Abstract

See full text

A process for the production of hydrogen by thermal energy based on a closed metal-chloride material cycle, where in the hydrogen release segment the metal is oxidized with hydrochloric acid at room temperature and in the regeneration segment the metal ions are reduced by heat treatment. This is a closed-cycle technological material flow, carried out by use of thermal energy and enables the production of hydrogen at room temperature on the basis of a solid energy carrier represented by metals. The process includes three main technological segments: an oxidation segment in which oxidation of a hydrogen-releasing metal is performed, a regeneration segment in which metal ions are reduced for metal regeneration, and a gaseous HCl capture segment in which gaseous HCl is dissolved in water. The material cycle is closed; there are no emissions or waste. Only water enters the process while hydrogen and oxygen exit.
