Combined radiolytic and thermochemical process for generation of hydrogen

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6681679
; ;

A combined radiolytic and thermochemical closed cycle process for production of hydrogen from water is claimed wherein H2S is dissociated at high temperature and pressure by radiation, such energy being sufficient to provide dissociation and additionally to heat the reaction products to about 1100/sup 0/K. Hydrogen is separated from the radiolytic reaction products. The sulfur product is reacted with water in multiple additional thermochemical process steps for which heat of reaction is supplied by the radiolytic reaction products for reconstitution of the H2S working fluid and generation of an oxygen byproduct.
