A promising copper based oxygen carrier produced using industriallyrelevant manufacturing equipment has been aged in IFPEN's 10 kW th Chemical Looping Combustion pilot plant. Methane combustion was performed at 900°C for 160h with an OC/fuel ratio of 1.2. While full methane conversion to CO 2 and water was achieved in the early stage of the experiment, fast deactivation was observed. The oxygen carrying particles were thoroughly characterized at various stages of the ageing experiment, from which a pathway leading to deactivation is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
