Abstract
The invention provides a method for disposal of di-sulphide compounds having the general formula of R—S—S—R, wherein R is an alkyl group, the method comprising the steps of: (a) combusting said di-sulphide compounds in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas in a sulphur dioxide generation zone, whereby at least part of the di-sulphide compounds is converted to sulphur dioxide to obtain a gas stream comprising sulphur dioxide; (b) reacting the gas stream comprising sulphur dioxide with hydrogen sulphide to obtain elemental sulphur.
