In the HyProSA project, a test facility is being built in which the production of hydrogen from the electrolysis of concentrated sulphuric acid is being investigated. With a suitable choice of operating parameters, hydrogen peroxide (or another peroxide) is produced at the anode instead of oxygen. The peroxide is able to oxidise sulphur dioxide and further form sulphuric acid.

The aim of this project is to build the above-mentioned plant, put it into operation and collect data. In the future, the data and simulations obtained will be used to investigate the extent to which sulphuric acid production can be electrified, especially as hydrogen can also be produced in this way.
