Chemical looping is a promising technology for fossil fuel utilization due to its high fuel conversion efficiency with in-situ CO₂ capture capability. Metal oxide are used as oxygen carriers (OCs) and circulate between a fuel reactor and an air reactor to perform reduction and oxidation reactions, respectively. In general, OC exiting the fuel reactor is not reduced fully to its metallic state due to many factors including carbon deposition and OC deactivation. Therefore, the effect of the initial reduction state on the OC oxidation in the air reactor is a significant parameter for consideration in developing the oxidation kinetic model. The objective of this work is to develop a physically significant kinetic model that applies to the oxidation of both initially fully and partially reduced OC with air. For this study, 1.5 mm Fe-based OC particle supported with TiO₂ was used as the model OC particle due to its complex multistep reaction nature. The oxidation kinetics were experimentally investigated in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Results indicate a significant difference in the oxidation rate profile for the OCs when oxidized from an initially fully reduced compared to an initially partially reduced state. Elemental mapping via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) reveals a shrinking-core type topochemical pattern across the OC particle, which was identified to be the cause of the dependency of kinetics on the initial reduction state. A generalized kinetic model was developed based on the observed shrinking-core behavior without presuming any rate-determining steps and experimentally validated over a broad range of temperatures (800–1000 °C) and oxygen concentrations (5, 7, 10, and 15 mol%). Impacts of particle porosity, size, and core-shell structure on the OC oxidation kinetics were analyzed in the developed oxidation kinetic model to suggest methods of improving the oxidation rate of the OC without modifying the chemical composition.
