“…In addition, H 2 S can deactivate catalysts in the industrial chemical processes, including the desulfurization processes. Over the years as countries developed and industrialized, the production of H 2 S as a byproduct increased significantly and countries started to introduce stricter legislation (ACT No 39 of 2004) on the H 2 S emission limits to protect the environment and human beings. , Therefore, the introduction of the stricter legislation forced industries to start investigating methods and commercial processes (Claus, Unisulf, Lo-Cat, Hiperion Iron oxide box, Ferrox, Fischer, Thylox, Sulfolin, South African modified Sulfolin to Stretford technology, ,, and many others) that can recover H 2 S from the H 2 S-containing gas streams (coal gasification off-gases, refinery gases, sour gases, and natural gases), − , and convert it into the elemental sulfur. − The utilization of the sulfur recovery processes is necessary to minimize its impact on plant equipment corrosion, human health, and environmental issues that are associated with the H 2 S gas.…”
