摘要
Chemical looping combustion (CLC) and chemical looping reforming (CLR) are innovative technologies for clean and efficient hydrocarbon conversion into power, fuels, and chemicals through cyclic redox reac- tions. Metal oxide materials play an essential role in the chemical looping redox processes. During reduc- tion, the oxygen carriers donate the required amount of oxygen ions for hydrocarbon conversion and product synthesis. In the oxidation step, the depleted metal oxide oxygen carriers are replenished with molecular oxygen from the air while heat is released. In recent years, there have been significant advances in oxygen carrier materials for various chemical looping applications. Among these metal oxide materials, iron-based oxygen carriers are attractive due to their high oxygen-carrying capacity, cost ben- efits, and versatility in applications for chemical looping reactions. Their reactivity can also be enhanced via structural design and modification. This review discusses recent advances in the development of oxy- gen carrier materials and the mechanisms of hydrocarbon conversion over these materials. These advances will facilitate the development of oxygen carrier materials for more efficient chemical looping technology applications.
化学链燃烧(CLC)和化学链重整(CLR)是通过循环氧化还原反应,清洁高效地将烃类转化为动力、燃料和化学品的创新技术。金属氧化物材料在化学链氧化还原过程中起着至关重要的作用。在还原过程中,氧载体为烃类的转化和产物合成提供所需的氧离子量。在氧化步骤中,耗尽的金属氧化物氧载体从空气中补充分子氧,同时释放热量。近年来,用于各种化学链应用的氧载体材料已经取得了较大进展。在这些金属氧化物材料中,铁基氧载体由于其高携氧能力、显著的成本效益,以及化学链反应在实际应用方面的多功能性而具有吸引力。它们的反应性也可以通过结构设计和改性进一步得到增强。本文综述了氧载体材料的发展及其在这些材料上的烃类转化机制的最新进展。这些进展将有助于氧载体材料的开发,以实现更有效的化学链技术应用。
