Chemical-looping steam reforming (CLSR) is a chemical-looping combustion (CLC) derived technology in which air is replaced by steam as oxidant. CLSR combines the inherent CO 2 capture of CLC with the production of PEMFC-ready hydrogen streams without further purification steps. CLSR thus results in strong process intensification in hydrogen production. Here, we present results from a proof-of-concept study of CLSR of synthesis gas which combines thermodynamic screening for carrier selection, with synthesis and reactive test of highly active and high-temperature stable nanostructured oxygen carriers, and a reactor modeling study in order to demonstrate the feasibility of CLSR in a periodically operated fixed-bed reactor.
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.
