Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9723687A1] The black liquor (10) from a kraft pulping process is gasified in a fluidized bed reactor (12) in the presence of solid calcium compounds (CaO, CaCO3, Ca(OH)2) which react with the sulfur compounds (H2S, COS) to produce solid CaS. The solid CaS along with the other primary solids (Na2CO3, Na2S) are removed (18) from the reactor (12) and processed to form one or more white liquor streams for recycle to the pulping process. In this processing, the Na2CO3 and Na2S are dissolved (72) to form green liquor and the CaS is reacted (78) with NaOH to form NaHS. The causticizing of the green liquor may be separate from or combined with the conversion of the CaS in the green liquor to form a single white liquor stream (104) or the CaS may be separated from the green liquor and processed entirely separately to form a second high sulfide white liquor stream (174).
