176 words
THE METHOD OF PRODUCING CARBON BISULFIDE AND HYDROGEN SULFIDE BY THE REACTION OF SULFUR AND SATURATED HYDROCARBONS, WHICH COMPRISES PASSING SULFUR VAPOR AND HYDROCARBON GAS THROUGH A HEATING FURNACE HEATED TO A TEMPERATURE OF 450* TO 750*C., MAINTAINING A PRESSURE OF 10 ATM. TO 20 ATM. ON THE GASES IN SAID FURNACE AND MAINTAINING SAID GASES IN CONTACT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SUFFICIENT TO CONVERT THE MAJOR PORTION OF THE METHANE IN SAID HYDROCARBON GAS INTO HYDROGEN SULFIDE AND CARBON BISULFIDE, PASSING THE FURNACE EXIT GASES THROUGH A FILTER TO REMOVE SOLIDS FROM THE GAS STREAM, SEPARATING THE UNREACTED SULFUR IN THE LIQUID PHASE FROM THE HYDROGEN SULFIDE AND CARBON BISULFIDE IN THE VAPOR PHASE BY CONDENSATION OF SULFUR FROM THE GAS STREAM AT A PRESSURE BETWEEN 9 AND 19 ATM. AND A TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 120*C. AND SEPARATING THE CARBON BISULFIDE IN THE LIQUID PHASE FROM THE HYDROGEN SULFIDE IN THE VAPOR PHASE BY DISTILLATION AND CONDENSATION AT A PRESSURE BETWEEN ABOUT 9 AND 19 ATM. AND A TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS OF 120*C.
