“…Given that the microstructure of the nascent CaO essentially depends on that of the original CaCO 3, the porous structure of the nascent CaO provides information about the degree of sintering attained in the previous carbonation stage. 28 , 64 As expected, the measurements prove substantial sintering after carbonation is carried out in the mixture H 2 O/CO 2 , while the loss of reactive area and porosity is less pronounced when the reaction is conducted in N 2 /CO 2 . These results are consistent with the values of conversion attained in the second cycle and the SEM micrographs in Figure 7 .…”

This study explores the effect of steam addition during carbonation on the multicyclic performance of limestone under calcium looping conditions compatible with (i) CO 2 capture from postcombustion gases (CCS) and with (ii) thermochemical energy storage (TCES). Steam injection has been proposed to improve the CO 2 uptake capacity of CaO-based sorbents when the calcination and carbonation loops are carried out in CCS conditions: at moderate carbonation temperatures (∼650 °C) under low CO 2 concentration (typically ∼15% at atmospheric pressure). However, the recent proposal of calcium-looping as a TCES system for integration into concentrated solar power (CSP) plants has aroused interest in higher carbonation temperatures (∼800–850 °C) in pure CO 2 . Here, we show that steam benefits the multicyclic behavior in the milder conditions required for CCS. However, at the more aggressive conditions required in TCES, steam essentially has a neutral net effect as the CO 2 uptake promoted by the reduced CO 2 partial pressure but also is offset by the substantial steam-promoted mineralization in the high temperature range. Finally, we also demonstrate that the carbonation rate depends exclusively on the partial pressure of CO 2 , regardless of the diluting gas employed.

“…Sound-assisted FB in solar-driven chemical processing have been first proposed by De Maria et al (2001) and further explored by Raganati et al (2020). Stimulated by the findings of Benitez-Guerrero et al (2017) and Durán-Martín et al (2020), Raganati et al (2020) performed Calcium Looping (CaL) experiments in a FB of very fine particles (d Sauter 4 μm) to improve material reactivity, hence energy storage density. Acoustic perturbation was effectively applied to break up particle clusters/agglomerates and enable fluidization of the otherwise cohesive powder.…”

Thermal and thermochemical processes can be efficiently developed and carried out in fluidized beds, due to the unique properties of fluidized suspensions of solid particles and to the inherent flexibility of fluidized bed design and operation. Coupling fluidization with concentrated solar power is a stimulating cross-disciplinary field of investigation, with the related issues and opportunities to explore. In this review article the current and perspective applications of fluidized beds to collection, storage and exploitation of solar radiation are surveyed. Novel and “creative” designs of fluidized bed solar receivers/reactors are reported and critically discussed. The vast field of applications of solar-driven fluidized bed processes, from energy conversion with thermal energy storage, to solids looping for thermochemical energy storage, production of fuels, chemicals and materials, is explored with an eye at past and current developments and an outlook of future perspectives.

“…However, due to sintering, the material gradually loses its porosity and facility for the reactive gas to access the active sites within the material [39,40]. To address this issue, the addition of an inert material for structure stabilization and sintering inhibition is a proven approach (Figure 4).…”

The exploitation of solar energy, an unlimited and renewable energy resource, is of prime interest to support the replacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy alternatives. Solar energy can be used via concentrated solar power (CSP) combined with thermochemical energy storage (TCES) for the conversion and storage of concentrated solar energy via reversible solid–gas reactions, thus enabling round the clock operation and continuous production. Research is on-going on efficient and economically attractive TCES systems at high temperatures with long-term durability and performance stability. Indeed, the cycling stability with reduced or no loss in capacity over many cycles of heat charge and discharge of the material is pursued. The main thermochemical systems currently investigated are encompassing metal oxide redox pairs (MOx/MOx−1), non-stoichiometric perovskites (ABO3/ABO3−δ), alkaline earth metal carbonates and hydroxides (MCO3/MO, M(OH)2/MO with M = Ca, Sr, Ba). The metal oxides/perovskites can operate in open loop with air as the heat transfer fluid, while carbonates and hydroxides generally require closed loop operation with storage of the fluid (H2O or CO2). Alternative sources of natural components are also attracting interest, such as abundant and low-cost ore minerals or recycling waste. For example, limestone and dolomite are being studied to provide for one of the most promising systems, CaCO3/CaO. Systems based on hydroxides are also progressing, although most of the recent works focused on Ca(OH)2/CaO. Mixed metal oxides and perovskites are also largely developed and attractive materials, thanks to the possible tuning of both their operating temperature and energy storage capacity. The shape of the material and its stabilization are critical to adapt the material for their integration in reactors, such as packed bed and fluidized bed reactors, and assure a smooth transition for commercial use and development. The recent advances in TCES systems since 2016 are reviewed, and their integration in solar processes for continuous operation is particularly emphasized.
