Project Title: Design, Development and Bench-scale Demonstration of Electrochemical Hydroiodic Acid (HI) Decomposition in a Continuous Flow System for I-S Cycle
Sponsor: ONGC Energy Centre (OEC)
Qualifications: B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech. in Chemical Engineering or equivalent Engineering disciplines with min. 60% marks in the preceding examination. Preference will be given to candidates with having GATE scores.
Emoluments: 31,000/- per month
Duration: 2 years
Accommodation: Hostel accommodation will be provided subject to availability and subject to rules and regulations of the Institute.
Project Overview: Hydrogen is expected to play an important role in India’s energy sector as a green carbon-neutral energy source while addressing the ever-increasing energy demand. Among the various green hydrogen production technologies from water, hybrid thermochemical cycles which use heat, electricity, and chemical recycling agents offer a scalable and efficient method of producing hydrogen on a large scale. The current project aims to solve some of the major challenges associated with the iodine section of
the IodineSulfur thermochemical cycle by developing an alternative low-temperature electrochemical system.The broad objective of the proposed project is to design, develop and test a continuous flow system for electrochemical Hydroiodic processing as an alternative to the
conventional high-temperature iodine section of the I-S cycle. This project is a part of an ongoing effort in large scale hydrogen production headed by the ONGC Energy Centre in collaboration with various research institutes and organizations in India, including
Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT Delhi), CSIR Labs, Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) Mumbai, etc.
