Basics
- Often abbreviated as CLC
- A form of Oxy-Fuel Combustion Process technology using metal oxides as the oxygen source, thus air never contacts the combustion chamber thus making the formation of nitrogen dioxides near impossible
- Assuming the fuel used is either pure carbon, or methane, there should be no heavy metals or hydrogen sulphide as well
- Uses a Fluidized Bed Reactor, and a Fluidized Bed Combustor / Fluidized Bed Gassifier
- This also lowers the total flue gas volume, and makes the composition near pure carbon dioxide and water vapor
- The water vapor can be condensed leaving near pure carbon dioxide
- RESEARCH NEEDED
- The mechanism of transfer between fluidised beds
- If NOx is produced and how much
- If the oxygen can be diverted to devices such as a Gas Turbine for workflows with Fluidised Bed Gassification making syngas for a gas turbine
- What oxides to use and if they need a substrate etc
