Experimental studies of the high temperature gas-solid-reaction system MgO + Cl/sub 2/. -->. MgCl/sub 2/ + O/sub 2/

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7031913
The weight monitoring method was used to study the noncatalytic solid-gas reaction MgO + Cl/sub 2/ ..-->.. MgCl/sub 2/ + /sup 1///sub 2/O/sub 2/, which can be used in thermochemical hydrogen production. Eight runs were attempted at 650/sup 0/C and 5 in./s chlorine flow rate; the MgO was in the form of porous pellets. The chlorination proceeded rapidly initially, then slowed down at low conversions (approximately 15%). 5 figs. (DLC)
