Abstract

A hybrid thermochemical electrolytic process for hydrogen production based on the reverse Deacon Reaction was presented. From preliminary efficiency estimates and proof of principle experiments, the Reverse Deacon Cycle was a promising route to low temperature hydrogen production. The estimated energy savings for this process relative to water electrolysis was ∼ 20%, largely due to the relatively favorable thermodynamics of anhydrous HCl electrolysis. Preliminary experimental results indicated that using a silicalite-supported catalyst for the Reverse Deacon reaction had the potential of promoting fast reaction kinetics and long-term stability of the solids. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 3rd Topical Conference on Fuel Cell Technology at the 2004 AIChE National Spring Meeting (New Orleans, LA, 4/25-29/2004).
