SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN GAS FROM HYDROGEN SULFIDE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17973006 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PRODUCE HYDROGEN GAS FROM HYDROGEN SULFIDE

The disclosure pertains to systems and methods for producing hydrogen (H) gas from hydrogen sulfide (HS). HS is reacted with a catalyst to generate H gas and sulfur that is adsorbed onto the catalyst. The adsorbed sulfur is then treated with oxygen (O) gas to convert it into sulfur dioxide (SO2) and to regenerate the catalyst.

  • Hydrogen gas (H) production from hydrogen sulfide (HS)
  • Catalyst used to facilitate the reaction and adsorb sulfur
  • Treatment of adsorbed sulfur with oxygen (O) gas to form sulfur dioxide (SO2)
  • Regeneration of the catalyst for continuous use
