Abstract

A refining process of a hot gas such as coal gas containing hydrogen sulfide and ammonia comprises steps of contacting the hot gas with a first catalyst comprising iron oxide to remove hydrogen sulfide, and then contacting the hot gas with a second catalyst comprising reduced iron made by reducing iron oxide prior to introducing the hot gas into the catalyst to remove ammonia. The refining process further includes steps of temperature adjustment of the gas directing to the first and second catalyst and the removal of hydrogen sulfide remaining in the hot gas after the removal of the ammonia with a third catalyst comprising iron oxide.
