Book excerpt: A summary of the progress of the overall total development effort of the General Atomic (GA) sulfur-iodine thermochemical water-splitting cycle over the last two years is reported. The major accomplishments have been the following: (1) Significant improvements in the chemistry of the process. (2) Development, review, and revision of an engineering flowsheet, resulting in a thermal process efficiency of 47%. (3) Screening, identification, and testing of potential materials-of-construction for the corrosive process fluids. (4) Small-scale demonstration of the cycle in a closed loop under recycle conditions. (5) Installation of bench-scale equipment and demonstration of parts of the process in this system. (6) Development of a conceptual, preliminary flowsheet for the GA sulfur-iodine cycle driven by solar energy. The results of the work carried out during the last two years have demonstrated that thermochemical water splitting by the sulfur-iodine cycle is a feasible process and have provided confidence that thermal efficiencies in the range of 50% are achievable.
