ABSTRACT:
A gas phase process for the regeneration and concentration of spent sulfuric acid containing oxidizable impurities, which minimizes decomposition of sulfur trioxide to sulfur dioxide comprising: providing one or more reactor vessels containing hot turbulent combustion products; providing a supply of oxygen to the reactor; atomizing into the reactor vessel or vessels the spent sulfuric acid in droplets capable of evaporating in less than several milliseconds whether or not electromagnetic or ultrasonic energy sources are used to augment evaporation, having a particle size smaller than 50 microns, thereby vaporizing the droplets, almost instantaneously, dissociating the spent sulfuric acid into sulfur trioxide and water, and oxidizing the hydrocarbons; maintaining the temperature in the reactor vessel below 1000.degree. C.; removing the resulting mixture to a separate vessel; condensing the water and absorbing the sulfur trioxide to form sulfuric acid; and removing excess water to produce the desired acid concentration.
