In this article, the use of oxygen carriers or redox catalysts for chemical production has been investigated and shown to offer significant opportunities for process intensification and exergy loss minimization.Abstract:
As a promising approach for carbon dioxide capture, chemical looping combustion has been extensively investigated for more than two decades. However, the chemical looping strategy can be and has been extended well beyond carbon capture. In fact, significant impacts on emission reduction, energy conservation, and value-creation can be anticipated from chemical looping beyond combustion (CLBC). This article aims to demonstrate the versatility and transformational benefits of CLBC. Specifically, we focus on the use of oxygen carriers or redox catalysts for chemical production – a $4 trillion industry that consumes 40.9 quadrillion BTU of energy. Compared to state-of-the-art chemical production technologies, we illustrate that chemical looping offers significant opportunities for process intensification and exergy loss minimization. In many cases, an order of magnitude reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emission can be realized without the needs for carbon dioxide capture. In addition to providing various CLBC examples, this article elaborates on generalized design principles for CLBC, potential benefits and pitfalls, as well as redox catalyst selection, design, optimization, and redox reaction mechanism.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the partial pressures of the reacting substances appeared to influence the reaction rate, and a formula depicting this influence was derived, which may be interpreted by assuming two successive reactions, namely the reaction between the aromatic and the oxygen on the surface, and the re-oxidation of the partly reduced surface by means of oxygen.
