This book presents the current carbonaceous fuel conversiontechnologies based on chemical looping concepts in the context oftraditional or conventional technologies. The key features of thechemical looping processes, their ability to generate asequestration-ready CO2 stream, are thoroughly discussed. Chapter 2is devoted entirely to the performance of particles in chemicallooping technology and covers the subjects of solid particledesign, synthesis, properties, and reactive characteristics. Thelooping processes can be applied for combustion and/or gasificationof carbon-based material such as coal, natural gas, petroleum coke,and biomass directly or indirectly for steam, syngas, hydrogen,chemicals, electricity, and liquid fuels production. Details of theenergy conversion efficiency and the economics of these loopingprocesses for combustion and gasification applications in contrastto those of the conventional processes are given in Chapters 3, 4,and 5.Finally, Chapter 6 presents additional chemical loopingapplications that are potentially beneficial, including those for H2 storage and onboard H2 production, CO2 capture in combustionflue gas, power generation using fuel cell, steam-methanereforming, tar sand digestion, and chemicals and liquid fuelproduction.
A CD is appended to this book that contains the chemical loopingsimulation files and the simulation results based on the ASPEN Plussoftware for such reactors as gasifier, reducer, oxidizer andcombustor, and for such processes as conventional gasificationprocesses, Syngas Chemical Looping Process, Calcium LoopingProcess, and Carbonation-Calcination Reaction (CCR) Process.
Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials arenot included as part of eBook file.
