METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HYDROGEN WITH THERMOCHEMICAL CYCLE OF GERMANIUM OXIDES CAPABLE OF OFFERING LOWER-TEMPERATURE REACTION EFFECTS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing hydrogen with thermochemical cycle of germanium oxides is provided to prevent degradation of property of germanium oxides by a thermochemistry cycle, and to increase hydrogen manufacturing efficiency.;CONSTITUTION: A method for manufacturing hydrogen with a thermochemical cycle of germanium oxides produces hydrogen through the thermochemical cycle in an equation 1 and an equation 2. The equation 1 is GeO2 → GeO + 1/2O2. The equation 2 is GeO + H2O(g) → GeO2 + H2. The equation 1 is performed under the pressure of 1 atm - 0.001 atm in a temperature of 1000°C - 1700°C. The equation 2 is performed in a temperature of 200°C -800°C.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2010
