Abstract
A reactor system can include a reactor, including: a first inlet for a first stream including a liquid sulfur including a dissolved hydrogen sulfide, a polysulfide, or a combination thereof. A second inlet can be for a second stream, wherein the second stream can be an oxygen-containing gas with no more than about 2%, by weight nitrogen. A packing can be in contact with a catalyst.
Claims20
A reactor system, comprising:
- a reactor, comprising:
- a first inlet for a first stream including a liquid sulfur comprising a dissolved hydrogen sulfide, a polysulfide, or a combination thereof;
- a second inlet for a second stream;
- the second stream, wherein the second stream is an oxygen-containing gas with no more than about 2%, by weight nitrogen;
- and
- a packing in contact with a catalyst.
A system for degassing liquid sulfur, comprising:
- a zone configured to receive a stream comprising oxygen and a stream comprising an acid gas to produce a stream comprising a liquid sulfur;
- a reactor system comprising a first inlet for a first stream including a liquid sulfur comprising a dissolved hydrogen sulfide, a polysulfide, or a combination thereof, and a second inlet for a second stream of an oxygen-containing gas with no more than about 2%, by weight, nitrogen;
- and
- a carbon dioxide conditioning zone configured to receive a treated tail gas stream.
A method of degassing hydrogen sulfide in a liquid sulfur, the method comprising:
- providing through a first inlet of a reactor a first stream including the liquid sulfur comprising no more than about 600 ppm, by weight, hydrogen sulfide;
- and
- providing through a second inlet of the reactor a second stream of oxygen-containing gas with no more than about 2%, by weight, nitrogen.
