In a chemical-looping combustor (CLC), gaseous fuel is oxidized by metal oxide particle, e.g. oxygen carrier, in a reduction reactor (combustor), and the greenhouse gas COx is separated from the exhaust gases during the combustion. In this study, NiO/bentonite particle was examined on the basis of reduction reactivity, carbon deposition during reduction, and NOx formation during oxidation. Reactivity data for NiO/bentonite particle with methane and air were presented and discussed. During the reduction period, most of the CH, are converted to CO2 with small formation of CO. Reduction reactivity (duration of reduction) of the NiO/bentonite particle increased with temperature, but at higher temperature, it is somewhat decreased. The NiO/bentonite particle tested showed no agglomeration or breakage up to 900degreesC, but at 1,000degreesC, sintering took place and lumps of particles were formed. Solid carbon was deposited on the oxygen carrier during high conversion region of reduction, i.e., during the end of reduction. It was found that the appropriate temperature for the NiO/bentonite particle is 900degreesC for carbon deposition, reaction rate, and duration of reduction. We observed experimentally that NO, NO2, and N2O gases are not generated during oxidation.
