This study was performed to develop a low Pt content catalyst as a catalyst for HI decomposition in S-I process. Bimetallic catalysts added various amounts of Pt on a silica supported Ni catalyst were prepared by impregnation method. HI decomposition was carried out using a fixed bed reactor. As a result, Ni-Pt bimetallic catalyst showed enhanced catalytic activity compared with each monometallic catalyst. Deactivation of Ni-Pt catalyst was not observed while deactivation of Ni monometallic catalyst was rapidly occurred in HI decomposition. The HI conversion of Ni-Pt bimetallic catalyst was increased similar to Pt catalyst with increase of the reaction temperature over a temperature range 573K to 773K. From the TG analysis, it was shown that $NiI_2$ remained on the Ni(5.0)-Pt(0.5)/$SiO_2$ catalyst after the HI decomposition reaction was decomposed below 700K. It seems that small amount of Pt in bimetallic catalyst increase the decomposition of $NiI_2$ generated after the decomposition of HI. Consequently, it was considered that the activity of Ni-Pt bimetallic catalyst was kept during the HI decomposition reaction.

An experimental study on Electro-electrodialysis (EED) for IS (Iodine-Sulfur) process which is well known as hydrogen production system was carried out for the HI concentration from HIx (HI: $H_2O$ : $I_2$ = 1 : 5 : 1) solution. The polymer electrolyte membrane and the activated carbon cloth were adopted as a cation exchange membrane and electrode, respectively. In order to evaluate the temperature effect about HI concentration in fixed molar ratio, three case of temperature were selected to $60^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$ and $120^{\circ}C$. The electro-osmosis coefficient and transport number of proton have been changed from 1.95 to 1.21 (mol/Faraday) and 0.91 to 0.76, respectively as temperature increase from $60^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$. It can be realized that the HI mole fraction in final stage of EED experiments already over the quasi-azeotrope composition.

The feasibility of ionic liquid as a novel absorbent of $SO_2$ for the separation of $SO_2$ from $SO_2/O_2$ mixture in the thermochemical IS(Iodine-Sulfur) cycle was investigated. 1,3-dimethylimidazolium methylsulfate ([DMIm]$MeSO_4$) had shown twenty five times higher solubility of $SO_2$ than that of $O_2$. The dependence of $SO_2$ solubility by [DMIm]$MeSO_4$ on temperature and $SO_2$ partial pressure was examined, which confirmed the possibility of temperature and pressure swing for the separation process. Through cyclic absorption and desorption with temperature swing the stability of [DMIm]$MeSO_4$ in the separation process was also demonstrated. As a result of the experiments carried out, $SO_2$ separation from $SO_2/O_2$ mixture with ionic liquid([DMIm]$MeSO_4$) can be applied to the thermochemical IS cycle.

HI decomposition reaction requires a catalyst for the efficient production of hydrogen as a key reaction for hydrogen production in sulfur-iodine thermochemical water-splitting (SI) cycle. As a catalyst used in the reaction, the performance of platinum catalyst is excellent. While, the platinum catalyst is not economical. Therefore, studies of a nickel catalyst that could replace platinum have been carried out. In this study, the characteristics of the catalytic HI decomposition on the amount of loaded nickel (Ni = 0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10 wt%) were investigated. As the supported Ni amount increased up to 3 wt%, HI decomposition was found to increase in linear proportion. However, the conversion of $Ni/Al_2O_3$ catalyst loaded above 3 wt% was not linear. It was thought that the different HI decomposition characteristics was caused in the size and metal dispersion of Ni particles of catalyst. The physical property of catalyst before and after HI decomposition reaction was characterized by BET, chemisorption, XRD and SEM analysis.

Sulfur-Iodine (SI) cycle, which thermochemically splits water to hydrogen and oxygen through three stages of Bunsen reaction, HI decomposition, and $H_2SO_4$ decomposition, seems a promising process to produce hydrogen massively. Among them, the decomposition of $H_2SO_4$ ($H_2SO_4=H_2O+SO_2+1/2O_2$) requires high temperature heat over $800^{\circ}C$ such as the heat from concentrated solar energy or a very high temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor. Because of harsh reaction conditions of high temperature and pressure with extremely corrosive reactants and products, there have been scarce and limited number of data reported on the pressurized $H_2SO_4$ decomposition. This work focuses whether the $H_2SO_4$ decomposition can occur at high pressure in a noble-metal reactor, which possibly resists corrosive acidic chemicals and possesses catalytic activity for the reaction. Decomposition reactions were conducted in a Pt-lined tubular reactor without any other catalytic species at conditions of $800^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ and 0 bar (ambient pressure) to 10 bar with 95 wt% $H_2SO_4$. The Pt-lined reactor was found to endure the corrosive pressurized condition, and its inner surface successfully carried out a catalytic role in decomposing $H_2SO_4$ to $SO_2$ and $O_2$. This preliminary result has proposed the availability of noble metal-lined reactors for the high temperature, high pressure sulfuric acid decomposition.

초고온가스로에서 생성된 $950^{\circ}C$ 정도의 초고온 열을 이용하여 수소를 경제적이며 또한 대량으로 생산하기 위한 시스템이 원자력수소생산시스템이며, 공정열교환기는 초고온 열과 황-요오드 공정을 통해 수소를 생산하는 원자력수소생산시스템에서의 핵심 기기이다. 한국원자력연구원에서는 초고온가스로에 사용될 기기에 대한 성능시험을 위해 최대 작동 설계온도 $1000^{\circ}C$인 헬륨가스루프를 구축하고 있으며 공정열교환기를 설계하였다. 본 연구에서는 구축중인 헬륨가스루프에서 성능시험을 수행할 예정으로 설계된 공정열교환기에 대한 고온 구조건전성을 미리 평가하기 위한 작업의 일환으로 고온구조해석 모델링, 열해석 및 열팽창 해석을 수행한 결과를 정리한 것이다. 해석결과를 이용하여 설계된 공정열교환기의 구조건전성을 유지하기 위한 1 차 및 2 차 열매체의 유입/유출 파이프라인에서의 적절한 구속조건을 결정하였으며 이를 향후 제작될 공정열교환기 시제품의 성능시험 장치 설계에 반영할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 SI 공정 시스템에서 헬륨 가열 장치에 대한 설계와 건조 데이터 확보를 위한 파이롯 규모의 헬륨 가열 장치 시스템에 대한 예비 설계 및 해석을 수행하였다. 헬륨 가열기는 LPG연소로를 활용하도록 설계하였고, 열유동 해석을 수행한 결과, 열교환기 출구측에서 LPG 연소가스의 유속이 약 40 m/s가 되었다. 최대온도는 6개의 베플이 설치된 경우가 4개의 베플이 설치된 경우보다 높게 나타나며, 이는 6개의 베플일 때 연소가스에서 헬륨가스로의 열전달이 좋아질 것임을 의미한다. 더불어, 베플수가 많아지면 LPG 연소가스의 유량을 감소시킬 수 있어 연료비용을 저감할 수도 있음을 의미한다. 다만, 베플수를 무한정 증가시키면 입출구의 압력차가 증가되기 때문에 최적의 베플수 선정이 중요하다. 열유동 해석에 이어 수행한 구조해석에서는 헬륨의 유량을 3.729 mol/s, 출구 온도를 $910^{\circ}C$로 유지할 경우 관의 양 끝단에서 지지하는 경우 중간부분의 팽창률이 3.86 mm임을 확인하였다. LPG 연소로 헬륨 가열시스템에서 shell & tube type의 열교환기를 적용하여 $135^{\circ}C$의 헬륨이 $910^{\circ}C$로 가열하여 유출하기 위해서 약 $1300^{\circ}C$의 연소가스 온도 및 52 g/s의 연소가스 유량이 확보되어야 함을 확인하였다.
