Abstract

Sulphur dioxide is recovered from gas mixtures containing it by washing them with a substantially anhydrous solvent consisting of aniline or its homologues or N-alkyl derivatives of aniline or their homologues or mixtures thereof, the used solvent being regenerated by the application of heat and reduction of pressure, whereby concentrated sulphur dioxide is obtained. The washing may be effected under increased pressure, say 10 atmospheres, and at as low a temperature as possible without the solvent congealing. The gases to be treated should preferably be preliminarily dried for example by washing with concentrated sulphuric acid. The absorbed gas may also be set free by passing an inert gas or steam through the used solvent preferably at raised temperature. An example describes the absorption of sulphur dioxide by passing gases up a tower in counter current to a mixture of aniline with dimethyl aniline, the used solvent being recirculated after treatment with inert gas or steam in another tower. Traces of solvent may be removed from the gas by passing it over active charcoal. According to the Provisional Specification the aniline derivatives may be mixed with non-volatile organic solvents such as paraffin oil, creosote oil or vegetable oils, an example being dimethyl aniline mixed with paraffin oil.
