Oxygen Carriers: Kinetic Analysis

CaSO4

CaSO4 has the largest oxygen carrying capacity among all the currently proposed carriers. The oxygen ratio is 0.4706 for CaSO4-calcium sulphide (CaS), much higher than that of many other metal oxides such as CuO-Cu2O, NiO-Ni, and Fe2O3- Fe3O4. Calcium sulphate is a relatively stable material. It is a widespread natural resource and therefore the cost would be quite low even if the demand is high.
Through the thermodynamic analysis, it seemed that CaSO4 can be used as a promising oxygen carrier for chemical looping combustion.
High heating rate leads to the increase of the initial reacting temperature. The initial reaction starts from 830 ℃ with heating rate of 5 ℃ /min, 930℃ with heating rate of 20 ℃ /min.

But no substantial connection was found between the lowered peak temperatures and ratio of SiO2 added. The reaction rate (such as Rmax) is increased during fuel gas-CaSO4 reaction.
The addition of SiO2 as a binder promoted the conversion of solid reactant (CaSO4) in the reaction with fuel gas at relatively low temperatures. The maximum reaction rates (Rmax) of pure CaSO4 with CH4, CO, and H2 were 1.97×10-4, 5.01×10-4, and 1.04×10-3 s-1 at 840 ℃, which was considerably lower than the value 1.37 ×10-3 s-1 of CuO-based oxygen carrier at 850 ℃. But for 13.5 wt % SiO2-supported CaSO4, the value of Rmax increased to 1.24 ×10-3, 9.91× 10-3, and 3.95 ×10-3 s-1, respectively.
The addition of SiO2 as a binder also promoted the conversion of solid reactant (CaSO4) in the reaction with fuel gas at relatively low temperatures.
The maximum conversion (Xmax) of CaSO4 was limited to 27.24%, 54.45%, and 89.12%, respectively, for CH4, CO, and H2. When 13.5 wt % SiO2-supported CaSO4 was used, Xmax increased and became 90.87%, 94.50%, and 100%, respectively. This indicates that SiO2-supported oxygen carriers can be used at lower operating temperatures, avoiding the decomposition of oxygen carriers with the release of

    It is believed that at higher potential foils can be overheated and deformed, which can quench the reaction propagation. The quenched reaction front with deformation will be explained in more detail in the next section. The reaction front speed of 1Ti/2Al reactive foil is nearly constant for different potentials. The high conductivity of this foil type and moderate diffusion distance of atomic mixing exhibit nearly constant reaction velocity. With increasing activation potentials, the reaction speed of 1Ti/3Al foils increases and then decreases.…

    The purpose of this lab is to use the Deal-Grove model to calculate rate constants, activation energies, and equilibrium solubility concentrations of oxidants in the thermal oxidation of silicon. The silicon will be oxidized in a furnace at varying temperatures and with varying flow rates of wet air. By varying these parameters, the effects of temperature and flow rate on the rate of oxidation can be observed. These values can then be compared with previous results from Deal and Grove to determine the accuracy. The furnace will be run at 800, 900, and 1000 oC. The furnace will be run at 231.5 mL/min for all three temperatures.…

    A similar experiment such as the reaction of Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid includes the “Yellow Snowstorm” reaction – a reaction between Copper (II) and Thiosulfate. Copper (II) sulfate [CuSO4·5H2O] dissolves to give cupric ion (Cu2+); in the context of a redox reaction with thiosulfate, the cupric ion acts as an oxidizing agent. Reactions within the temperature on Sodium Thiosulfate and Hydrochloric Acid occur as the result of molecules interacting with each other to create new substances. When Hydrochloric Acid is in an aqueous solution, it immediately provides a proton (H+) which is always attracted to any negative ions present – which is balanced overtime. The sodium ion (Na+) from Sodium Thiosulfate performs alike as the ion…

    Discussion Graph 1 displays the reaction time (in minutes) of how long it took for the Alka-Seltzer tablet to completely dissolve per trial. Graph 2 displays the averages of the reaction time which showed the higher the water temperature is, the faster the reaction time would be. At 65⁰C the average time for the Alka-Seltzer to completely dissolve was 1 minute 4 seconds followed by 1 minute 20 seconds at 35⁰C and ending with the highest average at 2 minutes 1 second (1.61). The hypothesis stated that hot water temperature would make the Alka-Seltzer tablet dissolve the fastest.…

    This process is followed by desorption while linearly increasing temperature at a specific rate. Quantity of hydrogen adsorbed at various flow conditions and flow times is measured and are plotted in fig.4[1]. From the results, it is evident that a minimum adsorption time of 60 minutes is required to achieve equilibrium adsorption. Upon further investigation, it is observed that desorption temperature is inversely proportional to the hydrogen adsorption capacity. The peak values of desorption temperatures can be used to estimate the activation energy of desorption from the following…

    In this research, mesoporous material KIT-6 silica with high surface area (924.5 m2/g) and pore diameter (9.71 nm) was successfully synthesized using rice husk ash as a silica source. According to the SAXS analysis and TEM micrographs, the silicate structure of as-prepared KIT-was not distrupted by the functionalization and activation treatments with 3-APTES and glutaraldehyde, but showed a significant decrease in pore diameter and total pore volume as the compound was covalently bonded to the KIT-6 surface. Besides, the pore diameter of KIT-6 obtained was considered sufficient to accommodate the medium size protein molecule. The FESEM image gave supporting evidence for the mesoporous silica KIT-6 with a gyroid structure in complement to the SAXS analysis, signifying the KIT-6 with Ia3d symmetry and the 3D-interconnecting pore network. Besides that, the FTIR spectra confirmed the structure of KIT-6 and incorporation of 3-APTES and glutaraldehyde into the KIT-6.…

    High SF content binder might contain unreacted silica fume particles in low water content mixtures, results in poor particle packing and reduces strength. As testing both binary and ternary systems, the optimal binder composition for strength was observed with mixture of 60/40 MgO/SF ratio instead of 40/60 MgO/SF ratio as required by stoichiometry for chemical reactions to form M-S-H gel. The optimal binder composition, therefore, is dependent not only on the MgO/SiO2 ratio for maximum formation of M-S-H gel, but also the MgO/SiO2 ratio for maximum packing density characterized by particle size and shape of each constituent in the binder. By adding crushed quartz filler from 10-40% binder, the compressive strength and workability improves considerably. Compressive strengths of Q20 and Q30 samples indicate the effective crushed quartz filler content of between…

    CO2 Concentration Essay

    One of the most widely studied mitigation options for reducing concentration of CO2 in atmosphere involves injecting it into the ocean at great depths, where the gaseous CO2 reacts to form carbonic acid (H2CO3) as shown in equation (2.1). This equation shows various forms of CO2 as it is dissolved in the water (brine). Depending on the pH of the solution, either forms of CO2 may be observed (CO2 (aq), 〖"HCO" 〗_"3" ^"-" , 〖"CO" 〗_"3" ^"2-" ). There are two ways for storing CO2 in ocean, either directly injected into the oceans or injected beneath ocean floor at a depth greater than 3000 meters and several hundred meters of marine sediment. The downside of this method is it endangers the marine life by as its pH alters as CO2 dissolves in water.…

    In2O3 NC was formed by direct injection of the precursors solution in a three-neck flask containing alcohol. Briefly, the alcohol solution containing ODA (25.45 g) and ODE (150 mL) was load in a 250 ml three-necked flask, degassed at 120 °C for 2 h, followed by heating at 310 °C. Then, a typical solution precursor containing 0.86 g of InAc and 5.2 g OA in 12.5 mL of ODE was prepared separately by degassing and heating to 120 °C. At this temperature, the solution was evacuated using a vacuum pump and refilled with Ar gas to ensure the complete removal of oxygen and trace water. After a clear, transparent solution was formed, the three-neck flask was then quickly heated to 310 °C.…
