Typically, such catalysts do promote the reaction ‘of hhydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide (the “Claus” reaction) andor the hydrolysis of carbou-sulphur com Pounds. The invention also provides methods and reactors ‘comprising said catalysts BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION Sulphur dioxide is a typical by-product of industrial processes such asthe smelting of sulphide ores or burning of sulphur contsiaing fuels. If vented tothe atmosphere with- ‘out treatment, it can cause environmental problems such as eid rain, ‘The tatment of sulphur dioxide by thermal reduction to sulphur using methane, or a gas containing predominantly methane, such as natural gas, is known, However, in prac~ tice such dhermal eduction processes sufler from either soot formation or the need to ad steam to the reaction mixture to avoid soot formation. In both seenarios, particularly the second, fuel consumption is high UK 12137600 discloses a process for producing sulpior fiom sulphur dioxide using thermal redvetion with natural as which has been successflly demonstrated on an indus- teal scale unit This process operates with high sulphur recovery eli
