Abstract:This paper presents a detailed description and thermodynamic analysis of a novel process generating electric energy and hydrogen, i. e. two important energy products for the future. Coal and high-temperature heat are used as input energy to the process. The process is a true “zero emission process” because (a) no NOX is formed during coal combustion with sulfuric acid, and (b) the combustion products SO2 and CO2 are removed as compressed liquids from the overall process. The commercial process simulator Aspen … Show more
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.
