Catalyst for elemental sulfur recovery process
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6884348
A catalytic reduction process is described for the direct recovery of elemental sulfur from various SO[sub 2]-containing industrial gas streams. The catalytic process provides high activity and selectivity, as well as stability in the reaction atmosphere, for the reduction of SO[sub 2] to elemental sulfur product with carbon monoxide or other reducing gases. The reaction of sulfur dioxide and reducing gas takes place over a metal oxide composite catalyst having one of the following empirical formulas: [(FO[sub 2])[sub 1[minus]n](RO)[sub n]][sub 1[minus]k]M[sub k], [(FO[sub 2])[sub 1[minus]n](RO[sub 1.5])[sub n]][sub 1[minus]k]M[sub k], or [Ln[sub x]Zr[sub 1[minus]x]O[sub 2[minus]0.5x]][sub 1[minus]k]M[sub k] wherein FO[sub 2] is a fluorite-type oxide; RO represents an alkaline earth oxide; RO[sub 1.5] is a Group IIIB or rare earth oxide; Ln is a rare earth element having an atomic number from 57 to 65 or mixtures thereof; M is a transition metal or a mixture of transition metals; n is a number having a value from 0.0 to 0.35; k is a number having a value from 0.0 to about 0.5; and x is a number having a value from about 0.45 to about 0.55.
