ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for the production of sulfur which comprises the oxidation of a sulfide solution in the presence of a catalyst comprising a metal phthalocyanine compound to produce sulfur and a polysulfide effluent, decomposition of the polysulfide effluent with steam at a temperature of from about 115.degree. to about 125.degree.C. and a pressure of 10 psig, to about 20 psig. to produce a vaporous phase effluent containing water, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, the oxidation of at least a portion of the vaporous effluent with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst comprising a metal phthalocyanine compound dispersed on a solid support, said catalyst being in contact with a liquid phase comprising a thiosulfate-containing compound, at a temperature of from about 115.degree. to about 125.degree.C. and a pressure of from about 10 psig. to about 20 psig. to produce steam, sulfur and a thiosulfate compound and the recovery of the resultant sulfur.
