  • Hydrogen production by water dissociation in the presence of SnO using the SnO2/SnO couple in a series of thermochemical reactions
    Publication number: 20100136442
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing hydrogen that comprises a hydrolysis step (C) of solid SnO for producing hydrogen, in which the hydrogen thus produced is stored, recovered and/or upgraded, and in which the solid SnO used is obtained by the following steps: (A) thermal reduction of SnO2 into SnO in conditions yielding gaseous SnO; and (B) cooling the gaseous SnO thus produced to a temperature lower than or equal to % 50° C. The invention also relates to devices and equipments for implementing said method.
