Description
Abstract:Cerous carbonates can be used in thermochemical cycles for H production if the resulting ceric oxides can be converted back into cerous carbonates. One way is to reduce and hydrolyze ceric oxide with HCl to produce CeOCl and then to carbonate it. The reaction 3CeOCl + 3CO/sub 2/ + 8H/sub 2/O ..-->.. CeCl/sub 3/(aq) + Ce/sub 2/ (CO/sub 3/)/sub 3/ . 8H/sub 2/O was found to occur in aqueous medium if the final CeCl/sub 3/ content is low. Carbonation of CeOCl could also be conducted in acetone --H/sub 2/O . CeClCO/sub 3/ . 3H/sub 2/O was decomposed and characterized. The reactions which can be used for water splitting are discussed briefly. (DLC)
