This study examined several candidate raw materials for use as the reactive agents in developing new oxygen carriers for chemical looping combustion. A thermogravimetric analyzer, Mettler TGA/DSC1, was used to measure oxygen capacity and relative reaction rates during oxidation and reduction cycles. The reactive gases used were 4?% hydrogen in inert gas for the reduction cycle and air for the oxidation cycle, with a nitrogen purge between reduction and oxidation cycles. Samples were typically tested for at least ten cycles to study any change in reactivity or oxygen capacity. Reaction temperatures tested ranged from 700 to 900?°C. Materials tested included an iron oxide ore, iron-based tailings from a metals extraction process, a nickel oxide supported on nickel aluminate and a copper oxide plus inert material system. The materials varied in their oxygen capacity, reactivity and the change in properties with repeat cycles. Of the samples tested, the NiO–NiAl2O4 oxygen carrier demonstrated the fastest reaction in reduction and oxidation and had stable properties over ten cycles. The iron oxide ore sample performance declined significantly with repeat cycles. The performance of the iron-based tailings declined slightly over the ten cycles. The addition of inert second phase materials to CuO improved the performance by inhibiting sintering of the oxide at the operating temperature. Although the reactivity of the tailings and iron hydroxide samples was not as high as the NiO based oxygen carrier, they are promising carrier materials due to their low cost and lower toxicity relative to nickel. Future experiments will look at CO and CH4 reduction reactions using the TG, surface characterization using SEM, XRD, and cyclic testing in a batch fluidized bed reactor.
