Bunsen Reaction study as a key step of H2S Splitting cycle in Corning Advanced Flow Reactor

Currently, microreaction technology was applied to Bunsen reaction, a key step of H2S splitting cycle, to improve process capability by overcoming mass transfer limitations. This was achieved by using low-flow advanced reactor (LF-AFR) made by Corning Inc., the smallest model, in our research lab at University of Saskatchewan. Compared to normal scale reactors, microreactors provide an increase in surface to volume ratio, fast and reliable process development, lower environmental impact, and increased safety. For the collaborative research it is planned to use Standard Evaluation Reactor (G1-AFR) for which the maximum flow rate of 200 ml/min could be applied. From this work we hope to understand if our current work with Corning’s low-flow reactor can be repeated in a larger flow reactor and the performance of larger scale Corning reactor in some new reaction system. In this way, a deeper understanding of the Bunsen reaction would be obtained in terms of scalability and process design
