Chemical looping combustion kinetics | 2009-12-01 | chemical looping; combustion kinetics; CO2 capture; coal-fired power plants; CLC | One of the most promising methods of capturing CO2 emitted by coal-fired power plants for subsequent sequestration is chemical looping combustion (CLC). A powdered metal oxide such as NiO transfers oxygen directly to a fuel in a fuel reactor at high temperatures with no air present. Heat, water, and... |

Production of hydrogen for upgrading of heavy oil: Senior design project--Spring 2009 | 2009-04-22 | oil supply; conventional oil sources; unconventional oil sources; oil shale; synthetic crude production; shale oil | An important technical hurdle to the production of oil from abundant oil shale resources is how to create enough hydrogen for upgrading the heavy oils produced from the shale prior to transport through pipelines. In order to avoid clogging pipelines during transport roughly 350scm (standard cubic me... |
