Attrition of hematite particles for chemical looping combustion in a conical jet cup
Abstract
The attrition of hematite particles for use in the chemical looping combustion process was investigated using a cold flow jet cup test. Jet cup attrition experiments are commonly used for bulk attrition testing of fluidized bed catalyst. The results indicate that the particle attrition in the jet cup cold flow experiments arises from surface abrasion due to particle-particle and particle-wall interactions. Experiments indicate that the measured cumulative mass loss increases with attrition time. However, the attrition rate decreases sharply at the early stage of attrition, and gradually, the rate decline slows and approaches a constant value with increasing attrition time. Furthermore, the influence of inlet gas velocity and solid inventory is discussed. As inlet gas velocities increase, the measured cumulative mass loss also increases. However, as the solid inventory increases, the cumulative mass loss decreases. The results also show that the jet cup experiments quantitatively compare with low magnitude tangential forces which is an indication of attrition through abrasion as the primary mechanism. It is determined through particle size distributions before and after which show a small shift of the main peaks with no peak broadening while producing a small number of fines. By using the mass of abraded finesmore »

By using the mass of abraded fines and the widely-used Archard model for abrasive attrition, the specific wear rate coefficient can be predicted as a function of time. The wear coefficient calculation further identifies that the abrasion mechanism as the primary mechanism of attrition.},
