Abstract

Thermo-chemical water spitting with a copper-chloride (Cu-Cl) cycle is a promising process that could be linked with nuclear reactor to decomposed water into its constituents. Oxygen and hydrogen through intermediate copper and chlorine compound hydrogen is used for that heat generation and oxygen are beneficial for the environment. It specially focuses on simulation, thermochemical data, advanced materials safety reliability and economics of the cu-cl cycle. Aspen plus simulations of various system configurations are performed to improve the cycle efficiency. In addition, simulations based on exergo-economic and exergy-cost-mass (EXCEM) methods for system design are presented. Modelling of the linkage between nuclear and hydrogen plants demonstrates how the Cu-Cl cycle would be integrated with an SCWR (Super Critical Water Reactor; Canada
