This study presents a detailed kinetic mechanism conducted by CHEMKIN for the homogeneous decomposition of SO3–H2O vapor in the sulfur–iodine cycle. The kinetic mechanism involving 27 reactions and 11 species was validated by experimental results. The effects of temperature, SO3/H2O ratio,...

A novel thermochemical cycle, which uses alternative energy sources (such as solar, geothermal, and safe nuclear) to dissociate CO2 and H2O, is proposed. The cycle can effectively reduce CO2 emission from the combustion of fossil fuels. The products of the cycle include carbon monoxide, hydrogen...
