摘要
Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) is an emerging technology for CO2 capture because separation of this gas from the other flue gas components is inherent to the process and thus no energy is expended for the separation. Natural or refinery gas can be used as gaseous fuels and they may contain different amounts of light hydrocarbons. This paper presents the combustion results obtained with a Cu-based oxygen carrier using mixtures of CH4 and light hydrocarbons (LHC) (C2H6 and C3H8) as fuel. The effect on combustion efficiency of the fuel reactor temperature, solid circulation flow rate and gas composition was studied in a continuous CLC plant (500 W-th). Full combustions were reached at 1073 and 1153 K working at oxygen to fuel ratios, phi higher than 1.5 and 1.2 respectively. Unburnt hydrocarbons were never detected at any experimental conditions at the fuel reactor outlet. Carbon formation can be avoided working at 1153 K or at phi values higher than 1.5 at 1073 K. After 30 h of continuous operation, the oxygen carrier exhibited an adequate behavior regarding attrition and agglomeration. it can be concluded that no special measures should be taken in a CLC process with Cu-based OC with respect to the presence of LHC in the fuel gas.
