Abstract
Research interest is increasing in the
Sulphur–Iodine thermochemical cycle, used in the hydrogenproduction
process. However, the operating
conditions of the process are hazardous due to the intrinsic chemical properties
of the materials used in the process.
Their operating temperature, pressure, or a
combination of the two, is of particular concern. Researchers used the Phast computer program
to conduct simulations to determine the possible areas affected due to a hazardous
release. Release scenarios of sulphuric acid, sulphur dioxide, sulphur
trioxide, iodine, and hydriodic acid were studied in order to design and
implement safety measures to protect the facility, the environment, and the
population.
