“…Based on the different fluidizing properties of remaining char and oxygen-carrier particles, a carbon stripper has been proposed as a promising equipment to carry out the separation of char (Cao and Pan, 2006;Morin et al, 2010). The critical role of the carbon stripper has been pointed out in numerous previous studies (Ströhle et al, 2010;Kramp et al, 2011; submitted for publication-a, submitted for publication-b). In previous CLC experiments with solid fuels performed to date, full oxidation of the outlet fuel-reactor stream could not be achieved Lyngfelt, 2008a,b, 2009;Cuadrat et al, 2011a;Shen et al, 2009a,b,c).…”
