Abstract
Chemical looping air separation gives an energy-efficient choice for oxygen production. We performed kinetic analysis of YBaCo4O7+δ, Y0.95Ti0.05BaCo4O7+δ, Y0.2Ti0.05Dy0.75BaCo4O7+δ, and Y0.15Zr0.1Dy0.75BaCo4O7+δ oxygen carriers in a CLAS process. TG experiments were conducted with heating rates of 0.5, 1, and 2 °C/min in a thermogravimetric analyzer. Further exploration is required to develop an appropriate oxygen carrier. So, we used the model-free approach, Starink method, to evaluate the apparent activation energy. And, masterplots method was applied to determine the most probable mechanism function. The results show that the distributed activation energies of oxidation/reduction process are 189.42/286.22 kJ/mol, 197.70/324.87 kJ/mol, 195.41/310.4 kJ/mol, and 192.20/293.53 kJ/mol for YBaCo4O7+δ, Y0.95Ti0.05BaCo4O7+δ, Y0.2Ti0.05Dy0.75BaCo4O7+δ, and Y0.15Zr0.1Dy0.75BaCo4O7+δ oxygen carriers, respectively. Random nucleation and nuclei growth A model is the most suitable for oxidation process. The A model and D are the most suitable for the reduction process. Regarding YBaCo4O7+δ, Y0.95Ti0.05BaCo4O7+δ, Y0.2Ti0.05Dy0.75BaCo4O7+δ, and Y0.15Zr0.1Dy0.75BaCo4O7+δ kinetic, oxygen transfer materials are rate-determined by nucleation and nuclei growth. For reduction kinetic, the gas diffusion stage could also become a dominant step.
