Possibility for Effective Production of Hydrogen from Hydrogen Sulfide by means of a Porous Vycor Glass Membrane

Abstract

The possibility of using a porous Vycor-type glass membrane was examined for the production of hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide. The porous Vycor-type glass tubing could be used up to 800 ° as a membrane for separating hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide. When this membrane was applied to the direct decomposition of hydrogen sulfide, the yield of hydrogen increased about two times the equilibrium yield calculated for the process without hydrogen removal. © 1981, American Chemical Society.
