A part of the hydrogen sulphide content of a feed gas stream comprising hydrogen sulphide is burned by a burner 2 that fires into a furnace 4. The combustion is supported by a stream of oxygen or oxygen-enriched air. Resulting sulphur dioxide reacts with residual hydrogen sulphide in the furnace 5 to form sulphur vapour. Sulphur is condensed out of the resulting gas mixture in condenser 10. At least part of the sulphur-free gas mixture flows through a reactor 14 in which its sulphur dioxide content is reduced to hydrogen sulphide. Water vapour is removed from the resulting gas stream in a condenser 16. At least part of the gas stream now essentially free of water vapour is recycled to the furnace 4. A purge stream is taken either from immediately downstream of the sulphur condenser (as shown in Figure 1) or from intermediate the water condenser 16 and the furnace 4, or from the furnace 4 and, if desired, subjected to further treatment to remove sulphur-containing gases therefrom.
