Resumen: The effect of the H2S presence on the formation of six different sulphurated polycyclic hydrocarbons (S-PAH), during the pyrolysis of ethylene-H2S mixtures, has been studied in a tubular flow reactor installation. Experiments with different inlet H2S concentrations (0.3, 0.5 and 1%) and temperatures of reaction (between 1075 and 1475 K) have been carried out. The 16 compounds that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated as EPA-PAH priority pollutants were also analysed. EPA-PAH compounds were the majority of quantified PAH, and also S-PAH were found and quantified. For temperatures studied, the S-PAH/EPA-PAH ratio values showed a maximum value at 1075 K and a minimum value at 1175 K. With respect to the effect of the inlet concentration of H2S, the S-PAH/EPA-PAH ratio values increased with the increase of the H2S concentration.
