Abstract

Integrated biomass gasification-chemical looping combustion (IG-CLC) was studied using glucose as feed. The IG-CLC experiments were carried out at 700°C and 1 atm while the oxygen carrier re-oxidation was conducted at 550°C and 1 atm. The length of the fuel combustion cycles was 30 sec. Complete reoxidation of the reduced oxygen carrier was achieved in airflow for 5 min. The product analysis of IG-CLC experiments showed that H2O, CO2, CO, and H2 were the main products under the studied reaction conditions. A small amount of CH4 was also detected but no glucose was observed in the product. It is suggested that 100% conversion of biomass (in the case of glucose) and subsequent combustion of the gasified product can be achieved using an IG-CLC approach. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 22nd Annual Saudi-Japan Symposium on Catalysts in Petroleum Refining and Petrochemicals 2012 (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia 11/25-26/2012).
