  • Patent number: 8062619
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for the treatment of a gas that contains hydrogen sulfide and sulfurous anhydride, in which: a) the gas (3) contacts with an organic solvent (1) containing a catalyst in a gas-liquid reactor-contactor (2) so as to recover separately liquid sulfur and; a gas effluent containing sulfur vapor; subjecting the gas effluent to a first condensation zone (7) operating at 70-100° C. to deposit the sulfur in solid form on sufficiently cold walls of the equipment in zone (7), recovering resultant purified gas containing less than 30 ppm by volume of sulfur melting the deposited solid sulfur to regenerate the equipment, and recycling resultant liquefied sulfur to the reactor contactor.
