Abstract
Elemental sulfur is recovered from ammonium salts of sulfuric oxyacids (e.g. ammonium sulfate, ammonium hydrogen sulfite, and ammonium sulfite) by passing the salt (e.g. in aqueous solution) and a hydrogenous reducing agent (e.g. sewer gas or coal gas) through a reaction chamber maintained at 800.degree. to 1300.degree. C. so as to yield a product gas containing molecular nitrogen, steam, and vaporous sulfur, and then cooling the product gas to 125.degree. to 325.degree. C. so as to condense at least a portion of the sulfur, which is then recovered.
