CO2 capture from combustion flue gas combined to its catalytic hydrogenation synthetic methane is considered as a promising technology in the field of Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU). In this work, integrated methanation process was investigated an innovative chemical looping configuration using dual function materials (DFMs) recirculated alternately between two interconnected bubbling fluidized bed reactors. By physically separating step reaction coupled reactors it possible...
Abstract Batchwise fluidized‐bed calcination and sulfation of a limestone were done to investigate particle comminution phenomena their relation with parallel occurrence reactions. Operating conditions the bed those typical atmospheric bubbling combustors. A general framework is outlined, which includes different types fragmentations as well attrition by abrasion. Comminution processes characterized following modifications sorbent particle‐size distribution elutriation rates fines throughout...
The fluidized bed combustion of char from three different biomass fuels, pine seed shells, olive husk, and wood chips, was investigated in a bench scale combustor. A combination experimental techniques used to characterize the relevance attrition phenomena during chars their impact on fuel particle size distribution overall carbon conversion. Results showed that, depending upon biomass, extensive primary secondary fragmentation could be experienced by particles, significantly influencing...
The present study addresses limestone attrition and fragmentation associated with impact loading, a process which may occur extensively in various regions of fluidized bed (FB) combustors/gasifiers, primarily the jetting region bottom bed, exit riser, cyclone. An experimental protocol for characterization propensity to undergo attrition/fragmentation by loading is reported. application demonstrated reference an Italian whose primary surface wear have already been characterized previous...
Sorption-Enhanced Gasification (SEG) is a promising technology based on the use of Ca-based sorbents (like limestone) to selectively remove CO2 from gasification environment, for production hydrogen rich syngas. This process benefits extensive understanding "calcium looping", post-combustion technique aimed at removing flue gas. Calcium looping most typically carried out in Dual Interconnected Fluidised Bed (DIFB) reactors. The correct design sorbent processes DIFB reactors must consider: 1)...
The fluidized bed combustion of a biomass residue (olive husk) common in the Mediterranean area was investigated bench-scale reactor. focus study high propensity this fuel to have agglomeration problems during as consequence potassium content ash. Temperature and pressure profiles were followed function time steady tests at different operating conditions. Bed defluidization characteristic times measured correlated ash buildup on sand particles. In addition, diagnostic tool based measurement...
