Previous works suggested that the iron-based oxygen carrier Fe2O3 with high- index facets [104] showed high activity during chemical looping combustion (CLC). It was also found that Co could be an efficient catalyst for catalytic gasification and conversion of coal. So
an optimized oxygen carrier system Co-Fe2O3[104]/Al2O3 was prepared through orthogonal experiments
and using it as oxygen carrier CLC of lignite was conducted to reveal its features. The results showed that Co-Fe2O3[104]/Al2O3(10%
mass fraction) prepared by morphology control can accelerate oxygen transport and its reduction
leading to an obvious increase of rate and efficiency for the reaction between the oxygen carrier and lignite. Furthermore
multi-cycle CLC of CO
XRD and TEM had been used to characterize the regeneration ability and the stability of optimized Co-Fe2O3[104]/Al2O3(10%).
