Abstract
The efficiency of producing hydrogen through a sulphur-iodine process is very sensitive to the HI
decomposition process. In Korea, an electrodialysis method was selected to concentrate HI in the
solution. The current status of HI concentration and decomposition characteristics with electrodialysis,
distillation and HI decomposition catalyst is presented. Another sensitive item of iodine content is also
briefly described. A future plan on how to demonstrate a lab-scale SI closed loop is also presented with
key issues.
