Resumen

Extraction of basic metals from sulfides by conventional pyrometallurgical processing leads to the emission of SO₂. To avoid this inconvenient, low temperature selective chlorination of sulfide concentrates could be an alternative. However, such process generates hazardous chlorides S_xCl_y. A part of sulfur chlorides such as SCl₂ can be recycled as a chlorinating agent of metal sulfides. Hydrolysis of sulfur chlorides, using a solution containing Na₂S.9H₂O, led to the recovery of more than 90 pct of elemental sulfur. Reduction of S_xCl_y by hydrogen was investigated between 300 °C and 800 °C. About 70 and 90 pct of elemental sulfur were recovered from SCl₂ and S₂Cl₂, respectively. A flow sheet for the chlorination of metal sulfides and the treatment of sulfur chlorides was suggested.
