ABSTRACT:
In gas/liquid contact processes for the absorption of sulfur gas streams using alkaline, oxygen regenerated washing solutions, for example as in the Stretford process, the washing solution is treated with a soluble aldehyde to control the rate of formation of thiosulfate salts in the solution. The thiosulfate is thus oxidized to sulfate which is subsequently recovered without any substantial loss of washing solution.
