Latest Patents
Lawrence T Denk holds a patent for a "Process for the treatment of sulfur containing gases." This process utilizes the Claus reaction, incorporating a recycle stream with a reactive component to maintain the sulfur-producing reaction at approximately equilibrium conditions. The feedstream may include hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide in an inert gas background. In one embodiment, the feedstream contains a stoichiometrically excess amount of sulfur dioxide for the Claus reaction. The effluent from the reaction zone is directed to a hydrogenation zone, where sulfur dioxide is converted to hydrogen sulfide. This hydrogen sulfide is then extracted and recycled back to the Claus reaction zone. The invention is particularly useful in the high-pressure processing of hydrocarbon gases containing sulfur.
