Simulation of Two-Stage Fuel Reactor Chemical Looping Hydrogen Process Using Solid Fuel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Chemical looping hydrogen (CLH) has become a promising technology for hydrogen production with inherent separation of carbon dioxide. Aspen Plus was used to simulate a two-stage fuel reactor CLH process of coal as solid fuel. Simulation results show that the two-stage reactor can fully convert the fuel and generate the maximum Fe0.947O component to react with the steam in steam reactor. The optimum OC/coal molar ratio in the two-stage fuel reactor was 2.8. The CO2 fraction of the flue gas in the fuel reactor reached 99% when the vapor was condensed at the temperature of 950 °C. The fraction of dry-based H2 in the steam reactor was nearly 100% when the steam reactor temperature was 700 °C and the steam/oxygen carrier molar ratio was 0.48.
