The Zhundong coal reserve in China is abundant and characterized by high sodium content. The present work investigated the chemical looping combustion (CLC) performance using the high sodium-based Zhundong coal as fuel
CO2 as gasification agent and iron ore as oxygen carrier. The experiments were performed in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor. Effects of coal particle size
reaction temperature
fluidization velocity and coal char particle size on the escaping behavior of combustible gases during CLC process of coal or coal char were evaluated. Meanwhile
the effect of minerals in the coal on char gasification was investigated. The results indicated that in the CLC process using bubbling bed as reactor
segregation is present due to the large difference of fluidizing properties between oxygen carrier materials and coal. Volatile as well as char conversion are influenced in CLC process due to the presence of segregation. A high fluidization velocity remarkably enhances the mixing between oxygen carrier and solid coal/char particles and reduces the negative influence of segregation. Consequently
the combustible gases escaping is reduced and char gasification rate is increased. The minerals in coal char can maintain fast gasification rate of coal char.
