Performance of a bauxite waste as oxygen-carrier for chemical-looping combustion using coal as fuel

Evaluation of the use of different coals in Chemical Looping Combustion using a bauxite waste as oxygen carrier

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)....

Waste lubricating oil as a source of hydrogen fuel using chemical looping steam reforming

Initial results are presented for the production of hydrogen from waste lubricating oil using a chemical looping reforming (CLR) process. The development of flexible and sustainable sources of hydrogen will be required to facilitate a ‘hydrogen economy’. The novel CLR process presented in this paper has an advantage over hydrogen production from conventional steam reforming because CLR can use ...

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...

Syngas combustion in a 500 Wth Chemical-Looping Combustion system using an impregnated Cu-based oxygen carrier

Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) is an emerging technology for CO2 capture because separation of this gas from the other flue gas components is inherently to the process and thus no energy is expended for the separation. For its use with coal as fuel in power plants, a process integrated by coal gasification and CLC would have important advantages for CO2 capture. This paper presents the combu...
