ROA Supplement: Electrochemical Studies of Hydrogen Sulfide

弗莱彻和斯米尔教授提出了一个有组织的研究， 电解硫化氢的可能性H2S（工业 废物）以产生氢和硫。 目前没有 存在关于使用H2的电解系统的信息 作为溶质或溶剂。 具体而言，他们打算：（1） 建立反应的化学计量，（2）研究 传质限制的影响，（3）运行系统， 大气压力最初（但知道他们可能有 改变这一点，并在升高的压力下运行），（4）看看 每个电极的动力学和欧姆限制，以及（5） 研究了电极材料在电解过程中的作用 反应。 这一进程如果成功， 有害废物的商业利用， 化学品（S2）和作为燃料源（H2）。 私人侦探们非常有资格做研究， 明尼苏达大学的设施非常好。 A 2- 一年的探索工作建议在73,718美元的财政86 79，648美元，87年财政年度的基金。

Professors Fletcher and Smyrl propose an organized study of the possibilities of electrolysing hydrogen sulfide H2S (industrial waste) to produce hydrogen and sulfur. At the present time no information exists on electrolytic systems in which H2 is used either as a solute or a solvent. They paln to specifically: (1) establish the stoichiometry of the reactions, (2) study the effects of mass transfer limitations, (3) run the system at atmospheric pressure initially (but are aware that they may have to alter this and run it at elevated pressures), (4) look at kinetic and ohmic limitations at each electrode, and (5) investigate the effects of electrode materials in electrolysing the reactions. The process, if successful could result in the commercial utilization of a noxious waste as a source of a chemical (S2) and as a fuel source (H2). The PIs are eminently qualified to do the research and the facilities at the University of Minnesota are very good. A 2- year exploratory effort is recommended at $73,718 out of FY 86 funds and $79,648 out of FY 87 funds.
