A process for the preparation of cysteine from cystine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5584887

This patent describes an invention which in one aspect relates to a process for the simultaneous removal of NO/sub chi/ and SO/sub 2/ from a fluid stream comprising mixtures thereof and in another aspect relates to the separation, use and/or regeneration of various chemicals contaminated or spent in the process. It includes the steps of: Contacting the fluid stream at a temperature of between about 105{sup 0} and 180{sup 0}C with a liquid aqueous slurry or solution; separating the fluid stream from the particulates formed; washing and separating the particulates with an aqueous solution having a pH value of between about 5 to 8; subsequently washing and separating the particulates with a strongly acidic aqueous solution; washing and separating the particulates with a basic aqueous solution; optionally adding additional amino acid moiety, iron (II) and alkali to the aqueous liquid to produce an aqueous solution or slurry having a pH value of between about 4 to 12; and recycling the aqueous slurry of the last step to the contacting zone of the first step.
