Passive intensification of straight-tube sulfuric acid decomposers via inert SiC packing for thermochemical hydrogen production

Sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) decomposition, the most energy-intensive step in the sulfur–iodine cycle, is limited by flow maldistribution in straight-tube decomposers. We propose a passive intensification strategy that an inert SiC packing-bed is placed upstream of the catalyst to h...
