Thermochemical water splitting cycle using Iron-Copper-Chlorine families is rather promising cycle than other cycles that have been studied in the past.
This cycle is composed of five reactions and two of them are liquid phase reac-tions which result in a low temperature and mitigation of corrosion problem.
These reactions are hydrolysis of FeCl
2, aqueous chlorination of Fe
3O
4, aqueous reduction of FeCl
3, thermal decomposition of CuCl
2, and reverse Deacon reaction.
It is comfirmed experimentally that all reactions proceed satisfactorily.
Based on the results of experiments, the process flow sheet was made and mass and heat balanse were calculated. And obtained themal efficiency was about 30%. From this value, this cycle is supposed to be feasible.
