HYDROGEN SULFIDE CONVERSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17969448 titled 'HYDROGEN SULFIDE CONVERSION
Simplified Explanation: Power is provided to an electrochemical cell to produce sulfur dioxide on the anode side and hydrogen on the cathode side. A solution containing hydrogen sulfide is flowed to the anode side, while water is flowed to the cathode side.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Production of sulfur dioxide on the anode side
- Production of hydrogen on the cathode side
- Membrane prevents flow of certain substances while allowing others to pass through
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in industrial processes for the production of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for efficient production of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen in electrochemical cells.
Benefits:
- Efficient production of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen
- Controlled flow of substances through the membrane
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include sulfur dioxide production for chemical industries and hydrogen production for fuel cells.
Prior Art: There may be existing patents or technologies related to electrochemical cells for sulfur dioxide and hydrogen production.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in electrochemical cell technology for sulfur dioxide and hydrogen production.
Questions about Electrochemical Cell Technology: 1. How does the membrane in the electrochemical cell prevent certain substances from passing through? 2. What are the specific industrial applications of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen production using this technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
Power is provided to an electrochemical cell. The electrochemical cell includes an anode side and a cathode side. A solution is flowed to the anode side. The solution includes hydrogen sulfide dissolved in water. Water is flowed to the cathode side. The water flowed to the cathode side can be in the form of steam. Providing power to the electrochemical cell facilitates production of sulfur dioxide on the anode side. Providing power to the electrochemical cell facilitates production of hydrogen on the cathode side. A membrane separating the anode side from the cathode side prevents flow of hydrogen sulfide, water, and sulfur dioxide from passing through the membrane while allowing hydrogen cations and oxygen anions to pass through the membrane. Sulfur dioxide is flowed out of the anode side. Hydrogen is flowed out of the cathode side.
