The Efficient Fuel Combustion Using Chemical Looping

Abstract

This paper discusses Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC). That is the system for energy generation and pollutant control which can capture carbon dioxide (CO2). CLC uses the carrier of solid oxygen that can transfer the oxygen from air to fuel during combustion, eliminating the need for an air separation unit (ASU), and allowing to production of an approximately pure stream of carbon dioxide for the purpose of capturing and storing. The paper also discusses the history of CLC, the types of fuels that can be used in CLC, and the challenges and difficulties this technology is facing. The second part of the paper centers on the topic of different types of solid oxygen carriers, including copper oxides, manganese oxides, and iron-based oxygen carriers. The paper also discusses utilizing solid fuels in CLC systems, particularly coal. All the essential components required for expansion are presented and accounted for. Various inexpensive oxygen transport substances have undergone extended trials and have exhibited satisfactory levels of effectiveness and durability. Overall, CLC is a promising technology for reducing the environmental impact of energy production and industrial processes.
