CATALYST FOR THE SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF SULPHUR COMPOUNDS

摘要

The present invention relates to a supported catalyst for the selective oxidation of sulphur compounds from the tail gas of the Claus process, or streams having an equivalent composition, into elemental sulphur or sulphur dioxide (SO2). The present invention also relates to a method for preparing said type of catalyst, as well as to the method for the selective oxidation of sulphur compounds into elemental sulphur which implements the catalyst of the invention, and to the method for the catalytic incineration of the tail gas from the Claus process which implements the catalyst of the present invention.
