Development and performance of iron based oxygen carriers containing calcium ferrites for chemical looping combustion and production of hydrogen
Abstract Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a cyclic process in which an oxygen carrier (OC), is firstly reduced by a fuel, e.g. syngas, and then oxidised in air to produce heat. If the OC is Fe2O3, the oxidation can take place in steam to produce ...
