Can I produce SO₂ gas from H₂S gas without creating sulphur ?

 

I know 2 H₂S + 3 O₂ --> 2 SO₂ + 2 H₂O

 

but it is also true that 2 H₂S + SO₂ → 3 S + 2H₂O 

 

So, how to burn H₂S in a way that sulphur is not created.

 

I will truly be thankful if someone can reply.

If the combustion happens with massive excess oxygen, and is diluted with another gas (say, nitrogen from air), then the sulfur formation reaction isn't favored.

The Complete Combustion of H2S is Highly Exothermic. U can Go for a Substochiometric Combustion just as in Claus Process to Produce So2 From H2s
