A simulation of claus process via aspen HYSYS for sulfur recovery by Nabgan, W., Abdullah, T. A. T., Nabgan, B., Ripin, A., Kidam, K. B., Saeh, I., Moghadamian, K.

“…The particular reaction for sulfur removal from sour gas is hydrogen sulfide (H2S) sulfur dioxide (SO2) reformation (2H2S+O2=S2+2H2O). The aim of this study is to get a simulation that is suitable for the characterization of sulfur recovery units. …”

Smell index for indoor air quality system based on multilayer perceptron (MLP) by Saad, S. M., Shakaff, A. Y. M., Hussein, M., Mohamad, M., Dzahir, M. A. M., Ahmad, Z.

“…However, most of the IAQ indices presented by previous researchers in their works is calculated based on single pollutatant parameter only like carbon monoxide (CO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). Since smell is also part of indoor air contaminants, thus it is important to calculated the IAQ indices based on an array of pollutant parameters. …”
