<p>PCT No. PCT/NL92/00064 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 6, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 6, 1993 PCT Filed Apr. 3, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/17410 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 15, 1992.The invention provides a method for removing sulphur compounds from water by anaerobic reduction of the sulphur compounds to sulphide, followed by a partial oxidation of the sulphide to elementary sulphur. The anaerobic reduction is carried out at elevated temperature, either continuously at a temperature of 45 DEG -70 DEG C., or periodically at a temperature of 55 DEG -100 DEG C. If the reduction is carried out periodically, a single rise in temperature for a few hours to several days over a period of 3-6 months can suffice. The method is particularly applicable to the removal of sulphate, sulphite and thiosulphate.</p> |
