System Level and Reactor Level Simulations of Chemical Looping Combustion and Chemical Looping with Oxygen Uncoupling

Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of a Complete Coal Direct Chemical Looping Sub-Pilot Unit

The present Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) work deals with the modeling of complete coal direct chemical looping sub-pilot unit which use coal as fuel and ferric oxide supported on alumina as an oxygen carrier. The 2D CFD model of the complete arrangement incorporating both fuel and air reactors and their inter-connecting parts was solved using FLUENT. The CFD model wa...

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 natural copper ore in anthracite fueled Chemical-Looping with Oxygen Uncoupling (CLOU)

Chemical Looping with Oxygen Uncoupling (CLOU) is an advanced approach proposed for improving the utilization degree of solid fuels and speeding up the reaction rate in Chemical-Looping Combustion technology (CLC). In CLOU system, OC circulates between fuel reactor (FR) and air reactor (AR), providing gaseous oxygen for the combustion of fuels (in FR) and then being regenerated by absorbing gas...

Simulation and validation of chemical-looping combustion using ASPEN plus

Laboratory-scale experimental studies have demonstrated that Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) is an advanced technology which holds great potential for high-efficiency low-cost carbon capture. The generated syngas in CLC is subsequently oxidized to CO2 and H2O by reaction with an oxygen carrier. In this paper, process-level models of CLC are established in ASPEN Plus code for detailed simulati...
