“…ALSTOM have developed the CLG process considering CaSO 4 as oxygen carrier (Andrus, Chiu, Thibeault, & Brautsch, 2009). The use of iron ore was also analyzed as oxygen carrier, and an optimum O/C ratio of 1 was determined (Guo, Cheng, Liu, Jia, & Ryu, 2014) when coal was used as fuel, but it was lower than 0.1 for biomass gasification (Huang et al, 2013), likely because its higher carbon content in volatile matter compared with coal. Thus, the flow of oxygen transferred to the flow cannot be controlled by changing the air flow fed, but it must be fitted by controlling the solids residence time in the fuel reactor.…”
