Abstract

See full text

Sulfur is produced by contacting, in a catalytic selective oxidation zone, a feed gas comprising an acid gas stream containing hydrogen sulfide in admixture with about 70 to 130 percent of the stoichiometric amount of oxygen required for conversion of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur and a recycle gas which is a portion of the gas resulting from condensing sulfur from the effluent of the catalytic selective oxidation zone with a catalyst selectively capable of oxidizing hydrogen sulfide to sulfur dioxide substantially without formation of sulfur trioxide to form a gas stream comprising hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and sulfur at a temperature between the kindling temperature of the catalyst and about 850.degree. F. Formed sulfur is condensed from the effluent gas stream and a portion of the substantially sulfur-free effluent returned as recycle gas.
