Less electricity is required for electrolysis process in SORFC due to high temperature.
There are two methods of smelting zinc: the pyrometallurgical process and the electrolysis process.
The electrolysis process consists of 4 steps: leaching, purification, electrolysis, and melting and casting.
It uses zinc dust and steam to remove copper, cadmium, cobalt, and nickel, which would interfere with the electrolysis process.
The disadvantage of this process is that it is less efficient than the electrolysis process.
Significant conversion losses of energy occur both in the electrolysis process, and in the conversion of the resulting hydrogen back into power.
The electrolysis process produces exhaust which escapes into the fume hood and is evacuated.
The electrolysis process needs to be monitored frequently for the correct potency.
Byproduct D2O would come from electrolysis process used to make the hydrogen.
Ohmic losses are an electrical overpotential introduced to the electrolysis process by the internal resistance of the cell components.
