Abstract

This paper describes recent progress in studies of the Iodine-Sulphur (IS) process for thermochemical hydrogen production being performed in JAERI. A total of about 20 liters of hydrogen were produced during six cycles of operation of a bench scale apparatus for the IS process. The three key conditions,

  1. the relation between density and X(H2O) under two-phase separation of HIx(aq) and H2SO4(aq),
  2. the maximum amount of SO2 absorbable in the Bunsen reaction and
  3. the removal of H2SO4 dissolved in HIx(aq),
are clarified.
