can be burned and the.resulting sulfur di-
oxid utilized in known or suitable ways for
producing sulfite and bisulfite salts, sulfur-
ous acid solution and other substances or
5 effects known to be producible by sulfur di-
oxid. Sulfur can be deposited by subjecting
hydrogen sulfid in known or suitable ways
to sulfur dioxid.
I claim herein as my invention or dis-
10 covery.
1. The process of making hydrogen sul-'
fid, by heating sulfur bearing Beaumont or
analogous petroleum to temperatures at
which gas rich in hydrogen sulfid is evolved
15 therefrom, removing condensable hydrocar-
bon vapors from-the so evolved gas, and col-
lecting the remaining gas appropriately for
subsequent subjection of the same to oper-
ations for utilizing the sulfur content of
20 said gas, substantially as described.
2. The process of making hydrogen sul-
fid, by heating sulfur bearing Beaumont or
analogous petroleum to between 3000 F.
and 5000 F., so as to evolve therefrom a gas
25 rich in hydrogen sulfid and suitably free
from non - condensable hydrocarbons, cool-
ing the so evolved gas to separate the con-
densable hydrocarbons from the non-con-
densable constituents, -and..collecting the gas
30 appropriately for subsequent subjection of
the same to operations for utilizing the su
fur content of hydrogen sulfid, substantially
as described.
~3. The process of making hydrogen sul-
35 fid, by heating sulfur bearing Beaumont or
analogous petroleum to temperatures at
which gas rich in hydrogen sulfid is evolved
therefrom, regulating said heating appro-
priately for . obtaining a steady stream of
40 good volume of non-condensable gas rather
than of hydrocarbons condensable as distil-
late, removing condensable hydrocarbon va-
pors from said gas, and' collecting the gas
appropriately for subsequent subjection of
45 the same to operations for utilizing the sul-
fur-content of said gas, substantially as de-
scribed.
4. The process of making hydrogen sul-
fid, by heating sulfur bearing Beaumont or
50 analogous petroleum to between 300 F.
and 500* F., so as to evolve therefrom a gas .
rich in hydrogen sulfid and suitably free
from non-condensable hydrocarbons, cool-
ing the so evolved gas to separate the con-
55 densable hydrocarbons from, the non-con-
. densable constituents, regulating said heat-
ing appropriately fors obtaining a steady
stream of good volume of the gas rather
than of the condensate formed by said cool-
60 ing, and collecting the gas appropriately for
subsequent subjection of the same to oper-
ations for utilizing the' sulfur content of
hydrogen sulfid, substantially as described.
5. The process o2 making hydrogen sul-
fid, by heating sulfur bearing Beaumont or'analogous petroleum to gradually increas-
ing temperatures to evolve gas rich in hy-
drogen sulfid therefrom, cooling the so
evolved gas to separate the condensable hy-
drocarbons from the non-condensable con- 70
stituents, collecting the gas appropriately
for subsequent subjection of the same to op-
erations for utilizing the sulfur content of
hydrogen sulfid, and stopping such collec-
tion when the temperature of the so heated 75
petroleum is about 5000 F., substantially as
describe d.
6. The process of utilizing Beaumont or
analogous petroleum, by heating such sul-
fur bearing..petroleum to temperatures at 80
which gas rich in hydrogen sulfid is evolved
therefrom, removing condensable hydro-
.carbon vapors from the so evolved gas, col-
lecting the, remaining gas, and subjecting
it to operations for 'utilizing .the sulfur con- 85
tent of said gas, substantially as described.
7. The process of utilizing-Beaumont or
analogous petroleum, by heating such sul-
ful bearing petroleum to between 300 F.
and 5000 F., so as to evolve therefrom gas 90
rich in hydrogen sulfid and suitably free
from non-condensable hydrocarbons, cool-
ing the so evolved gas to separate the con-
densable hydrocarbons from the. non-con-
densable constituents, collecting the gas, and 95
subjecting it to operations for utilizing the
sulfur content of hydrogen sulfid, substan-
tially as described.
9. The process of utilizing Beaumont or
analogous petroleum, by heating such sul- 100
fur bearing petroleum to .temperatures at
which gas rich in hydrogen sulfid is evolved
therefrom, regulating said heating appro-
priately for obtaining a steady stream of
good volume of non-condensable gas rather 105
than of hydrocarbons condensable as dis-
tillate, removing condensable hydrocarbon
vapors from said gas, collecting the gas,
and subjecting it to operations for utilizing
the sulfur content of said gas, substantially 110
as described.
9. The process of utilizing Beaumont or
analogous petroleum, by heating such sul-
fur bearing petroleum to between 3000 F.
and 5000 F., so as to evolve therefrom a gas 115
rich in hydrogen sulfid and suitably free
from non-condensable hydrocarbons, cooling
the so evolved gas to separate- the condensa-
ble hydrocarbons from the non-condensable
constituents, regulating said heating appro- 120
priately for obtaining a steady stream of
good volume of the gas rather than of the
condensate formed by said cooling, collect-
ing the gas, and subjecting it to operations
for utilizing the sulfur content of hydro- 12
gen sulfid, substantially as described.
10. The process of utilizing Beaumont or
analogous petroleum, by heating such sul-
fur bearing petroleum to gradually increas-
ing temperatures to evolve gas rich in hy- 13
