Abstract :
In this paper new method of H2S dissociation was being developed in non-equilibrium gliding arc tornado discharge reactor (GAT) which utilizes a gliding arc plasma discharge in reverse vortex flow. The GAT, in combination with a centrifugal effect, allows sulfur extraction from the high temperature zone to the low temperature zone. As a result, sulfur quenching can occur within the reactor.
