There is disclosed a COS treatment apparatus for a gasified gas, in which
an O.sub.2 removal catalyst and a COS conversion catalyst located on the
downstream side of a gasified gas flow with respect to the O.sub.2
removal catalyst are provided.
Also, there is disclosed a COS treatment apparatus containing a TiO.sub.2
catalyst that carries Cr.sub.2O.sub.3 or NiO.
Further, there is disclosed a COS treatment method including a first step
in which O.sub.2 is removed by the reaction with H.sub.2S and CO, and a
second step in which COS is converted to H.sub.2S.
