Abstract
The thermochemical cycles of the FeCl family are reviewed with special emphasis on the changes brought to the reaction sequence. The chemical equilibria involved in the hydrolysis, chlorination, decomposition and oxygen removal steps of the MARK 9, MARK 14 cycles are discussed in detail and resulting data are used in an engineering flow sheet of the MARK 9 cycle. The hydrolysis of FeCl2 which is common to many FeCl cycles was examined from kinetics point of view and detailed mass and energy balances are given for different types of reaction conditions. The thermal efficiency is the limiting factor of this type of thermochemical cycle.
