HYDROGEN SULFIDE CONVERSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18047781 titled 'HYDROGEN SULFIDE CONVERSION
The abstract describes a patent application for a process involving an electrochemical cell that facilitates the electrolysis of hydrogen sulfide to produce sulfur and protons on the anode side, while reducing protons to produce hydrogen on the cathode side. A membrane separates the two sides to prevent the flow of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur while allowing hydrogen cations to pass through.

Original Abstract Submitted
Power is provided to an electrochemical cell. The electrochemical cell includes an anode side and a cathode side. Hydrogen sulfide in a liquid state is flowed to the anode side. Providing power to the electrochemical cell facilitates electrolysis of the hydrogen sulfide to produce sulfur and protons on the anode side. Providing power to the electrochemical cell facilitates reduction of protons to produce hydrogen on the cathode side. A membrane separating the anode side from the cathode side prevents flow of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur from passing through the membrane while allowing hydrogen cations to pass through the membrane. Sulfur is flowed out of the anode side. Hydrogen is flowed out of the cathode side.
