                    Use of various addition agents to Luxmasse for the removal of organic S from a gas containing 30.1 gm. S per 100 m.3 of which 28.4 gm. S is organic was investigated.  The addition of 1 wt. % of ThO2, UO2 or NaOH to Luxmasse had little effect.  The addition of 10% NaOH, Ba(OH)2, ThO2, Cr2O3, Al2O3 or K2CrO4 improved the efficiency and the life of the Luxmasse.  For the greatest efficiency Luxmasse containing 10% NaOH and 10% ThO2 was used.  At 400°, this mixture removed 98.9% of the S.  The addition of Na₂CO₃ was not very promising.
