Popis: Production of hydrogen during pyrolysis and partial oxidation of hydrogen sulphide is analyzed on the basis of a detailed kinetic model of H2S oxidation. It is shown that the H2 yield in the case of H2S pyrolysis in an adiabatic flow reactor with a residence time of ≈1 s is rather small. Even for the initial temperature of the mixture T0 = 1400 K, the molar fraction of H2 is only 12%, though the equilibrium value is reached within the reactor in this case. At T0 φb and low values of T0 is essentially nonequilibrium; as a result, the H2 concentration at the exit from a finite-length reactor can be higher than its equilibrium value, e.g., the relative yield of H2 can exceed the equilibrium value by 30–40% at T0 = 800 K and φ = 6–10. The reasons responsible for reaching a “superequilibrium” concentration of H2 at the flow reactor exit are determined.
