Abstract
The invention provides a process for the manufacture of carbon disulphide comprising supplying a feedstock comprising a hydrocarbonaceous compound to a reaction zone containing a liquid elemental sulphur phase and reacting, in the liquid sulphur phase, at a temperature in the range of from 350 to 750° C. and a pressure in the range of from 3 to 200 bar (absolute) and in the absence of a catalyst, the hydrocarbonaceous compound with elemental sulphur in the absence of molecular oxygen. The invention further provides the use of a liquid stream comprising carbon disulphide and hydrogen sulphide obtainable by such process for enhanced oil recovery.

A process for the manufacture of carbon disulphide comprising supplying a molecular oxygen-containing gas and a feedstock comprising a hydrocarbonaceous compound to a reaction zone containing a liquid elemental sulphur phase and reacting, in the liquid sulphur phase, at a temperature in the range of from 300 to 750° C., the hydrocarbonaceous compound with elemental sulphur to form carbon disulphide and hydrogen sulphide and oxidising at least part of the hydrogen sulphide formed to elemental sulphur and water.
