On the possibility of the utilization of hydrogen sulfide from the Black Sea

Abstract

natural environment. Especially harmful is the release of carbon dioxide and sulfur oxides during the exploitation of these resources. A significant energy raw material potential of non-traditional resources lies in the waters and bot - tom of the Black Sea, which is a natural geobiotechnological reactor, capable of producing a variety of energy raw resources. This paper discusses the use of hydrogen sulfide available in the Black Sea waters to produce energy and useful industrial products and proposes the respective. The technology also has an ecological effect in terms of the purification of the hydrogen sulfide pool. The paper also discusses some technologies for the separation of hydrogen sulfide to hydrogen and sulfur. An estimation of the heat value of hydrogen sulfide in the water of the Black Sea is also presented.
