Nowadays, the global warming is considered as a world problem because it influences the environment by increasing the average temperature of earth surface. One of the greenhouse gases that release from human activities and fossil fuels combustion in industry is CO2. Several technologies are...

The performance differences between the fluidized-bed and the fixed-bed operation modes were comparatively studied in a pressurized coal-fuelled chemical looping combustion (CLC) process. Pressurized thermogravimetric (TG) analysis was applied to elucidate the findings observed in pressurized...

Driven by the search for high efficiency power generation with low CO2 emissions, several works in the last years investigated the integration of gas turbine cycles and high temperature fuel cells to arrange power plants with CO2 capture.

This paper presents a power plant concept based on an oxy-fired circulating fluidized bed combustor (oxy-CFBC) combined with thermal energy storage on a large scale. The concept exploits to full advantage the large circulation flows of high temperature solids that are characteristic of these...

In this paper, we experimentally investigated the time evolution of compositions in the gas phase and the hydrate slurry during long-term operations of hydrate-based CO2 separation. We performed continuous gas separation experiments at pressure of 2.3MPa and temperature of 273.2K. We continually...

The iron-based Coal-Direct Chemical Looping (CDCL) combustion process is an alternative to conventional oxy-combustion technologies, where the oxygen used for fuel conversion in the CDCL process is provided by an iron-oxide based oxygen carrier instead of an air separation unit. The iron oxide...

The main drawbacks of developing carbon adsorbents from pine sawdust, an abundant biomass feedstock, are the low carbon yield of the process and the poor mechanical properties of the resulting carbons. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, the effect of the addition of coal tar pitch was...

A new CO2 sorbent was prepared from carbide slag, aluminum nitrate hydrate and glycerol water solution by combustion synthesis method. The effects of the sorbent preparation conditions (glycerol addition, combustion synthesis temperature, ratio of carbide slag to aluminum nitrate hydrate) and...

Since solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) produce electricity with high energy conversion efficiency, and chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a process for fuel conversion with inherent CO2 separation, a novel combined cycle integrating coal gasification, solid oxide fuel cell, and chemical looping...

The objective of this study is to develop a new low-cost, highly selective, and stable sorbent based pre-combustion CO2 capture. A high surface area titanium oxide (TiO2) prepared by a template method and amine modified TiO2 (M-TiO2) were investigated for CO2/CH4 adsorption at conditions...
