Abstract
In a process for the production of methyl mercaptan by heating a gas comprising carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and hydrogen in contact with a catalyst based upon a heavy metal sulphide, with recycling of the gas fraction which has not reacted, the gas to be recycled has removed from it water which it contains following the reaction in contact with the catalyst.
