Title: Catalyst for removing sulfur from a gas

Abstract: Sulfur oxides are removed from a gas and the sulfur is converted to hydrogen sulfide by the steps of: (1) reacting sulfur oxides in the gas with alumina to form a solid sulfur-containing compound and remove sulfur oxides from the gas; and (2) contacting the solid compound resulting from step (1) with a hydrocarbon at a temperature of about 800.degree.-1300.degree. F. and reacting the solid sulfur-containing compound with components of the hydrocarbon to form hydrogen sulfide.
