Abstract:
In oxidizing sulphides contained in alkaline aqueous solutions by an oxygen-containing gas, the unwanted production of hydrogen sulphide is prevented by effecting the oxidation in the presence of finely divided active carbon and with vigorous stirring.
Abstract:
Sulphite waste liquor is concentrated in a plural effect evaporator; the so-removed vent steam containing SO2 is cooled at low pressure and the condensate discharged; and the resulting gas rich in SO2 is compressed to atmospheric pressure in a vacuum pump requiring little or no sealing water.
