Abstract:
1. Fission reactor for a Claus plant, comprising a boiler ( 9 ) lined with refractory material, which comprises a combustion chamber ( 2 ) having an inflow opening ( 12 ) for a mixture of heating gas, air and acid gas containing H 2 S, a catalyst chamber ( 10 ) having a catalyst bed ( 3 ) of a loose catalyst bulk material, and an outflow-side chamber ( 11 ) having a gas outlet ( 13 ) for hot process gas containing elemental sulfur, wherein the boiler ( 9 ) is configured as a horizontal cylindrical boiler, in which the combustion chamber ( 2 ), the catalyst chamber ( 10 ), and the outflow-side chamber ( 11 ) are disposed next to one another, and wherein the catalyst chamber ( 10 ) is delimited, on both sides, in the flow direction, by a plurality of gas-permeable checker bricks ( 14 ) containing elongated holes, and has a mantle-side fill opening ( 15 ) disposed between the gas-permeable checker bricks ( 14 ) for introducing the catalyst bed ( 3 ).
