Researchers have found a novel chemical approach to convert a toxic, stinky gas into clean-burning fuel.This method is used to transformhydrogen sulfide into hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen sulfide is discharged from manure and sewerage pipes and is utilized in several industrial activities such as purifying oil and gas, mining, and paper production.Hydrogen sulfide is hazardous for people, highly toxic, andhave a nasty smell like rotten eggs.
The method demonstrated in this study consumes less energy and uses a low-costraw material. Lang Qin, the co-author of this research,said that owing to the toxicity of gas, several scientists thought of converting hydrogen sulfide into something that is not so toxic and alternatively useful. Later, a team of researchers discovered the SULGEN method, through which hydrogen sulfide could be transformed into hydrogen. The scientists found that iron sulfide, which was considered a suitable raw material, would not be used at the commercial level. While recognizing the low-cost and appropriate chemical for the reaction catalysis, the researchers added a certain amount of molybdenum in iron sulfide to increase the rate of reaction.
The researchers stated that the material is easily accessible as well as an attractive choice for conducting large-scale operations. Moreover, the final product is a sustainable source of energy-releasing zero carbon in the environment. In the latest study, the scientists realized that molybdenum improves the separation of hydrogen sulfide, by efficiently splitting the molecule into sulfur and hydrogen fuel. At present, the approach works accurately at an in vitro phase and now the researchers’ team is expecting to validate this gas production method at an industrial level.
Qin said that the chemical looping method would not only resolve the global issue of toxic gas emissionsbut alsohelp to producevalue-added hydrogen fuel.
