Calcium and Iron Oxide Reactivity Studies for Chemical Looping Applications of Clean Energy Conversion Calcium and Iron Oxide Reactivity Studies for Chemical Looping Applications of Clean Energy Conversion DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Niranjani Deshpande Graduate Program in Chemical Engineering The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Liang-Shih Fan, Advisor Professor Bhavik R. Bakshi Professor David L. Tomasko Copyright by Niranjani Deshpande 2015 Abstract The following study entails independent investigations carried out on the reactivity of metal oxides involved in the calcium and chemical looping applications. The Chapters 2 through 5 involve studies on the various applications and aspects of the calcium looping process, and Chapter 6 and 7 discuss two independent investigations of chemical looping oxygen carrier particles. The hydration of calcium oxide (CaO) sorbent has been investigated as a reactivation method in the three step calcium looping process for pre and post combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. The feasibility of the process concept was established using lab scale fixed bed reactor setup, and reactivation of sorbent was achieved with high temperature steam at 500°C over multiple cycles. Further development of the design and operation of a fluidized bed hydrator is reported upon, and fast fluidization regime was identified as the most suitable for a scalable steam hydrator design. Further, a screening study was conducted on multiple egg and sea shells as a renewable source of the CaO sorbent, and excellent reactivity towards CO2 is reported. A novel method for the simultaneous cleanup of CO2, SOx and NOx impurities from coal combustion flue gas is proposed based on the calcium looping process. Proof of concept experiments were performed and 90% CO2 and NO and 100% SO2 removal was demonstrated at 1 atm, 650°C fixed bed experiments, using the calcium sorbent and coal char. For pre- ii combustion application of the calcium looping process (CLP), the fate of sulfurous species is explored, which are formed as a byproduct of the coal to H2 plant with the CLP. The CaS formed in the carbonator at the operating conditions of about 600°C and 23 bar is found to be oxidized to CaSO4 at the calciner operating conditions of the CLP. Treatment options for the purge stream are discussed for the oxidation of unreacted CaS for the safe disposal and integration with the cement industry. In the latter half of the present study, the iron-based metal oxide oxygen carriers are investigated for the chemical looping partial oxidation (CLPO) of CH4 for the production of syngas at elevated pressures. The favorable impact of increased pressure on the redox reaction rates is illustrated through experiments conducted on the iron-titanium complex metal oxide (ITCMO) particles between 1 and 10 atm at 900-950°C in a thermogravimetric setup. The observed change in morphology through SEM and BET analysis at increased pressures is related to the change in reactivity obtained. Lastly, an application of chemical looping gasification (CLG) for the coproduction of H2 and electricity is explored. Specifically, the recyclability of iron based oxygen carriers is investigated in steam redox environments using a specialized thermogravimetric setup. Isothermal tests are conducted for 20 redox cycles using steam as the oxidizing agent for iron and cobalt based metal oxide oxygen carriers at 900°C. MgAl2O4 is used as an inert support. While cobalt-based samples exhibited a loss in reactivity, the excellent recyclability of iron-based oxygen carriers has thus been established. iii This document is dedicated to my little brother, Sukumar.

  • Earth Systems Science Grades 9-12
    Earth Systems Science Grades 9-12 Lesson 2: The Irony of Rust The Earth can be considered a family of four major components; a biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. Together, these interacting and all-encompassing subdivisions constitute the structure and dynamics of the entire Earth. These systems do not, and can not, stand alone. This Module demonstrates, at every grade level, the concept that one system depends on every other for molding the Earth into the world we know. For example, the biosphere could not effi ciently prosper as is without gas exchange from the atmosphere, liquid water from the hydrosphere, and food and other materials provided by the geosphere. Similarly, the other systems are signifi cantly affected by the biosphere in one way or another. This Module uses Earth’s systems to provide the ultimate lesson in teamwork. March 2006 2 JOURNEY THROUGH THE UNIVERSE Lesson 2: The Irony of Rust Lesson at a Glance Lesson Overview In this lesson, students will investigate the chemistry of rust—the forma- tion of iron oxide (Fe2O3)—within a modern context, by experimenting with the conditions under which iron oxide forms. Students will apply what they have learned to deduce the atmospheric chemistry at the time that the sediments, which eventually became common iron ore found in the United States and elsewhere, were deposited. Students will interpret the necessary formation conditions of this iron-bearing rock in the context of Earth’s geochemical history and the history of life on Earth. Lesson Duration Four 45-minute class periods plus 10 minutes a day for maintence and observation for two weeks Core Education Standards National Science Education Standards Standard B3: A large number of important reactions involve the transfer of either electrons (oxidation/reduction reactions) or hydrogen ions (acid/base reactions) between reacting ions, molecules, or atoms.

  • Banded Iron Formations
    Banded Iron Formations Cover Slide 1 What are Banded Iron Formations (BIFs)? • Large sedimentary structures Kalmina gorge banded iron (Gypsy Denise 2013, Creative Commons) BIFs were deposited in shallow marine troughs or basins. Deposits are tens of km long, several km wide and 150 – 600 m thick. Photo is of Kalmina gorge in the Pilbara (Karijini National Park, Hamersley Ranges) 2 What are Banded Iron Formations (BIFs)? • Large sedimentary structures • Bands of iron rich and iron poor rock Iron rich bands: hematite (Fe2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4), siderite (FeCO3) or pyrite (FeS2). Iron poor bands: chert (fine‐grained quartz) and low iron oxide levels Rock sample from a BIF (Woudloper 2009, Creative Commons 1.0) Iron rich bands are composed of hematitie (Fe2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4), siderite (FeCO3) or pyrite (FeS2). The iron poor bands contain chert (fine‐grained quartz) with lesser amounts of iron oxide. 3 What are Banded Iron Formations (BIFs)? • Large sedimentary structures • Bands of iron rich and iron poor rock • Archaean and Proterozoic in age BIF formation through time (KG Budge 2020, public domain) BIFs were deposited for 2 billion years during the Archaean and Proterozoic. There was another short time of deposition during a Snowball Earth event. 4 Why are BIFs important? • Iron ore exports are Australia’s top earner, worth $61 billion in 2017‐2018 • Iron ore comes from enriched BIF deposits Rio Tinto iron ore shiploader in the Pilbara (C Hargrave, CSIRO Science Image) Australia is consistently the leading iron ore exporter in the world. We have large deposits where the iron‐poor chert bands have been leached away, leaving 40%‐60% iron.

The catalytic activities of Cu/ZrO2_CaO catalysts were investigated on CO2 hydrogenation. The CO2 hydrogenations were carried out over combination of calcium oxide and Cu/ZrO2 catalyst. Two calcination temperatures were chosen at 300 and 650 oC according to thermal decomposition results. The catalysts were characterized by means of N2 adsorption-desorption, H2 temperature programmed reduction and X-ray diffraction. The CO2 hydrogenation under atmospheric pressure and at 250 oC was carried out over copper-based catalysts combined with calcium oxide namely i.e. Cu/ZrO 2 _CaO300, Cu/ZrO 2 _CaO650, Cu/ZrO2_Cu/CaO and Cu/ZrO2+CaO. The catalytic activities over all catalysts were consistent for 4 hours. The catalytic reaction rates over copper-based catalysts were in the range of 21.8 – 47.4 mol L-1 s-1 g cat-1. The modification of calcium oxide can improve the catalytic activity of copper-based catalysts to 47.4 mol L-1 s-1 g cat-1. The calcination temperature can cause a difference in active species that impact on product selectivity.

  • 05/2203 Iron Oxide Extraction from Lunar and Martian Regoliths
    05/2203 Iron oxide extraction from lunar and Martian regoliths Type of activity: Medium Study (4 months, 25 KEUR) Background The Reformer iron Sponge Cycle (RESC) has been proposed as a valid process to produce highly pure hydrogen from virtually any kind of hydrocarbon fuel on a bed of iron oxide (magnetite Fe3O4), present in the soils of the Moon and Mars. The process has been investigated in the frame of the Ariadna Call for Proposals 04/01 in view of future long-term manned lunar and Martian exploration. The process permits to operate a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell for electrical power generation by producing hydrogen from either high energy density fuels brought from Earth or from fuels produced in situ (e.g. methane from the Sabatier process of from biomass decomposition). Fuels are converted into a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in a reforming reactor. In the following Iron Sponge Cycle iron oxide (magnetite/wuestite) is initially reduced by hydrogen and carbon monoxide to a lower oxide or down to iron metal with production of water steam and carbon dioxide. In a second step water steam is passed on the formed iron metal bed; iron oxide is replenished and water steam is reduced to highly pure hydrogen which can be fed without further purification treatments to the anodic compartment of a fuel cell for electrical power generation. The contact mass (iron/iron oxide) properties as size, porosity and composition of the pellets are very critical. The use of pure iron would theoretically maximise the efficiency of the cycle; the lifetime of the pellets is however limited by sintering effects.

Infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been employed to reveal the correlation between the vibrational frequencies of the hydroxyl groups and the distinct hydroxylated surface phases that develop as a function of water exposure. In the low-coverage regime, water monomers, small water clusters, and one-dimensional water chains are formed on the CaO(001) surface. At increasing water coverages, water-induced structural disorder is observed, indicating 2+ partial solvation of Ca ions. Partial transformation of CaO(001) into a Ca(OH)2-like phase occurs upon dosing of water at submillibar water pressure. In addition, it was found that interfacial hydroxyl groups formed on the CaO(001) surface during water exposure at temperatures as low as 100 K shift the temperatures for ice desorption and for the transition from amorphous solid water to crystalline ice by 10 K as compared to those for the nonhydroxylated MgO surface.
