ABSTRACT:
A means to increase the reducing potential of natural gas used in the reduction of sulfates such as gypsum. A reducing mixture of natural gas and air (or oxygen) is heated prior to reduction of the sulfate. For gypsum reduction, heating the reducing mixture to 1500.degree. F. (816.degree. C.) prior to gypsum reduction increased the gypsum conversion to calcium sulfide to above 65% at a reactor temperature of 1400.degree.-1500.degree. F. (700.degree.-816.degree. C.) verses less than a 40% conversion rate when an unheated reducing mixture was used.
