Ilmenite: A promising oxygen carrier for the scale-up of chemical looping

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)....

Validation, Modeling, and Scale-up of Chemical Looping Combustion with Oxygen Uncoupling

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

Reduction kinetics of CoO-NiO/Al2O3 oxygen carrier for chemical-looping combustion

This communication reports the reduction mechanism and kinetics of CoO-NiO/Al2O3 oxygen carrier using methane as the reduction gas. Kinetics experiments are performed in a novel fluidized bed CREC riser simulator under turbulent fluidized bed reaction conditions. A shrinking-core model is used for the kinetic modeling assuming spherical grains of the oxygen carrier particles. The XRD analysis s...

Chemical-Looping Combustion and Gasification of Coals and Oxygen Carrier Development: A Brief Review

Chemical-looping technology is one of the promising CO2 capture technologies. It generates a CO2 enriched flue gas, which will greatly benefit CO2 capture, utilization or sequestration. Both chemical-looping combustion (CLC) and chemical-looping gasification (CLG) have the potential to be used to generate power, chemicals, and liquid fuels. Chemical-looping is an oxygen transporting process usi...
