Chemical looping gasification (CLG) is a novel dual-fluidized bed technology that allows for the production of high-calorific syngas from various solid feedstocks (e.g., biomass). Solid circulation between two coupled fluidized reactors, serving purpose heat and oxygen transport, key parameter CLG technology, making system hydrodynamics backbone process. This study serves to provide holistic in...

Fluidized bed processing is a relatively novel method for coating metal substrates. A detailed study was carried out into surface property and in micro-structure changes induced by fluidized bed processing. In particular, fluidized bed processing of AA 6082 T6 aluminum alloy components using alumina Al2O3 powder was investigated. Firstly, the build up of Al2O3 films was studied and characterize...

Co-combustion of chicken litter with coal was performed in a laboratory-scale fluidized bed combustor to investigate the effect of chicken litter addition on the partitioning behavior of mercury. Gaseous total and elemental mercury concentrations in the flue gas were measured online, and ash was analyzed for particlebound mercury along with other elemental and surface properties. The mercury ma...
