ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC MECHANISMS FOR ATTRACTING INVESTMENT IN THE HYDROGEN SULFUR MIXTURE PROCESSING OF THE BLACK SEA

Abstract

The article is devoted to the hydrogen sulfide mixture usage containing in the depths of the Black Sea as a raw material for processing into hydrogen and obtaining sulfur as a by-product. Some prospects and problems of energy resources utilization under the energy crisis in Ukraine have been considered. Hydrogen sulfide mixture reserves have been established as a result of geological exploration and analytical studies; the procedure for its processing into hydrogen has been proposed. The expediency of application of absorption-electrochemical method of hydrogen purification from sulfur has been considered. It can be used as a by-product for the branches of national economy. It was found that long-term operation leads to partial destruction of the electrochemical reactor elements, so the efficiency of existing treatment equipment is reduced compared to the allowable values. It was established that sanitary protection measures for the processing of raw materials do not comply with the State Sanitary Rules for the Protection of Atmospheric Air of Settlements. The economic and mathematical modeling of mass transfer processes in a gas-liquid system taking into account hydrodynamic processes in absorption-electrochemical installations of air purification from hydrogen sulfide has been proposed from the ecological point of view. The ways to intensify scientific research on this and related issues of its economic efficiency have been identified. The economic, ecological and safety factors influencing the hydrogen sulfide processing have been studied. Some measures to develop the appropriate scientific and technical programs and create a favorable investment climate to attract investment for their implementation have been proposed.
