The potential of partial ammonia (NH 3 ) substitution to improve the safety of hydrogen (H 2 ) use was evaluated, using premixed NH 3 /H 2 /air flames at normal temperature and pressure generated on a tube type burner. The effects of NH 3 substitution on the stability limits and nitrogen oxide (NO...

The Effects of Carbon-to-Oxygen ratio upon Supercritical Water Reformation for Hydrogen Production Jared Bouquet 1 , Ryan Tschannen 2 , Aaron Gonzales 2 , and Sunggyu Lee 2 1: Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MO 2: Ohio University, Athens, OH With the continually growing energy...

In recent years, a large number of studies (feasibility, computational and real time analyses) have been performed on water gas shift (WGS) reaction in membrane reactors. The WGS reaction in a membrane reactor (MR) is potentially capable of completing the CO conversion and achieving simultaneous H...

Hydrogen has been considered as an important alternative energy vector and a bridge to a sustainable energy future. Production of hydrogen efficiently and economically from renewable sources, however, remains a challenge. Among diversified hydrogen production technologies, steam reforming of...

This talk presents the enhanced dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) at 85 o C under CO2, an abundant and naturally occurring material. The presence of CO 2 significantly accelerates the thermal decomposition and it kinetics becomes faster as the CO 2 pressure increases from 1.70 to 3.67 bar...

Due to the concerns of “global warming”, CO2 sequestration from steel industry are becoming more and more important for the environments FeCO3, one of component for steel, was selected to investigate in order to design suitable processing to sequestrate the CO2 at the steel plant. It was found that...

Introduction The production of transportation fuels from biomass, and the use of biomass as a means of carbon dioxide capture and sequestration have been identified as a strategy with potential to address the energy and environmental concerns, including fuel independence, energy availability and...

Chemical Looping Combustion is presently considered as one of the most promising CO 2 capture technology in terms of efficiency penalty and cost reduction. TOTAL and IFP Energies nouvelles are collaborating for the development of chemical looping combustion applications. In order to develop...

The University of Kentucky, Center for Applied Energy Research is investigating oxygen carriers (OC) for chemical looping combustion (CLC) with the goal of developing a pressurized chemical looping combustion/gasification process for generating electricity from coal. An important issue in the...
