Reaction and Separations for Thermochemical Cycles


Description:
This session focuses on recent developments that advance hydrogen production by novel water splitting processes that reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The primary area for this session will be thermochemical cycles but the session will focus specifically on reaction and separation process, including reactive distillation, that are either necessary for reactions within the cycles or that improve efficiency or operability of the cycles. Contributions related to all thermochemical cycles as well as other water-splitting methods, including photoelectrochemical, and photobiological are encouraged.
