A Multi-Objective Optimization and Sustainability of H2S Conversion into Sulfur by Claus Process using Symmetry Simulation

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an extremely toxic acid gas and is regarded as one of the primary sources of corrosion and odor problems. The work proposed the Claus process, considering the economic, environmental, and safety requirements are the three pillars of sustainability. The proposed Claus proces...

The work proposed the Claus process, considering the economic, environmental, and safety requirements are the three pillars of sustainability. The proposed Claus process annual benefit, global warming potential (GWP), fire explosion damage index (FEDI), and toxicity damage index (TDI) were estimated utilizing techno-economic analysis, life-cycle assessment, and hazard identification rating techniques.
