Abstract: A pressurized medical instrument may include a piston handle system, a locking release system and a pressure display system. The piston handle system may include a piston, a piston seal, a handle and a rear cover. The locking release system may include a push button, a fixed support, a locking block, one or more springs and a slide block. The pressure display system may include a coating, a gauge stand, a lateral board, a gauge stand seal ring, a pressure gauge seal ring, a snapper, a pressure gauge and a rotary Luer conical tapered fitting. The pressurized medical instrument may facilitate rapid boosting operation by two hands, vacuum pumping by two hands and rapid pressure relief by a single hand. The instrument is characterized by ease-of-operation, quick boosting and pressure relief for observing easily the pressure value at different operating angles.

Abstract: The process of invention provides a simplified conversion of sulfur dioxide gas into hydrogen sulfide gas. First, sulfur dioxide gas is absorbed into an aqueous sulfide solution to form sulfite and bisulfide ions. Second, additional sulfur dioxide gas is absorbed into the aqueous solution to form hydrogen sulfide. Third, another portion of the sulfur dioxide is absorbed and reacts in the aqueous solution to form bisulfite. Most advantageously, the bisulfite is decomposed into sulfur dioxide and sulfite. The sulfite is then reduced to sulfide and returned for use in the absorption process. The hydrogen sulfide may then be reacted with SO.sub.2 via the Claus reaction to form elemental sulfur.
