Metal oxides and bromides were cycled using HBr and O2 at 500 °C. Ni was identified as the best candidate. HBr dissolved in liquid NiBr2-KBr-LiBr salt and reacted with suspended NiO. Supported liquid NiBr2-KBr-LiBr-NiO was cycled between HBr oxidation and Br2 production 25 times. Process modeling indicates a molten salt based process reduces the amount of heat exchanged and the number of separators.
