Heat transfer characteristics and design aspects of thermolysis reactor in copper-chlorine thermochemical water splitting cycle

Safety Analysis of the Hydrolysis Reactor in the Cu-Cl Thermochemical Hydrogen Production Cycle—Part 1: Methodology and Selected Top Events

“…These materials pose unique challenges for the downstream electrolysis step. Many of the reactors and components need to handle high-temperature highly corrosive solids and fluids, and damage to these systems can pose a major hazard to operators and equipment [11][12][13]. The chemicals involved in the Cu-Cl cycle also pose serious chemical hazards, with chronic illness resulting from repeated exposure [14][15][16].…”
