Regularities of catalytic reactions of hydrogen, ethane and ethylene with elementary sulfur

Shown is the decisive role of metal-sulfur bond stability for activity determination of metal sulfides (WS2, MoS2, CdS) in interaction reactions of elementary sulfur and hydrogen, ethane and ethylene. Found is the regularity of changing the relative reactiveness of the given substances and a conclusion is made about uniformity of the investigated catalyst processes. The results of hydrogen, ethane and ethylene oxidation by oxygen and sulfur are compared, the semilarity of these processes being pointed out
