Abstract
The process of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, dissociation was studied in a non-equilibrium gliding arc "tornado" (GAT) plasma discharge. Utilizing GAT ensured uniform H2S gas treatment in the reactor. in addition, it created a low temperature zone near the cylindrical wall of the reactor, while maintaining a high temperature zone near the reactor axis. An energy cost of 1.2 eV per H-2 molecule was achieved in this plasma system at atmospheric pressure. These results are particularly important for the oil industry, which consumes large amounts of hydrogen in oil hydro-treatment, and for gas industry because of the high H2S content in "sour" gas.
