Abstract:
1. A method of chemical looping combustion comprising: placing an oxygen uncoupling oxygen carrier into an oxygen carrier section of a fuel reactor; inserting a solid carbonaceous fuel into a fuel section of the fuel reactor; producing an Me utilizing some portion of the solid carbonaceous fuel to generate gases comprising CO and generate an ash residue; moving the gaseous oxygen through a porous divider separating the fuel section of fuel reactor and the oxygen carrier section of the fuel reactor from the oxygen carrier section of the fuel reactor to the fuel section of the fuel reactor while migrating the gases comprising CO from the fuel section of the fuel reactor to the oxygen carrier section of the fuel reactor and contacting the gases comprising CO and the Me heating the Me causing a combustion reaction in the fuel carrier section of the fuel reactor between another portion of the solid carbonaceous fuel and the gaseous oxygen and generating additional combustion gases comprising CO removing the combustion gases comprising CO displacing the ash residue and the additional ash residue from the fuel section of the fuel reactor.
