Reactivity of a NiO/Al2O3 oxygen carrier prepared by impregnation for 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

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...

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

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...
