A new waste-treatment process can turn hydrogen sulfide into hydrogen and sulfur, unlike the current method that only gets sulfur. By using microwave or radio-frequency energy, the process breaks down hydrogen sulfide into its components. This method can recover over 99% of sulfur without needing extra clean-up steps. Lab tests show it can convert over 90% of hydrogen sulfide in one go. Impurities from refinery and natural gas acid gases don't cause problems. The process can save a lot of energy and money compared to current technologies, potentially saving billions of dollars in the refining industry.
