Abstract

According to the principle of chemical looping technology, the development of oxygen carriers with high redox performance and low-cost is a prerequisite for the commercial application of chemical looping. In this study, two pyrite cinder samples (Pc-1 with rich Fe2O3 and Pc-2 with rich inert constituents and CaSO4) were investigated as oxygen carriers. The reactivity and cycling stability of the selected samples were studied in a fixed-bed reactor under different reaction temperatures (800 °C, 850 °C and 900 °C). Under 900 °C, the oxygen carrying capacity of Pc-2 sample maintained at around 2.73% after several redox cycles. At the same conditions, the oxygen carrying capacity of Pc-1 sample was about 2.45% in the subsequent multiple cycles. It was observed that Pc-1 sample suffered serious deactivation and surface sintering in the multiple cycle experiment. The Pc-2 sample presented excellent redox performance and anti-sintering ability. When the redox activity of Pc-2 sample reached stable status, the change of reaction temperature showed slight influence on the oxygen carrying capacity of this sample, which indicated that the lattice oxygen in Pc-2 sample revealed high reaction activity. This study provided guidance for screening desired pyrite cinder in the practical applications of chemical looping.
