prepared by an impregnation method and CO in converter off-gas were investigated using a fixed bed reactor and a thermogravimetric analyzer. Surface area analysis
pulse chemisorption and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the cycle life performance of CuO/Al

. The results show that CuO/Al

exhibit the best reactivity among the three OCs
and the CO conversion at the reaction time of 2 min reach 90% when the reaction temperature is 225℃ or higher. Moreover
CuO/Al

can maintain the high and stable performance of CO removal and mechanical strength at 350℃
a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 4000 h

in the reduction reaction and a GHSV of 159 h

in the oxidation reaction
exhibiting an excellent redox cycle life. Based on these findings
a new process based on CLC has been proposed
with which the intermittently discharged converter off-gas can be safely utilized
thereby achieving the continuous heat supply to users.
