    摘要: The objective of the invention is the development of a new process for producing sulfur from phosphogypsum. During this process, the phosphogypsum is mixed with a source of carbon and hydrogen forming a slurry after mixing. This source of carbon and hydrogen is a natural or synthetic organic polymer, as an example that is not limiting, biomass, used tires or plastic, kerogen or tars. The granules undergo a heat treatment (100 to 150° C.) to evaporate the mixing water.
    The product obtained undergoes a heat treatment (550 to 900° C.) under a neutral atmosphere and/or partially oxidizing. The generated gases are bubbled in deionized water, sodium hypochlorite solution or a basic aqueous solution which allows the trapping, among others, of organosulfur molecules and the precipitation of sulfur S8. Non-entrapped gases are recovered to extract volatile sulfur products.

    摘要: A method for producing insoluble sulfur, including: heating a sulfur to 200-700° C., quenching it with water, aqueous solution and other solvents, drying and solidifying the resulting substance at 40-80° C. for 3-15 h, to obtain an insoluble sulfur crude product; crushing the crude product in water into particles with a particle size of 50-400 meshes, wherein the water temperature is not higher than 80° C.; pumping the slurry of water and crude product into the upper part of an extraction column, pumping solvent into the lower part thereof; making the water and solvent from the top of the column flow into a separation tank to separate water phase and solvent phase, heating and evaporating the solvent phase to recover solvent and obtain soluble sulfur; heating and evaporating the insoluble sulfur and solvent from the bottom of the column to recover solvent and obtain purified insoluble sulfur.
