Abstract

In recovering sulphur from hydrogen sulphide by interacting hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide in two catalyst stages using a granular catalyst in fixed beds, the first stage being carried out at a temperature of about 300 DEG C. or higher such that sulphur is produced as a vapour and the second at a lower temperature such that sulphur is deposited on the catalyst, sulphur being separated from the gases leaving the first stage before passing them to the second two catalyst chambers are used in the second stage alternatively for reaction and regeneration. The hydrogen sulphide is reacted with sufficient sulphur dioxide to convert all the hydrogen sulphide being treated to sulphur and water vapour assuming complete reaction, i.e. the minimum ratio of hydrogen sulphide to sulphur dioxide is 2 : 1 by volume. The catalyst may be alumina, bauxite or bauxite promoted with iron oxide. The temperature in the second stage reaction may be maintained at 150 DEG C. The gases resulting from the second stage reaction may be used, after heating, in the regeneration process.
