CO2 desorption via microwave heating for post-combustion carbon capture
Abstract In this work, a comparison of CO2 desorption rates of microporous activated carbon (AC) using Microwave Swing Desorption (MSD) and Temperature Swing Desorption (TSD) is reported. For the purposes of this study, a modified microwave oven and ...

Next Generation Post- combustion Capture: Combined CO2 and SO2 Removal
Abstract A major consideration for post-combustion CO2 capture is the adverse effect of the presence of SO2 on the absorption desorption process. The most common approach is to remove the SO2 from the flue gases in a flue gas desulfurization (FGD)...

ZrO2-Supported CuO Oxygen Carriers for Chemical-Looping with Oxygen Uncoupling (CLOU)
Abstract The chemical-looping combustion (CLC) and chemical-looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU) processes are novel solutions for efficient combustion with inherent separation of carbon dioxide. In this work, oxygen carriers based on CuO supported ...

Numerical analysis of particle flows within a double expansion
Abstract The effect of solid particles within flows having zones of recirculation is of interest in pulverised fuel distribution and combustion at burners. Previous modelling of a 1/4 scale test rig was performed by Giddings et al. (2004), and an...

Thermal Degradation on Already Oxidatively Degraded Solutions
Abstract CO2 capture with alkanolamines has been in use since 1930, where 2-ethanolamine (MEA) is the most studied absorbent for post-combustion. In order to prevent degradation, it is important to understand the degradation mechanisms, which in...

Numerical Study of Thermochemical Nonequilibrium Flow Around Reentry Capsule and Estimation of Aerodynamic Heating
Abstract Numerical simulation of the flow fields was performed for the mission of Apollo AS-202 to investigate the influence of the laminar-turbulent transition position in the boundary layer around a reentry capsule on the heat flux at the wall....

On the measurement and scaling of mixing time in orbitally shaken bioreactors
Abstract Accurate determination of the mixing time in orbitally shaken bioreactors (OSRs) is essential for the optimization of mixing processes and minimization of concentration gradients that can be deleterious to cell cultures. The Dual Indicator...
