A method for combustion of sulphur in an internal combustion engine, especially a diesel engine, is described. According to the method, the combustion takes place in the presence of a catalyst, which is selected among platinum-group metals and alloys thereof, preferably platinum or an alloy thereof. The use of polymerised sulphur as lubricant in a sulphur combustion engine is described. Furthermore, the combustion suitably takes place in an engine, the crankcase of which is sealed against the piston, preferably in a crosshead engine. Finally, also a method is described for removing solidified sulphur from metal surfaces, sulphur being dissolved in an oil, preferably diesel oil. |
