CATALYST FOR THE SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF SULPHUR COMPOUNDS TO ELEMENTAL SULPHUR, PROCESS FOR PREPARING SUCH A CATALYST AND METHOD FOR THE SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF SULPHUR COMPOUNDS TO ELEMENTAL SULPHUR

摘要

The invention is directed to a catalyst for the selectiveoxidation of sulphur-containing compounds to elementalsulphur, comprising at least one catalytically active materialand optionally a carrier, the catalyst having a specificsurface area of more than 20 m2/g and an average pore radiusof at least 25 .ANG., while under the reaction conditions thecatalyst exhibits no substantial activity towards the Clausreaction.
