Efficient Sulfur and Energy Recovery With Novel Isothermal Thermal Flame Reactor
Published Tuesday, June 2, 2009The Claus process is considered to be an industry standard for recovering elemental sulfur from gaseous hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The removal of H2S is desirable due to the detrimental effect H2S has on the environment and human health. However, the gases which accompany H2S in the recovery/removal process impact the optimum reactor temperature...
