Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove impurities quickly by allowing liquid sulfur contg. impurities such as H2S and H2Sx to contact with sweep gas in the presence of Ni-Mo catalyst. CONSTITUTION:Ni-Mo catalyst is prepd. by calcining gamma-Al2O3 after impregnating said gamma-Al2O3 with Ni nitrate and Ni molybdate. Liquid sulfur contg. impurities such as H2S and H2Sx is introduced together with sweep gas selected from O2-contg. gas and N2 into a reactor packed with the catalyst. The introduced materials are allowed to contact in the catalyst bed and purified liquid sulfur is obtd.

The production of elemental sulfur by the Claus reaction between H2S and 502 can be used primarily for sulfur production, or for the production of H2S or SO
The liquid sulfur produced in this way contains 200 to 800 ppm (7) HzS and H2Sx (7) in terms of H2S.

During storage or transportation of such liquid sulfur, dissolved H2
S vaporizes and diffuses, which poses a risk of impact on the human body during shipping and a risk of gas explosion. In addition, H2Sx gradually decomposes into H2Sx.
Therefore, it is equally harmful.

Conventional technology Methods for removing H2S and H2Sx dissolved in liquid sulfur include a method in which liquid sulfur is sprayed onto obstacles to destroy H-3 bonds by physical impact, and a method in which H2S and H2Sx dissolved in liquid sulfur are removed is a method in which H-3 bonds are destroyed by physical impact, and a method in which air and liquid sulfur called a sweep gas is used. are brought into contact with each other without a catalyst and H2S and H
There are methods for removing 2Sx by vaporizing it, but all of them take a long time and have poor removal efficiency. In particular, H2Sx decomposes slowly, and the use of sweep gas alone requires more than a day's processing time. There is also a method of adding NH3 or amine and reacting it with H2S and H2Sx to remove it, but this is not preferred because impurities are mixed into the product sulfur.

The oxygen-containing gas used as the sweep gas in the present invention is
Although air or oxygen-enriched air can be used, it is also possible to use a gas containing only about 1 to 2% oxygen, such as incinerator off-gas in a Claus process sulfur recovery device. Utilizing incinerator off-gas means that the gas is already at a high temperature, so thermal energy can be saved in preheating it to reaction temperature as a sweep gas.

Additionally, nitrogen can also be used as a sweep gas. This is presumed to be because the Ni--Mo catalyst in the present invention acts not as an oxidation catalyst but as a decomposition catalyst for H2Sx to H2S, thereby enhancing the purging effect by the sweep gas.
