There is provided a process for the catalytic production of hydrogen from the reaction of hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide with the elimination of the carbonyl sulfide and/or sulfur dioxide by-products. The carbonyl sulfide and the sulfur dioxide are combusted or reacted in one or more reaction steps with each other, oxygen and/or hydrogen sulfide to produce carbon dioxide, water, sulfur or sulfuric acid or a combination of these.

Catalytic production of hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide and carbon

The burning characteristics of a relatively hydrogen deficient fuel are improved by physically mixing with, but not dissolving in, the fuel a light hydrogen rich vapor, such as hydrogen and/or methane, ethane, etc.

Method of burning hydrogen deficient fuels

Decreasing the viscosity of and improving the atomizing and burning characteristics of a hydrogen deficient fuel by dissolving a light, hydrogen rich hydrocarbon in the fuel.

Method of burning low hydrogen content fuels

A cracking catalyst composition co-impregnated with a combination of a rare earth oxide and with either chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel or platinum group metals. Such catalyst compositions, when used in fluidized catalytic cracking processes, result in significant reductions of sulfur content in the coke produced thereby, in turn significantly reducing sulfur oxide (SO.sub.x) emission in the regeneration stack gases.
