HC Deb 19 December 1967 vol 756 c365W
85. Mr. Eadie

asked the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made towards having indigenous supplies of sulphur.

Mr. Darling:

Sulphur in the form of ammonium sulphate and other by-products is already recovered from gas works and coke oven plants. The Central Electricity Generating Board have been following a promising line of research into the recovery of sulphur from flue gases and are considering the building of a pilot plant in a power station in the North East to carry out full scale tests.
