Perovskites as oxygen storage materials for chemical looping partial oxidation and reforming of methane

Abstract

The traditional partial oxidation, dry reforming and steam reforming of methane technologies are separated into two reactors for execution by chemical looping technology, which can avoid the defects exposed in...

Advances and Challenges in Oxygen Carriers for Chemical Looping Partial Oxidation of Methane

“…Unlike traditional fossil fuel gasification and reforming methods, chemical looping partial oxidation (CLPO) removes the necessity for an air separation unit, a water-gas shift reactor, or molecular oxygen from an air separation unit (ASU), thus resulting in increased gas efficiency and decreased fuel consumption [4]. Accordingly, CLPO can directly generate syngas with desirable H 2 :CO ratios and reduced CO 2 content [5]. Compared to conventional technology, CLPO technology is capable of reducing investment into equipment and preventing the risk of explosions from pre-mixed methane and oxygen combinations.…”
