  • Patent number: 5173285
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of hydrogen sulfide by reacting sulfur and hydrogen which comprises two hydrogenation reactions. The first hydrogenation reaction of the present invention comprises the steps of supplying hydrogen gas in a reactor containing sulfur at least a part of which is in a liquid phase at a temperature of not lower than 250.degree. C., and reacting the liquid sulfur and the hydrogen gas to produce a crude hydrogen sulfide effluent gas in the reactor. The sulfur vapor contained in the effluent gas is further reacted with fleshly added hydrogen gas in the second hydrogenation reaction to further concentrate the resulting hydrogen sulfide.

  • Patent number: 4436532
    Abstract: A process for converting solid wastes to gases suitable for use as a town gas comprising the steps of (1) pyrolyzing solid wastes at 550.degree. C. or higher in a pyrolyzing furnace to produce pyrolysis gases containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and dioxide, methane and other hydrocarbons as well as chlorine-containing compounds, sulphur-containing compounds and other impurities, (2) washing the pyrolysis gases with an aqueous alkaline solution or the like, (3) refining the washed pyrolysis gases with the hydrogen contained in the pyrolysis gases, (4) reforming the refined pyrolysis gases by steam reforming, CO conversion and/or methanation and (5) separating the excess steam and carbonic acid gas from the reformed gases. In one embodiment, the washing (2) and refining (3) may be substituted by the high-temperature steam reforming of the pyrolysis gases in hot state supplied directly from the pyrolyzing furnace.
