| Popis: | This paper presents recent advances by an international team of five countries – Canada, U.S., China, Slovenia and Romania – on the development and scale-up of the copper–chlorine (Cu Cl) cycle for thermochemical hydrogen production using nuclear or solar energy. Electrochemical cell analysis and membrane characterization for the CuCl/HCl electrolysis process are presented. Constituent solubility in the ternary CuCl/HCl/H 2 O system and XRD measurements are reported in regards to the CuCl 2 crystallization process. Materials corrosion in high temperature copper chloride salts and performance of coatings of reactor surface alloys are examined. Finally, system integration is examined, with respect to scale-up of unit operations, cascaded heat pumps for heat upgrading, and linkage of heat exchangers with solar and nuclear plants. |
