Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:18.84(Chemistry, Physical)The thermochemical water-splitting iodine-sulfur (IS) process enables producing hydrogen. In a previous operation procedure, after the components of the unit operations were individually started, they were connected at the same time. However, it was challenging to stably interconnect the components. This study introduces a new loop operation, subdividing the process configuration into four sections before transferring the continuous operation. The proposed loop operation was validated analyzing the material and heat balances of each section. The calculated results showed that the material balances of respective loop sections were closed. The loop operation mode would transfer to the continuous operation by connect all sections. Regarding the switching of operation modes, the material and heat balance showed no or little difference, indicating that two operation modes could only be changed by switching the pipelines. Consequently, the loop sections could be individually operated to stabilize the IS process system, and the loop operation could be smoothly transferred to the continuous operation.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:46.17(Chemistry, Physical)An iodine-sulfur process offers the potential for mass producing hydrogen with high-efficiency, and it uses high-temperature heat sources, including HTGR, solar heat, and waste heat of industries. R&D tasks are essential to confirm the integrity of the components that are made of industrial materials and the stability of hydrogen production in harsh working conditions. A test facility for producing hydrogen was constructed from corrosion-resistant components made of industrial materials. For stable hydrogen production, technical issues for instrumental improvements (i.e., stable pumping of the HIx solution, improving the quality control of glass-lined steel, prevention of I precipitation using a water removal technique in a Bunsen reactor) were solved. The entire process was successfully operated for 150 h at the rate of 30 L/h. The integrity of components and the operational stability of the hydrogen production facility in harsh working conditions were demonstrated.

Times Cited Count:19 Percentile:53.81(Chemistry, Physical)The catalytic decomposition of hydrogen iodide in a membrane reactor using silica membranes derived from hexyltrimethoxysilane (HTMOS) was investigated for the production of hydrogen in the thermochemical water splitting iodine-sulfur process. The silica membranes were prepared by counter-diffusion chemical vapor deposition using porous alumina support tubes in both the absence and presence of a -alumina layer. The silica membranes formed on
-alumina-coated
-alumina tubes displayed a higher H
permeance than that formed directly on an
-alumina tube. A silica membrane based on a 1.5
m-thick
-alumina layer fabricated under deposition conditions of 450
C, 1200 s, and a N
carrier gas velocity of 0.044 m s
exhibited a high H

while maintaining an H

In this study, we have developed a highly hydrogen permeable silica membrane derived from hexyltrimethoxysilane as a Si precursor using porous alumina support. Modification of alumina support tubes in the absence of and in the presence of -alumina coating was carried out by a counter diffusion chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A membrane with intermediate
-alumina layer showed higher H
permeance (7.7
10
mol m
s
Pa
) than that formed directly on the
-alumina tube (3.8
10
mol m

Pa
). It was found that the thickness of
-alumina layer played an important role in the improvement of membrane permeation performance. Modified membrane based on
-alumina coating with a thickness of 1.5
m exhibited H
/SF

C, while maintaining H
permeance in the order of 10

The thermal decomposition of hydrogen iodide (HI) to produce hydrogen in a membrane reactor was investigated using the separation characteristics of a silica membrane with the aim of improving the one-pass decomposition rate of HI decomposition reaction in the thermochemical IS process. The silica membranes were prepared by a counter diffusion chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of hexyltrimethoxysilane (HTMOS) using alumina porous support. The membrane reactor phenomenon was evaluated using determined H production rate from HI decomposition at 400
C. It was found from experiments that produced H
rate was approximately 1.5 mL min
in permeated site. Hydrogen was successfully produced and extracted from the HI decomposition membrane reactor with a utilization of the HTMOS silica membrane. The HTMOS silica membrane was effective for the HI decomposition at higher reaction temperature of 400
C in the membrane reactor.

The research and development program of the IS process using the membrane technology and solar heat is now on progress aiming at improvement of the hydrogen production efficiency up to 40%. In the HSO
decomposition reaction process, oxygen production process, the decomposition rate of sulphur trioxide (SO
) is expected more than 80% at the reaction temperature of 800 - 900
C. On the other hand, the decomposition rate of SO
decreases to around 30% in the reaction temperature of 600
C which temperature will be provided by solar heat, ceramic oxygen permselective membrane and catalyst have been developing to promote SO
decomposition in the reaction temperature of 600
C. In addition, the ceramic hydrogen permselective membrane and catalyst to promote HI decomposition for hydrogen production, the cation-exchange membrane and catalyst to reduce amount of iodine in the HI circulation process. Also, the corrosion-resistance material to use metal components in the H
SO

A thermochemical water-splitting iodine-sulfur process offers the potential for the mass production of hydrogen at high levels of efficiency. This chemical process uses high-temperature heat sources such as the high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, solar heat, and waste heat. Raw materials of HO splits into H
and O
with combining three chemical reactions using sulfur and iodine compounds. Currently important R&D tasks are to verify integrity of components made of practical-structural materials and stability of hydrogen production operation in the harsh working conditions, and to develop methods for high thermal efficiency. A test facility of hydrogen production was constructed applying corrosion-resistant components developed using industrial materials. The entire process connecting the three process chemical sections was operated in hydrogen production for 31 hours at rate of 20 L / h. Through the operations, technical issues were obtained that prevention of clogging and leakage are important for next longer operation. For improvement of thermal efficiency, membrane technologies have been devised for HI decomposition section, H
SO
decomposition section, and Bunsen reaction section. Permselective membranes (H
, O
) and a cation exchange membrane were developed to adopt to membrane reactors which work to increase chemical equilibrium and to reduce processing energy of chemical reactions.
