Bulk monolithic Ce-Zr-Fe-O/Al2O3 oxygen carriers for a fixed bed scheme of the chemical looping combustion: Reactivity of oxygen carrier

In the present work, we describe for the first time the utilization of bulk monolithic oxygen carrier for chemical looping combustion of methane in a fixed bed reactor. Bulk monolithic Ce-Zr-Fe-O/Al2O3 oxygen carrier owns very high activity and stability during the chemical looping process. For the large scale utilization, the monolith makes introducing of the gas feed in multiple points along the reactor to improve the gas-solid reaction possible.177
