Co3O4 nanoparticles as oxygen carriers for chemical looping combustion: A materials characterization approach to understanding oxygen carrier performance

Characterization of a Sol-gel Derived CuO/CuAl2O4 Oxygen Carrier for Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) and Chemical Looping with Oxygen Uncoupling (CLOU) of Gaseous Fuels

Chemical looping combustion process in fixed - bed reactors using ilmenite as oxygen carrier

A process scheme based on a series of fixed-bed reactors is presented as a possible alternative for carrying out the chemical looping combustion of methane at high pressure with ilmenite as oxygen carrier. The oxygen carrier is stationary and it is alternately exposed to reducing and oxidizing atmospheres by means of the periodic switching of the gas feeds (i.e., methane and air, respectively)....

Ni-Cu OXYGEN CARRIERS TO REACH ZERO CO AND H2 EMISSIONS IN CHEMICAL-LOOPING COMBUSTION

Effect of support on reactivity and selectivity of Ni- based oxygen carriers for Chemical-Looping Combustion

Different Ni-based oxygen carriers were prepared by dry impregnation using -Al2O3 as support. The reactivity, selectivity during methane combustion, attrition rate and agglomeration behaviour of the oxygen carriers were measured and analyzed in a termogravimetric analyzer and in a batch fluidized bed during multicycle reductionoxidation tests. * Manuscript

Solid waste management of a chemical-looping combustion plant using Cu-based oxygen carriers.

Waste management generated from a Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) plant using copper-based materials is analyzed by two ways: the recovery and recycling of the used material and the disposal of the waste. A copper recovery process coupled to the CLC plant is proposed to avoid the loss of active material generated by elutriation from the system. Solid residues obtained from a 10 kWth CLC proto...
