In gas and petroleum industry, the waste gas stream from the sweetening process of a sour natural gas stream is commonly referred as acid gas. Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) technology has the potential to exploit the combustible fraction of acid gas, H2S, to produce energy obtaining a flue...

A system of coupled fluidized beds for chemical looping combustion of solid fuels was successfully commissioned. The facility has a rated thermal power of 25kW and consists of a circulating fluidized bed coupled with a two-stage bubbling fluidized bed. The two-stage bubbling fluidized bed is the...

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a promising carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. One of the challenges is to find the most suitable oxygen carrier (OC). Using solid fuels makes it important to use cheap and natural oxygen carriers, since there will probably be some loss of bed...

A newly designed continuous lab-scale rotating bed reactor for chemical looping combustion using CuO/Al2O3 oxygen carrier spheres and methane as fuel gives around 90% CH4 conversion and 90% CO2 capture efficiency based on converted methane at 800°C. However, from a series of experiments using a...

SINTEF Energy Research and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology – NTNU have proposed a 150kWth reactor system design aiming at further development of chemical looping processes. It consists of a double loop circulating fluidized bed, meant to be used as a platform to study...

Motivated by possible future applications in low pressure drop reactors for hydrogen production by fixed bed chemical looping steam reforming (CLSR), novel high porosity fibrous mats of aluminosilicate fibres have been investigated as a substrate for Ni/Co oxygen carriers (OC's). When compared...

Recently, interest in chemical-looping combustion (CLC) has grown because it is a technique that could allow cost-effective carbon capture and storage. Recently, the chemical-looping process was also proposed for the production of hydrogen. Chemical-looping hydrogen (CLH) generation, which is a...

The increasing demands for energy and concern of global warming are intertwined issues of critical importance. With the pressing need for clean, efficient, and cost-effective energy conversion processes, the chemical looping strategy has evolved as a promising alternative to the traditional...

Biomass gasification using lattice oxygen (BGLO) of natural hematite coupling with steam was conducted in a fluidized bed reactor. The presence of hematite particles evidently facilitated to biomass gasification. Comparing with biomass steam gasification (BSG), carbon conversion and gas yield...
