Plasma-chemical dissociation of hydrogen sulfide

Abstract

This article summarizes the existing achievements for hydrogen and elemental sulfur production by plasma-chemical dissociation of hydrogen sulfide. Because of the fact that oil and natural gas will soon end, development of environmentally clean hydrogen-based energetic is especially actual. Also possibility of obtaining the elementally pure sulfur, which is used in the wide range of industries from construction to agriculture, looks attractive. During the industrial test a reactor was designed and the parameters, that allow to proceed the hydrogen sulfide dissociation with minimal energy consumption and acceptable yields of the final products, were found.
