The major accomplishments of the DOE funded part of the GA thermochemical water-splitting program are reported. They include: completion of installation of all bench-scale equipment; operation and preliminary data acquisition for bench-scale subunits I and II; design, installation and operation of a system for iodine removal from the low phase; review and modification of Section III of the engineering flowsheet resulting in an increase in process efficiency and decrease in capital cost; and completion of the Funk panel reivew. The results of the experimental work have demonstrated that flowsheet conditions can be achieved in all cases tested. Continued work on the flowsheet has increased our confidence in the economic viability of the sulfur-iodine process.
