The carbide slag is an industrial waste from chlor-alkali plants, which can be used to capture CO2 in the calcium looping cycles, i.e. carbonation/calcination cycles. In this work, the cycled carbide slag from the calcium looping cycles for CO2 capture was proposed to remove HCl in the flue gas...

Y3+ doped CeO2 nanopowders (Ce0.9Y0.1O1.95, abbreviated as YDC) were synthesized by citrate-nitrate-auto combustion process using cerium nitrate hexahydrate, yttrium nitrate hexahydrate and citric acid. The as-synthesized powders were calcined at 700°C and converted into dense bodies followed...

Nowadays, the global warming is considered as a world problem because it influences the environment by increasing the average temperature of earth surface. One of the greenhouse gases that release from human activities and fossil fuels combustion in industry is CO2. Several technologies are...

In this paper, we experimentally investigated the time evolution of compositions in the gas phase and the hydrate slurry during long-term operations of hydrate-based CO2 separation. We performed continuous gas separation experiments at pressure of 2.3MPa and temperature of 273.2K. We continually...

The iron-based Coal-Direct Chemical Looping (CDCL) combustion process is an alternative to conventional oxy-combustion technologies, where the oxygen used for fuel conversion in the CDCL process is provided by an iron-oxide based oxygen carrier instead of an air separation unit. The iron oxide...

The main drawbacks of developing carbon adsorbents from pine sawdust, an abundant biomass feedstock, are the low carbon yield of the process and the poor mechanical properties of the resulting carbons. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, the effect of the addition of coal tar pitch was...

Since solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) produce electricity with high energy conversion efficiency, and chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a process for fuel conversion with inherent CO2 separation, a novel combined cycle integrating coal gasification, solid oxide fuel cell, and chemical looping...

The objective of this study is to develop a new low-cost, highly selective, and stable sorbent based pre-combustion CO2 capture. A high surface area titanium oxide (TiO2) prepared by a template method and amine modified TiO2 (M-TiO2) were investigated for CO2/CH4 adsorption at conditions...

The objective of this research was to develop a new high-performance CO2 adsorbent with a simple method. Amine hybrid resorcinol–formaldehyde/silsesquioxane composite aerogel (AH-RFSA) was developed through polymeric sol–gel process and supercritical drying (SCD) technique. CO2 adsorption...

Addressing recent environmental regulations on fossil fuel power systems and both biomass fuel supply and coal greenhouse gas issues, biomass/coal co-gasification could provide a feasible transition solution for power plants. In the quest for an even more sustainable process, steam...
