Reduction And Oxidation

Chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) is an innovative alternative to conventional combustion. CuO/ZrO2 oxygen carriers were tested in this system for their effectiveness and resilience. Cupric oxide (CuO) was demonstrated to be a reliable oxygen carrier for oxygen-uncoupling with consistent recyclability even after 50 redox cycles in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The reduction of CuO to generate Cu2O and oxygen was observed to be improved markedly for experiments operated at higher temperatures; however, the oxidation of Cu2O by air to generate CuO was hindered for experiments carried out at elevated temperatures. The reduction rate of fabricated CuO/ZrO2 particles containing 40% CuO was enhanced with increasing temperature and decreased with increasing particle size for experiments operated in a fixed bed reactor. The geometrical contraction and Avrami-Erofe’ev models were demonstrated to be appropriate for describing the reduction and oxidation of CuO/ZrO2, respectively. The activation energies for the reduction and oxidation were determined to be 250.6 kJ/mol and 57.6 kJ/mol, respectively, based on experimental results in the temperature range between 850 and 1000 °C.
