Effects of ZnO Addition on Fe2O3/Al2O3 Oxygen Carriers on CH4 Reduction for Chemical Looping Combustion
Abstract:
Fe2O3/Al2O3/ZnO oxygen carriers with small content ZnO (5 wt% to 10 wt%) were prepared by physical mixing method and were evaluated its capability as an oxygen carrier in a chemical looping combustion. The combustion was conducted by using CH4 as a fuel gas. The reduction process of Fe2O3/Al2O3/ZnO oxygen carrier was carried out in a fixed bed reactor. The solid reduction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope with EDS Attachment (SEM-EDS). The results show that the reactivity of Fe2O3/Al2O3/ZnO oxygen carriers is greater than that of Fe2O3/Al2O3 which is implied the synergetic effect between ZnO and Fe2O3. XRD results show that the iron oxide in the oxygen carriers is reduced to metallic iron. SEM-EDS also shows that the iron agglomeration is prevented. Consequently, the suitable content of ZnO in oxygen carriers is ranged from 5 wt% to 10 wt%.
