Chemical-looping combustion and chemical-looping reforming of kerosene in a circulating fluidized-bed 300Â W laboratory reactor

► Chemical-looping experiments were performed in a 300 W reactor with continuous circulation; kerosene was used directly as fuel. ► Combustion experiments were performed for 34 h under continuous operation. ► Up to 99% of fuel was converted to CO2 and H2O and only a minute fraction of hydrocarbons was detected in the flue gas. ► Reforming experiments were performed for 20 h under continuous operation. ► A synthesis gas with down to 0.01% hydrocarbon content was produced.
