Abstract
A combined radiolytic and thermochemical closed cycle process for production of hydrogen from water wherein H.sub.2 S is dissociated at high temperature and pressure by radiation, such energy being sufficient to provide dissociation and additionally to heat the reaction products to about 1100.degree. K. Hydrogen is separated from the radiolytic reaction products. The sulfur product is reacted with water in multiple additional thermochemical process steps for which heat of reaction is supplied by the radiolytic reaction products for reconstitution of the H.sub.2 S working fluid and generation of an oxygen byproduct.
