Abstract. Chemical looping air separation is a novel oxygen production technology based on the reduction and oxidation cycle of the oxygen carrier. In this work, reactivity tests of the reduction and oxidation reactions with CuO supported on SiO 2 , TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , and Al 2 O 3 were performed on STA409PC thermogravimetricanalyzer under different temperatures and particle sizes. The results show that SiO 2 , TiO 2 , ZrO 2 are the suitable binders for CuO. The reaction rates have the tendency of increasing as particle sizes decrease, but the influence is not apparent. The binders of SiO 2 , ZrO 2 and TiO 2 combined with CuO show high reactivity and conversion ratio. The reaction rates increase greatly as the temperature increases.
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.
