Fe2O3/Al2O3/ZnO oxygen carriers with small content ZnO (5 wt% to 10 wt%) were prepared by physical mixing method and were evaluated its capability as an oxygen carrier in a chemical looping combustion. The combustion was conducted by using CH4 as a fuel gas. The reduction process of Fe2O3/Al2O3/ZnO oxygen carrier was carried out in a fixed bed reactor. The solid reduction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope with EDS Attachment (SEM-EDS). The results show that the reactivity of Fe2O3/Al2O3/ZnO oxygen carriers is greater than that of Fe2O3/Al2O3 which is implied the synergetic effect between ZnO and Fe2O3. XRD results show that the iron oxide in the oxygen carriers is reduced to metallic iron. SEM-EDS also shows that the iron agglomeration is prevented. Consequently, the suitable content of ZnO in oxygen carriers is ranged from 5 wt% to 10 wt%.

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.

This paper describes the synthesis of a series of La1.4Sr0.6Ni1−xCoxO4 perovskite OCs using co-precipitation method by employing Co and Ni as the B-site components of perovskite and the synergetic effect of Co doping on chemical looping reforming of ethanol. A variety of techniques including N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and H2 temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) were employed to investigate the physicochemical properties of the fresh and used OCs. The activity and stability in chemical looping reforming were studied in a fixed bed reactor at 600 °C and a S/C ratio of three. The synergetic effect between Ni and Co was able to enhance the catalytic activity and improve the stability of perovskite OCs. La1.4Sr0.6Ni0.6Co0.4O4 showed an average ethanol conversion of 92.4% and an average CO2/CO ratio of 5.4 in a 30-cycle stability test. Significantly, the H2 yield and purity reached 11 wt.% and 73%, respectively. The Co doping was able to significantly improve the self-regeneration capability due to the increase in the number of oxygen vacancies in the perovskite lattice, thereby enhancing the sintering resistance. Moreover, Co promotion also contributes to the improved WGS activity.
