PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN AND SULFUR FROM HYDROGEN SULFIDE

摘要

A novel process for producing hydrogen and sulfur via the thermal decomposition of hydrogen sulfide is disclosed. The thermal decomposition of hydrogen sulfide is accomplished by passing a hydrogen sulfide containing gas through a reaction chamber containing a refractory material that has been preheated to a temperature between about 982.degree.C and about 1816.degree.C so that a gas stream comprising hydrogen, sulfur and hydrogen sulfide is produced.
