Pressurised chemical-looping combustion of an iron-based oxygen carrier: Reduction kinetic measurements and modelling
in Fuel Processing Technology
| Description | H2S reduces the uptake of Fe-based chemical looping compounds, but only by around 20 %. The reaction of H2S and Fe is reversible. The hydrogasification of coal appears to be viable. |
| Exploitation Route | Chemical looping is a technology which is becoming increasingly of interest to the UK and elsewhere as a potential energy production technology. This underpinning work assists in the development of the technology and will specifically allow bounds to be put on the amount of H2S possible in the feed gas. |

| Organisation | Tsinghua University China |
| Country | China |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | We have worked together with Chinese researchers at Tsinghua and elsewhere. The Tsinghua researchers have invited us to e.g. present with them in Luoyang city to Sinopec. The Chinese collaborators have been extremely proactive, and we have been working very well together. They have invited us to numerous meetings, and have also visited us. Both the Chinese and UK participants have made insights into each others' work. |
