In chemistry, thermochemical cycles combine solely heat sources (thermo) with chemical reactions to split water into its hydrogen and oxygen components. [1] The term cycle is used because aside of water, hydrogen and oxygen, the chemical compounds used in these processes are continuously recycled.
The sulfur–iodine cycle (S–I cycle) is a series of thermochemical processes used to produce hydrogen. The S–I cycle consists of three chemical reactions whose net reactant is water and whose net products are hydrogen and oxygen. All other chemicals are recycled. The S–I process requires an efficient source of heat.
Water is the medium of the oceans, the medium which carries all the substances and elements involved in the marine biogeochemical cycles. Water as found in nature almost always includes dissolved substances, so water has been described as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve so many substances.
Water cycle – moves water continuously on, above and below the surface shifting between states of liquid, solution, ice and vapour; Methane cycle – moves methane between geological and biogeochemical sources and reactions in the atmosphere; Hydrogen cycle – a biogeochemical cycle brought about by a combination of biological and ...
A chain reaction is an example of a complex mechanism, in which the propagation steps form a closed cycle. In a chain reaction, the intermediate produced in one step generates an intermediate in another step. Intermediates are called chain carriers. Sometimes, the chain carriers are radicals, they can be ions as well.
Exothermic serpentinization reactions between water and olivine minerals produce H 2 in the marine or terrestrial subsurface. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] In the ocean, hydrothermal vents erupt magma and altered seawater fluids including abundant H 2 , depending on the temperature regime and host rock composition.

The chain length is defined as the average number of times the propagation cycle is repeated, and equals the overall reaction rate divided by the initiation rate. [ 1 ] Some chain reactions have complex rate equations with fractional order or mixed order kinetics.
