DECARBONISATION IN THE SULPHURIC ACID INDUSTRY ... Login to read the full article, or sign up for a FREE TRIAL https://lnkd.in/epbwxNuk New concepts focused on the transfer and combination of existing sulphur and sulphuric acid technologies to support decarbonisation of the sulphuric acid industry are being investigated. In this article three research projects are discussed: - Sulphur dioxide depolarised electrolysis for green regeneration of spent acid, - Use of renewable heat and catalyst to the splitting process from sulphuric acid to SO2?for reduction of fossil fuel consumption, and - Sulphur as an energy vector. ... with Dimitrios Dimitrakis, Dennis Thomey , Christian Sattler (German Aerospace Center (DLR) Martin Kürten, Jonas Michels (GRILLO Chemicals GmbH) https://lnkd.in/epbwxNuk #decarbonisation #catalyst #sulphuricacid #sulfuricacid #electrolysis #sulphur #sulphurdioxid #so2

Exports are difficult, but the Kazakh uranium industry is consuming an increasing amount. -The rapid growth of nickel sulphate Nickel sulphate is an intermediate step in the production of materials for batteries, and is seeing rapid demand growth as the auto industry moves towards electric power trains. - A novel catalyst for sulphur dioxide oxidation P&P Industries AG introduces a new platinum-promoted honeycomb catalyst for SO2 oxidation, designed to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions in sulphuric acid production - Johannes Hofer, Alexander Sigg, Paul Piantino, Lajos Dobrosi, Dr. Wolfgang Kaltner, Hans-Georg Reinbacher, Markus Dielacher and M Felsberger - Staying ahead of SO2 emission limits BASF's high-performance sulphuric acid catalyst O4-116 Quattro combines the benefits of an increased surface area with a superior caesium-promoted active phase composition enabling significantly lower ignition and operating temperatures and thus reducing SO2 emissions - with Jochen Willersinn - Optimising European SRU incinerators Leah Goettler, P.Eng., Jan Kiebert and Peter Seville of SGS Sulphur Experts review the role of the incinerator attached to sulphur recovery units, how the three most common European TGUs each affect the demand on the incinerator itself, and the potential reduction in CO2 emissions for a generic facility of each type. - Decarbonisation in the sulphuric acid industry GRILLO Chemicals GmbH and German Aerospace Center (DLR) report on new concepts under investigation focused on the transfer and combination of existing sulphur and sulphuric acid technologies to support decarbonisation of the sulphuric acid industry, with: Dimitrios Dimitrakis, Dennis Thomey and Christian Sattler of German Aerospace Center (DLR) Martin Kürten and Jonas Michels of GRILLO Chemicals GmbH - Sulphur 2024 index A full listing of all news items and articles published in Sulphur last year.

REJUVENATION OF A VINTAGE SRU Wood demonstrates how sulphur technology was implemented at a 46-year old refinery SRU to improve reliability, operability and performance to meet new requirements for increased throughput and higher availability, with Scott Kafesjian and Quinn K. https://lnkd.in/e4fEP_7d #sru #sulphur

THE MERCHANT MARKET FOR SULPHURIC ACID Short term supply constraints are dominating acid markets at present, but increasing smelter production across Asia may lead to oversupply in the longer term. - Batteries and metal processing - Industrial applications - Supply dynamics - Growth in smelter capacity - Sulphur-burning capacity - Recycling and other sources - Regional market dynamics - Asia, Europe, Americas, Africa, Australia - Pricing trends and trade dynamics - Outlook https://lnkd.in/eznMb5u7 #sulphuricacid #sulfuricacid #smelter

Richard Hands' editorial in the latest issue of Sulphur magazine - Morocco's phosphate drive. "...OCP Group intends to dramatically increase its rock production capacity to 70 million t/a by 2028, up from 47.5 million t/a in 2023." #phosphates #sulphur #ocp #china #morocco

Marcus Weber of Fluor Corporation discusses degassing units for large scale recovery units, evaluating the pros and cons of various available commercial technologies with the emphasis on mega size sulphur recovery units and focussing on how technology can lower degassing capex via economy of scale for new facilities or existing facilities undergoing expansion. https://lnkd.in/dEGw4nmc #sulphur #degassing #srus

New issue online at www.sulphurmagazine.com - The merchant market for sulphuric acid? Short term supply constraints are dominating acid markets at present, but increasing smelter production across Asia may lead to oversupply in the longer term. ? - India’s sulphur and sulphuric acid industries? India’s phosphate production is using increasing volumes of sulphuric acid, but new domestic smelter. ? - The market for ammonium sulphate Continuing growth in Chinese ammonium sulphate production is leading to a continuing flood of exports, as greater awareness of the utility of sulphur as a fertilizer leads to increasing global demand. ? - Industrial demand for sulphur dioxide? Beyond its use in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, sulphur dioxide also has many industrial uses, especially in the food, paper, pharmaceutical and refining industries. ? - The importance of cryogenic distillation technologies As the oil and gas industry focus on new requirements for CO2?recovery, cryogenic processes come under the spotlight.?Mahin Rameshni and Stephen Santo of Rameshni & Associates Technology & Engineering (RATE USA)?discuss the importance of cryogenic processes in acid gas sweetening. Liquefied H2S and CO2?reinjection is proposed as a cost effective alternative to large sulphur plants. ? - Advanced feed gas control by detecting BTEX in SRU feed gas? The development and implementation of modern process instruments and control systems in sulphur recovery units has increased significantly over the last decade.?Michael Gaura, Jochen Geiger and Harry Burton, Ph.D. of AMETEK Process Instruments?discuss the impact of BTEX on sulphur plant operations and how BTEX concentrations can be measured. ? - Sulphur degassing systems for large scale sulphur recovery units? Marcus Weber of Fluor Corporation?discusses degassing units for large scale SRUs, evaluating the pros and cons of various available commercial technologies and focussing on how technology can lower degassing capex via economy of scale for new facilities or existing facilities undergoing expansion. ? - Rejuvenation of a vintage SRU? In this revamp case study, Scott Kafesjian and Quinn K. of?Wood?demonstrate how sulphur technology was implemented at a 46-year old refinery SRU to improve reliability, operability and performance to meet new requirements for increased throughput and higher availability. ? - 60 years in the sulphuric acid industry? For six decades, Chemetics?has been a pioneering force in sulphuric acid design and equipment. This article dives into?Chemetics’ rich history and key innovations that have shaped and moulded the sulphuric acid industry. ?
