China has recently achieved a breakthrough in hydrogen sulfide treatment, providing a new solution for a more sustainable chemical industry.

Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic compound commonly produced as a byproduct of natural gas extraction, refining, and coal chemical production. The complete removal of hydrogen sulfide and its resource utilization have long posed a challenge for the chemical industry.

Chinese scientists have explored photolysis and electrochemical methods to decompose hydrogen sulfide, addressing the scaling issue associated with large-scale hydrogen sulfide decomposition engineering.
