摘要/Abstract

摘要： Oxygen carriers (OCs) with perovskite structure are attracting increasing interests due to their redox tunability by introducing various dopants in the structure. In this study, LaNixFe_1-xO₃ (x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0) perovskite OCs have been prepared by a citric acid-nitrate sol-gel method, characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and tested for algae chemical looping gasification in a fixed bed reactor. The effects of perovskite types, OC/biomass mass ratio (O/B), gasification temperature and water injection rate on the gasification performance were investigated. Lower Ni-doped (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) perovskites crystalized in the rhombohedra system which was isostructural with LaNiO₃, while those with composition 0.5 ≤ x ≤ 1 crystalized in the orthorhombic system. Despite the high reactivity for LaNiO₃, LaNi_0.5Fe_0.5O₃ (LN5F5) was found to be more stable at a high temperature and give almost as good results as LaNiO₃ in the formation of syngas. The relatively higher syngas yield of 0.833 m³·kg^-1 biomass was obtained under the O/B of 0.4, water injection rate of 0.3 ml·min^-1 and gasification temperature at 850℃. Continuous high yield of syngas was achieved during the first 5 redox cycles, while a slight decrease in the reactivity for LN5F5 after 5 cycles was observed due to the adhesion of small grains occurring on the surface of OCs. However, an obvious improvement in the gasification performance was attained for LN5F5 compared to raw biomass direct gasification, indicating that LN5F5 is a promising functional OC for chemical looping catalytic gasification of biomass.
