A PROCESS FOR SUSPENSION ROASTING FINELY-DIVIDED IRON SULFIDE TO OBTAIN CALCINES OF LOW SULFUR CONTENTS WHICH COMPRISES FEEDING THE FINELY-DIVIDED IRON SULFIDE HAVING A PARTICLE SIZE OF LESS THAN ABOUT 20 MESH AND CONTAINING AT LEAST 15% SULFUR INTO A FLUID-BED ROASTING OPERATION TO ESTABLISH A GAS-PERMEABLE BED OF SOLIDS, CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE OR SAID BED BETWEEN ABOUT 1000* F. AND ABOUT 1800* F. WHILE PASSING UPWARDLY THERETHROUGH AN OXIDIZING GAS CONTAINING FREE OXYGEN AT A VOLUME SUFFICIENT TO ROAST SAID SULFIDE AND TO FLUIDIZE SAID BED, SEPARATING FROM THE SOLIDS-CONTAINING EXHAUST GASES THE BULK OF THE SOLIDS ENTRAINED THEREIN, RETURNING THE SEPARATED SOLIDS TO THE FLUID BED IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO AT LEAST ABOUT 5 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF UNROASTED SULFIDE BEING FED TO SAID FLUID-BED ROASTING OPERATION, AND WITHDRAWING A CALCINE PRODUCT OF LOW SULFUR CONTENT.
