PROCESS FOR REMOVING SULFUR AS A LIQUID DURING GAS TREATING

摘要

A process for removing liquid sulfur from a reaction mixture during a gas treating process, especially a process for removing hydrogen sulfide from a gaseous stream. Sulfur which is formed during the process is removed from a reaction mixture by first concentrating the sulfur in a small portion of the reaction mixture and then heating this portion to a temperature which is sufficient to melt the sulfur. The molten sulfur is removed from the reaction mixture and washed with a suitable solvent to remove any remaining reaction mixture.
