Claim 0:
1. A device for hydrogen sulfide plasma dissociation, comprising:
a plasma chemical reactor including an arc plasma generator that has a cathode and an anode;
the anode having a working surface for contacting hydrogen sulfide plasma, wherein the working surface is made from a material that includes stainless steel, tungsten or molybdenum;
the cathode having a tip for arc attachment where a cathode spot is formed, wherein the cathode tip is made from pure tungsten, pure molybdenum, a tungsten or molybdenum alloy with tungsten or molybdenum as a major component or a composite material in which tungsten or molybdenum is the major component; and
a flow path configured to have an inlet in a proximal portion of the device for gaseous hydrogen sulfide for dissociation in plasma into hydrogen and sulfur, and an outlet in a distal portion of the device, for products of hydrogen sulfide plasma dissociation;
the cathode having a tip holder extending proximally of the tip, wherein the tip holder first widens, and then narrows,
wherein the working surface of the anode encloses the cathode and extends proximally at least as far as the narrowing part of the tip holder,
wherein the proximal portion is made from the same material as the tip; and
an electrically conductive channel between the cathode and the anode, wherein the channel is formed by hydrogen sulfide plasma.
