| Abstract Scope |
In this work, a numerical simulation of a chemical looping combustion process is developed using a commercial CFD software. To carry out this simulation, the eulerian multiphase model and the granular kinetic theory were used to describe the behavior of ilmenite particles with diameters of 150 micrometers in a fluidized bed regime. Chemical looping combustion is a carbon dioxide capture technology that consists of carrying out combustion with the separation of CO2 inherent in the process. This system consists of two interconnected fluidized bed reactors and a set of oxygen-carrying particles. The results show different fluidization regimes in each reactor, an adequate behavior of the particles with the operating conditions used and favorable conditions to carry out the different oxidation-reduction reactions that occur within the chemical looping combustion system. |
