Abstract
A system includes a first chamber, a second chamber, an ultraviolet light source and a microwave source. The first chamber includes an inlet. The second chamber is adjacent the first chamber and includes an outlet and a waveguide. The ultraviolet light source resides within the waveguide of the second chamber. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
Claims25
A system comprising:
- a first chamber including an inlet that allows an input feed to enter the first chamber, the input feed comprised essentially of hydrogen sulfide;
- a microwave source configured to radiate microwave energy into at least the first chamber;
- a second chamber in communication with the first chamber, the second chamber including an outlet and a waveguide;
- and
- an ultraviolet light source residing within the waveguide of the second chamber, the ultraviolet light source being configured to emit ultraviolet light to at least partially breakdown the hydrogen sulfide into hydrogen gas and elemental sulfur as the hydrogen sulfide flows through the second chamber.

- a microwave source configured to radiate microwave energy into at least the first chamber;
- a second chamber in communication with the first chamber, the second chamber including an outlet and a waveguide, the waveguide extending from a first end to a second end, wherein at least one of the first end or the second end is configured such that the microwave energy forms a standing wave within at least one of the waveguide or the second chamber;
- and
- an ultraviolet light source residing within the waveguide of the second chamber.
