Redox performance of manganese ore in a fluidized bed thermogravimetric analyzer for chemical looping combustion

A key issue for commercial application of chemical looping combustion (CLC) technology is the selection of oxygen carriers (OCs) with good fluidization and high reactivity during the long-term redox operation. Conventional fluidized bed reactors and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) are fail to simultaneously satisfy the fluidization and real-time mass measurement of bed materials. A fluidized bed thermogravimetric analyzer (FB-TGA) combining the...
