New kind of catalysts. Circular formic acid as example.

New kind of catalysts are an exothermic reversible reaction being combined with another reaction in joint chemical process, to make it happen at designed conditions and to restore the said reversible reaction's reactants. David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor, retired, judbarovski.blogspot.com, judbarovski@gmail.com. Abstract. (1) CO + H20 = CO2H2 - formic acid, it is the said catalyst, beinmg the said exotermic reversible reaction. (2) (CO2H2) + 0.5 H20 = 0.5 H2 + 0.25 O2 + (CO + H2O). It is the said joint chemical process here at quite mild conditions and served to produce incredibly cheap hydrogen can change a game in chemistry and in energy in particular. Really. Energy for those can be renewable and as cheap as less USD 0.01 /kWh down to 0.4 cents or less. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and so on. Reaction (1) is classical. dH = - 73 kJ, while dS = - 247 J/mol * K. Reaction (2) goes at dH = 73 + 0.5 * 242 = 194 kJ. dS = 247 + 0.5 * (131 + 102 - 180) = 274. dG = 1...

New kind of catalysts

New kind of catalyst. December 22, 2025 New kind of catalyst is an exothermic reversible reaction being combined with another reaction in joint chemical process, to make it happen at designed conditions and to restore the said reversible reaction's reactants For example, it can be thermochemical water splitting in hydrogen and oxigen. (a) CO + H2O = CO2 + H2 - 41 kJ. It is exothermic reversible reaction being classicsl one. dH = - 41 kJ, dS = - 34 J/mol*K. T 2000 C, while conventional thermal water spliting needs much hither temperature. Here CO2 and CO are circular and practically free, so a cost of H2 is a cost of energy consumed. Heat can be renewable energy and 0.4 US cents/kWh [1], and heat in electricity can be 30% energy efficiency and 3.0 US cents /kWh tariff for sale. So the hydrogen cost is here by (0.33 * 242 kJ + 41) * 1000 * 0.004 / 3.6 - 41 * 1000 * 0.3 * 0.03 / 3.6 = USD 30 for 0.66 ton H2 product, so 30 / 0.66 - USD 45 /ton H2, Opex, vs. the water electrolysis 286 ...

Hydrogen (H2) being a predecessor in chemistry and in artificial fuels production in particular, from air and water domestically and distribute guarantees energy independency. USD 46/ton H2 = USD 6/ton NH3 = USD 2.4/bbloe , all by the Opex. Super cheaply, zero-carbon, circular, compact, scalable. (1) CO + H2O = CO2 + H2 - 41 kJ, exothermic reaction is used here as 'enveloping catalyst' for thermal water splitting (see reaction (2)). Formic acid - CO2H2, as intermidiator of process (1) allows its soft conditions. The by-product of reaction (1) is heat in electricity for sale, being 41 kJ * 2.5 = USD 103 /Mmol. (2) (CO2 + H2) + m H2O = m H2 + m/2 O2 + (CO + H20). At m = 0.33, a cost of H2-product is USD 46 / ton. H2 cost = total energy consumed. Really, because here the CO2 and CO are circular and practically fre...

Novel zero-carbon technology to produce electricity by circular chemistry.

Novel zero-carbon technology to produce electricity by circular chemistry. December 14, 2025 Novel zero-carbon technology to produce electricity by circular chemistry. David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor, retired. judbarovski.blogspot.com, judbasrovski@gmail.com (1) CO + H2O = CO2 + H2, dH = 110 + 242 - 393 = - 41, dS = 213 + 131 - 198 - 180 = -34 J/mol*K, dG = -41 kJ + 34 * T 73,000 / 249 = 20 C. If Q means a cost, USD, Q (Mmol heat of reaction (3) = 73 MJ * 4 / 3600 = USD 88 /MWh, consumed to produce electricity from the heat of exothermic reactions (1) + (2) for sale by USD 180, supposed here at 30% energy efficiecy and 3.3 cent as tariff.

For Mekorot, WaTech - 12/12/2025

I looked through your profile. Can I join you and your team as a volunteer? I and my long of more than 60 years rich interdisciplinary experience and results can be very helpful for you and your career. For example, you can see my some recent results and CV. Title. Greenhouse for the water desalination. Simply, compact, cheaply. Sincerely, David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor, retired. judbarovski.blogspot.com, judbarovski@gmail.com Abstract. Greenhouse has two or three roofs. Input water is evaporated inside the said greenhouse by sun light at daytimes and condensed at nights by cold ambient air out of greenhouse. Periodicly at nights, greenhouse is cleaned and repeat, if needed. For example For israel conditions, destributed 1000 km2 (2.5 m3 /m2 in a year, 2.5 milliards m3 totally) is enough for all water consume by about 40 US cents/ m3 [1] CV-2023, judbarovski.blogspot.com/2023/04, posted on Apr. 27, 2023 [2] A real way to energy independency.
