Abstract
A method and apparatus for treating a catalytic polyvalent metal redox absorption solution, after absorption of H.sub.2 S from a gas, in a first hydrothermal treatment, to separate the polyvalent metal, for example as a polyvalent metal sulfide precipitate, and thereafter treating the redox solution in a higher temperature hydrothermal treatment to decompose thiosulfate salts and, if present, thiocyanide and other cyanide salts and metal-cyanide complexes to decompose the salts and complexes to molecules that can be treated in the H.sub.2 S-absorption process for recovery of sulfur and alkali values.
