Abstract

A chemical looping process, which uses a packed bed of the various oxides of iron, has been formulated to produce separate, pure streams of H{sub 2} and CO{sub 2} from syngas. The process has the following stages: (1) Reduction of Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} to Fe{sub 0.947}O in the syngas from gasifying coal or biomass. This stage generates pure CO{sub 2}, once the water has been condensed. (2) Subsequent oxidation of Fe{sub 0.947}O to Fe3O{sub 4} using stearn, to simultaneously produce H{sub 2}. (3) Further oxidation of Fe3O{sub 4} to Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} using air to return the oxide to step 1. Step 1 was studied here using a Mixture of CO + CO{sub 2} + N{sub 2} as the feed to a packed bed of iron oxide particles, while measuring the concentrations of CO and CO{sub 2} in the off-gas; step 2 was investigated by passing steam in N{sub 2} through the packed bed and measuring the quantity of H{sub 2} produced. The third step simply involved passing air through the bed. Reduction to Fe, rather than Fe{sub 0.947}O, in step 1 gave low levels of H{sub 2} in step 2 after 10 cycles of reduction and oxidation and ledmore »« less

Step 3, i.e. reoxidizing the particles in air to Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}, led to no deterioration of the hydrogen yield in step 2 and benefited the process by (I) increasing the heat produced in each redox cycle and (ii) preventing the slip of CO from the bed in step 1.

Assessing the Role of Iron Sulfides in the Long Term Sequestration of Uranium by Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria

Technical Report Hayes, Kim F. ; Bi, Yuqiang ; Carpenter, Julian ; ...

This overarching aim of this project was to identify the role of biogenic and synthetic iron-sulfide minerals in the long-term sequestration of reduced U(IV) formed under sulfate-reducing conditions when subjected to re-oxidizing conditions. The work reported herein was achieved through the collaborative research effort conducted at Arizona State University (ASU) and the University of Michigan (UM). Research at ASU, focused on the biogenesis aspects, examined the biogeochemical bases for iron-sulfide production by Desulfovibrio vulgaris, a Gram-negative bacterium that is one of the most-studied strains of sulfate-reducing bacteria. A series of experimental studies were performed to investigate comprehensively important metabolic andmore »« less

Syngas redox (SGR) process to produce hydrogen from coal derived syngas

Journal Article Gupta, Puneet ; Velazquez-Vargas, Luis G ; Fan, Liang-Shih - Energy and Fuels

The syngas redox (SGR) process to produce hydrogen from coal derived syngas is described. The process involves reduction of a metal oxide to metallic form with syngas and subsequent regeneration with steam to generate hydrogen in a cyclic operation. Metal oxides of Ni, Cu, Cd, Co, Mn, Sn, and Fe were evaluated for this process based upon thermodynamic equilibrium limitations. It was found that Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} provided the best conversion of syngas to combustion products CO{sub 2} and H{sub 2}O along with a high conversion of steam to hydrogen. Other oxides provide high conversion of syngas but were foundmore »« less

Experimental study on a new process of producing hydrogen in consumption of water and coal

Journal Article Zhou, Y P ; Jia, C X ; Zhang, Y ; ... - AIChE Journal

A new process of producing pure H{sub 2} in consumption of H{sub 2}O and carbon is presented. It contains three reactions: (1) Steam reacts with FeO at 800{sup o}C generating pure H{sub 2} and Fe3O{sub 4}/Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3}; (2) Fe3O{sub 4}/Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} are reduced to FeO by CO at same temperature while CO changes to CO{sub 2}; (3) The produced CO{sub 2} reacts with carbon generating CO at 900{sup o}C. The net product of the process is H{sub 2} and CO. Theoretical energy gain of the new process is much higher than 1.0 and is energetically more than autarky.more »« less

Activation studies with a precipitated iron catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. I. Characterization studies

Journal Article Bukur, D B ; Okabe, Kiyomi ; Rosynek, M P ; ... - Journal of Catalysis

A commercial promoted precipitated iron catalyst (100 Fe/5 Cu/4.2K/25 SiO{sub 2} by weight) was characterized after different pretreatment conditions and after Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis in a fixed bed reactor. The BET-N{sub 2} surface area and pore volume of the catalyst decreased after pretreatments in hydrogen, carbon monoxide, or syngas. Isothermal and temperature-programmed reduction profiles indicate that iron reduction occurs in two steps: facile reduction of Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} to Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}, followed by slow reduction of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} to either metallic iron (H{sub 2} reduction) or an iron carbide (CO pretreatment). Calcined catalyst is in the form ofmore »« less

Chemical Looping Reforming for H2, CO and Syngas Production

Conference Bhavsar, Saurabh ; Najera, Michelle ; Solunke, Rahul ; ...

We demonstrate that the extension of CLC onto oxidants beyond air opens new, highly efficient pathways for production of ultra-pure hydrogen, activation of CO{sub 2} via reduction to CO, and are currently working on production of syngas using nanocomposite Fe-BHA. CLR hold great potential due to fuel flexibility and CO{sub 2} capture. Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is a novel clean combustion technology which offers an elegant and highly efficient route for fossil fuel combustion. In CLC, combustion of a fuel is broken down into two spatially separated steps. In the reducer, the oxygen carrier (typically a metal) supplies the stoichiometricmore »« less
