in the treated gas exceeded 500 ppm.
The results of the tests were as follows. The adsorption performance of the column containing the washed filtering media according to the preferred embodiment was approximately 30 mg of HZS
per gram of filtering media before it was considered saturated. The filtering media which had been soaked but not rinsed of fines had an adsorption performance of 45 mg of HZS per gram of filtering media. The dry filtering media ad:>orbed about 40 mg of HZS per gram of filtering media. The variant mf;dia was able to adsorb almost 70 mg of HZS per gram of variant media.
It is believed that during the filtration process, the media samples adsorb HZS and form ferric sulfide by the oxidation of HZS and the dissociation of the iron hydroxide species present in the media samples.
Regeneration of the filtering media was accomplished by the oxidation of the FeS produced during HZS removal. FeS was oxidized by simply blowing ambient air through the column to form different species of iron hydroxide, elemental sulphur and water. The regeneration process reconverts the iron hydroxide to its original bond to the diatomite material such that the filtering; media is usable again to remove HZS from a sulfurous gas stream.

8 Ferric sulfide is grey to brownish black in colour and agglomerates into lumps, rods or granular powder during the filtration process. As a sulfurous gas is passed upward through the filtering media, the filtering media gradually turns 'black, beginning at the bottom of the column, and indicates that H2S removal is taking place. During the process, the formation of lumps and fine clay-like gray powder can also be noticed.
Some of the test columns were transparent. During regeneration of the filtering media, a colour change was also noted. The filtering media was seen to change from completely black to almost its original orange colour. After regeneration, the filtering media may have a lighter shade of orange, possibly due to the elemental sulphur, being yellow, produced in the filtering media. In ~~ome cases, black specs may remain in the filtering media. These black specs indicate that total regeneration has not been attained.
Attempts to regenerate the variant media were unsuccessful.
Blowing air through tile column did not return the variant media to its original colour. Also, it was found that as this variant media becomes wet, it expands to such a degree that the filter column becomes completely plugged, and the flow ~f gas there through becomes almost impossible.
The testing of the filtering media has indicated that the adsorption performance of the dry filtering media was similar to that of the pre-moistened filtering media, being 40 mg of H2S and 45 mg of H2S per gram of filtering media respesctively. The performance of the dry filtering media has been shown to increase to a same level as for the moist filtering media, after it had adsorbed moisture from the gas stream passing through it. It

The performance of the dry filtering media has been shown to increase to a same level as for the moist filtering media, after it had adsorbed moisture from the gas stream passing through it. It
9 is believed that the slight difference in initial performance is compensated for by the advantages. in eliminating the need for pre-moistening the filtering media.
The testing of the filtering media and the variant media also indicated that although the variant media had the ability to absorb more HZS in a first run, it is not renewable and therefore, the adsorption capacity of the filtering media according to the preferred embodiment exceeds that of the variant media in only two cycles. One cycle is referred to as a saturation of the filtering media with sulfides and the regeneration of the filtering media.
A second part of the testing program was focussed on the mechanical characteristics of the filtering process, and more particularly it was focussed on finding an optimum empty bed contact time (EBCT).
The EBCT is defined as the residence time of the gas inside the filtering column.
Three different columns of one half inch in diameter and five feet tall each were set up to test the effect of EBCT. These three columns were set up to run at 40, 130 and 200 ml/min, yielding EBCT of 300, 90 and 60 seconds, respectively. Again, all columns were fed a gas stream from an anaerobic digester, containing approximately 30,000 ppm of HZS. The filtering media in all three columns were pre-moistened.
The results indicate that the EBCT of 60 and 90 seconds worked better than the 300 second column. The 60 second column adsorbed 45 mg of H2S per gram of filtering media during its first cycle, gradually declining to an average 32 mg of HZS per gram of filtering media per cycle and a total removal of 560 mg of HZS per gram of filtering media in 18 cycles. Testing on the 60 second EBCT column was stopped when the removal was only 26 mg of HZS per gram of filtering media for the last two cycles. Average outlet H2S concentration prior to saturation was about 30 ppm, with several readings as low as 0.2 ppm.
The 90 second EBCT had similar results, averaging 30 mg of H2S
removed per gram of filtering media, and a total removal of 326 mg of HZS
per gram of filtering miedia in 11 cycles. Although this column did not remove as much H2S per cycle, it has achieved a lower effluent concentration of HZS, averaging 23 ppm.
The 300 second EBCT column did not work as well as the other two columns. Its adsorption performance was only 20 mg/g per cycle, and it removed 115 mg/g in 6 cycles. Average outlet H2S concentration was 40 ppm.
Further testing was carried out to measure the effectiveness of the filtering media in removing HZS at different linear velocities. Linear velocity is the speed at which the gas flows vertically through the filtering column. Two columns were set up to operate at 1 ft/min and 3 ft/min respectively, with a common EBCT of 60 seconds. The results shown below are compared to~ the 60 second EBCT column mentioned before, which was operating ai: 5 ft/min.
The 3 ft/min column yielded an average removal rate of 18 mg/g per cycle. The filtering column was tested through 6 cycles and adsorbed 110 mg/g in total. The 1 ft/min column averaged only 17 mg/g per cycle. The column was tested through 6 cycles, and removed 100 mg/g in total. The results show that the 1 ft/min and the 3 ft/min velocities are not as effective as the 5 ft/min test which gave an average 32 mg of H2S removal per gram of filtering media per cycle, and a total lifetime removal capacity of 560 mg of HZS per gram oar filtering media, in 18 cycles.
In view of thesf: results, a new column, 10 feet in length was built to find the maximum linear velocity which the filtering media can handle.
This column was set up to run at 60 second EBCT with a linear velocity of 10 ft/min, through a. filtering media in a dry state. During three cycles, the average adsorption performance was 32 mg of HZS per gram of filtering media. It was observed, however, that during the first cycle, the outlet H2S concentration never went below 50 ppm. During the second and third cycles, it was much lower, averaging less than 5 ppm prior to saturation. This may be explained by the higher flow rate and therefore by a longer time requiref~ for wetting the filtering media. However, once properly wetted, performance was found to be excellent.
In commercial and industrial applications it is recommended to contain the filtering media in a filtering column having a window or sight glass, such that users can develop certain visual skills for evaluating at a glance, the conditions of the filtering media. During the regeneration of the filtering media, it is recommended to pass the purging air exiting one filtering column into another filtering column to capture any hydrogen sulfide that may be released from the filtering column being regenerated.
During regeneration of the filtering media, a small amount of the sulphur on the ferric sulfide rnay be reconverted to hydrogen sulfide gas and stripped off the filtering media by the regeneration air. The amount of hydrogen sulfide exiting the filter in the regeneration air is less than 0.02%
of the hydrogen sulfidle which was originally adsorbed by the filtering media. For environmental reasons, it is therefore recommended to pass the purging air exiting a :Filtering column being regenerated into a second filtering column before releasing the purging air into the atmosphere. For convenience, this second filtering column may be an adjacent filtering column in a bank of f ltering columns or a secondary filtering column provided for this purpose.
It will be appresciated that where the application can tolerate the injection of ambient air in the gas stream, the regeneration of the filtering media can be effected automatically on a continuing basis. It is also believed that the filtering media can be made new again by separating the sulphur particles from it, by washing, sifting or otherwise.
As to additional details related to the manufacturing, installation and use of the filtering media, the same should be apparent from the above description, and accordingly further discussion relative to the manner of making, using and re~aewing the filtering media would be considered redundant and is not provided.
While one embodiment of the present invention has been described herein above, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications, alternate compositions, alternate methods and equivalents may be employed without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the above description should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention which is defined by the appended claims.
