Abstract

A high-temperature ozonizer device has been developed to stud v the conversion of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) into elemental sulfur and hydrogen. To allow for continuous operation, the process must be carried out at temperatures high enough to remove the sulfur in the liquid (=156°C) or in the vapor state (>435°C). A double quartz wall ozonizer which tolerates the high electrical and chemical requirements was constructed. Its electrical characteristics in the temperature range of 130–560°C and the influence of experimental parameters on conversion and energetic elficiency are described.
