THERMOCHEMICAL HYDROGEN PRODUCTION BY THE MAGNESIUM-SULFUR-IODINE CYCLE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1982.81

A new thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production is presented.It consists of (i) redox reaction of sulfur dioxide and iodine with magnesium oxide in an aquenous solution, (ii) hydrolysis of magnesium iodide, (iii) thermal decomposition of magnesium sulfate and (iv) thermal dissociation of hydrogen iodide.Key reaction (i) and (ii) were experimentally verified.
