1. Behavior of iron-based oxygen carriers at deep reduction states
Sammanfattning : Oxygen carriers have an important role as bed materials in both common circulating fluidized bed combustion unit (also known as oxygen-carrier-aided combustion, OCAC) and in various chemical looping processes. Contrary to conventional bed materials, e.g., sand, oxygen carriers are capable of transferring both oxygen and heat. LÄS MER
2. Computational Studies of Chemical Interactions: Molecules, Surfaces and Copper Corrosion
Sammanfattning : The chemical bond – a corner stone in science and a prerequisite for life – is the focus of this thesis. Fundamental and applied aspects of chemical bonding are covered including the development of new computational methods for the characterization and rationalization of chemical interactions. LÄS MER
3. Screening of oxygen-carrier particles based on iron-, manganese-, copper- and nickel oxides for use in chemical-looping technologies
Sammanfattning : Capture and storage of carbon dioxide from combustion will likely be used in the future as a method of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and thus be part of the overall strategy to stabilize the atmospheric levels of CO2. Chemical-looping combustion is a method of combustion where CO2 is inherently separated from the non-condensable components in the flue gas without the need for an energy intensive air separation unit.

4. Study of bio-oil and bio-char production from thermal and catalytic hydrotreatment of simulated pyrolysis oil under mild conditions
Sammanfattning : Pyrolysis oil derived from fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is a promising alternative energy source used to produce renewable biofuels. However, the high reactivity of unsaturated oxygenated compounds in pyrolysis oil results in charring and deactivation of the catalyst under severe hydrotreatment conditions. LÄS MER
5. Design and Operation of a 10 kWth Chemical-Looping Combustor for Solid Fuels
Sammanfattning : The use of a 10 kWth chemical-looping combustor for solid fuels was investigated. The unit was designed, dimensioned and built and two types of fuel were tested: a South African coal and a petroleum coke from Mexico. Chemical-looping combustion is an alternative to normal combustion for CO2 capture. LÄS MER
