Pilot Scale Operation and Testing of Syngas Chemical Looping For Hydrogen Production

Preliminary Screening of Materials for the Chemical Looping CO2 Splitting Process as a Pathway for Biokerosene Synthesis

“…This system has demonstrated the feasibility of an autothermal process, provided that the heat is generated in the highly exothermic oxidation reactor. 15,16 Selecting, developing, and optimizing suitable oxygen carriers is of paramount importance for the efficient and effective operation of the CLCO2SPLIT process. The development of suitable oxygen carriers is a key aspect in proving the concept of this process and will ultimately determine its sustainability and economics.…”

“…More extensive research has been conducted on water splitting processes for H 2 production. 16,31,32 The main concept of the CLCO2SPLIT process is similar to water splitting schemes, suggesting that oxygen carriers developed for water splitting may also be applicable for CLCO2SPLIT. Rydeń and Arjmand 31 conducted water-splitting experiments in a small bench-scale continuous reactor using particles of Fe 2 O 3 / MgAl 2 O 4 , and found that a hydrogen concentration reasonably close to the thermodynamic equilibrium could be produced.…”

“…No defluidization problems were reported. Hsieh et al 16 constructed and operated a 250 kW th high pressure pilot demonstration prototype based on moving beds and obtained high purity hydrogen using Fe 2 O 3 as oxygen carrier.…”
