Mixed Supports in Chemical Looping

The subject of this project is to investigate the use of various materials in chemical looping combustion on a bench scale. The University of Manchester in Manchester, the United Kingdom will be hosting me during a 3-month internship. The main purpose of this work is to improve the efficiency of the capturing process and lower the cost to obtain a good alternative when dealing with CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. I will study the effects of theses material on many factors such as stability, durability as well as reactivity and investigate the type of gases released during the reaction and their perspective concentrations. At the end of the study I expect to obtain results comparable to the smaller scale that has been tested and verify that the reactor produces the right gases (which are CO2 and vapor water).
