Abstract: The advance in catalytic incineration of tail gas from sulfur recovery processing is reviewed based on patents，papers，commercial catalysts and proprietary techniques. The technological and economic parameters of thermal incineration and catalytic incineration are compared. A catalytic incineration system could save fuel consumption effectively，which is more suitable for catalytic incineration of cleaner streams such as SCOT tail gas.

摘要： 从国内外专利、文献、商品催化剂及专有技术等方面介绍了硫回收尾气催化焚烧技术的研究进展，并比较了催化焚烧与热焚烧的技术经济性。结果说明催化焚烧可大幅度降低硫回收尾气焚烧的能耗，尤其适用于SCOT等深度硫回收工艺尾气的焚烧。
