The aerodynamic diameters of most elutriated particulates, after passing through a horizontal settling duct, range between 2 and 5 μm. A notable number of submicrometer particulates are also identified. Oxygen carrier attrition was observed to lead to increased CuO loss resulting from the chemical looping reactions, i.e., Cu is enriched in small particles generated primarily from fragmentation in the size range of 10-75 μm. Cyclic reduction and oxidation reactions in CLC have been determined to weaken the oxygen carrier particles, resulting in increased particulate emission rates when compared to those of oxygen carriers without redox reactions. The generation rate for particulates <10 μm was found to decrease with progressive cycles over as-prepared oxygen carrier particles and then reach a steady state. The surface of the oxygen carrier is also found to be coarsened due to a Kirkendall effect, which also explains the enrichment of Cu on particle surfaces and in small particles.}, number={4}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={He, Feng and Linak, William P. and Deng, Shuang and Li, Fanxing}, year={2017}, month={Feb}, pages={2482–2490} } @article{mishra_galinsky_he_santiso_li_2016, title={Perovskite-structured AMn(x)B(1-x)O(3) (A = Ca or Ba; B = Fe or Ni) redox catalysts for partial oxidation of methane}, volume={6}, ISSN={["2044-4761"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84975156629&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1039/c5cy02186c}, abstractNote={High oxygen carrying capacity, lack of loosely bound lattice oxygen, and preferential surface segregation of Ba make BaMnxB1−xO3 (B = Ni or Fe) based redox catalysts suitable for chemical looping reforming of methane with high syngas yield and coke resistance.}, number={12}, journal={CATALYSIS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY}, author={Mishra, Amit and Galinsky, Nathan and He, Feng and Santiso, Erik E. and Li, Fanxing}, year={2016}, pages={4535–4544} } @article{he_li_2015, title={Perovskite promoted iron oxide for hybrid water-splitting and syngas generation with exceptional conversion}, volume={8}, ISSN={["1754-5706"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84929398168&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1039/c4ee03431g}, abstractNote={Under a cyclic redox mode, a perovskite promoted iron oxide exhibited 77% steam-to-hydrogen conversion in a layered reverse-flow reactor.}, number={2}, journal={ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE}, author={He, Feng and Li, Fanxing}, year={2015}, pages={535–539} } @article{he_trainham_parsons_newman_li_2014, title={A hybrid solar-redox scheme for liquid fuel and hydrogen coproduction}, volume={7}, ISSN={["1754-5706"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84901297865&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1039/c4ee00038b}, abstractNote={A ferrite based oxygen carrier promoted with a mixed ionic–electronic conductor support is used in a hybrid solar-redox scheme.

H2 (and liquid fuel) productivity, energy conversion efficiency, and associated CO2 emissions are evaluated based on a consistent set of process conditions and assumptions. The conventional SMR is estimated to be 68.7% efficient (HHV) with 90% CO2 capture. Integration of solar energy with methane in solar SMR and hybrid solar-redox processes is estimated to result in up to 85% reduction in life-cycle CO2 emission for hydrogen production as well as 99–122% methane to fuel conversion efficiency. Compared to the reforming-based schemes, the hybrid solar-redox process offers flexibility and 6.5–8% higher equivalent efficiency for liquid fuel and hydrogen co-production. While a number of operational parameters such as solar absorption efficiency, steam to methane ratio, operating pressure, and steam conversion can affect the process performances, solar energy integrated methane conversion processes have the potential to be efficient and environmentally friendly for hydrogen (and liquid fuel) production.}, number={31}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY}, author={He, Feng and Li, Fanxing}, year={2014}, month={Oct}, pages={18092–18102} } @article{pressley_aziz_decarolis_barlaz_he_li_damgaard_2014, title={Municipal solid waste conversion to transportation fuels: a life-cycle estimation of global warming potential and energy consumption}, volume={70}, ISSN={["1879-1786"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84898919815&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1016/j.jclepro.2014.02.041}, abstractNote={This paper utilizes life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate the conversion of U.S. municipal solid waste (MSW) to liquid transportation fuels via gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (FT). The model estimates the cumulative energy demand and global warming potential (GWP) associated with the conversion of 1 Mg (1 Mg = 1000 kg) of MSW delivered to the front gate of a refuse-derived fuel (RDF) facility into liquid transportation fuels. In addition, net energy production is reported to quantify system performance. The system is expanded to include substituted electricity and fuel. Under a set of default assumptions, the model estimates that 1 Mg of MSW entering the RDF facility yields 123 L of gasoline, 57 L of diesel, 79 kg of other FT products, and 193 kWh of gross electricity production. For each Mg of MSW, the conversion process consumes 4.4 GJ of primary energy while creating fuels and electricity with a cumulative energy content of 10.8 GJ. Across a range of waste compositions, the liquid fuels produced by gasification and FT processing resulted in a net GWP ranging from −267 to −144 kg CO2e per Mg MSW, including offsets for conventional electricity and fuel production. The energy requirement associated with syngas compression for FT processing was significant and resulted in high levels of process-related GWP. The model demonstrates that an increased biogenic MSW fraction, assumed to be carbon neutral, reduced the GWP. However, a greater GWP reduction could be obtained through reduced FT pressure requirements, increased gas reaction rates, or a less carbon intensive power mix.}, journal={JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION}, author={Pressley, Phillip N. and Aziz, Tarek N. and DeCarolis, Joseph F. and Barlaz, Morton A. and He, Feng and Li, Fanxing and Damgaard, Anders}, year={2014}, month={May}, pages={145–153} } @article{he_galinsky_li_2013, title={Chemical looping gasification of solid fuels using bimetallic oxygen carrier particles - Feasibility assessment and process simulations}, volume={38}, ISSN={["1879-3487"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84879093997&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1016/j.ijhydene.2013.04.054}, abstractNote={The chemical looping gasification (CLG) process utilizes an iron-based oxygen carrier to convert carbonaceous fuels into hydrogen and electricity while capturing CO2. Although the process has the potential to be efficient and environmentally friendly, the activity of the iron-based oxygen carrier is relatively low, especially for solid fuel conversion. In the present study, we propose to incorporate a secondary oxygen carrying metal oxide, i.e. CuO, to the iron-based oxygen carrier. Using the “oxygen-uncoupling” characteristics of CuO, gaseous oxygen is released at a high temperature to promote the conversion of both Fe2O3 and coal. Experiments carried out using a Thermal-Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) indicate that a bimetallic oxygen carrier consisting of a small amount (5% by weight) of CuO is more effective for coal char conversion when compared to oxygen carrier without copper addition. ASPEN Plus® simulations and mathematical modeling of the process indicate that the incorporation of a small amount of copper leads to increased hydrogen yield and process efficiency.}, number={19}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HYDROGEN ENERGY}, author={He, Feng and Galinsky, Nathan and Li, Fanxing}, year={2013}, month={Jun}, pages={7839–7854} } @article{zeng_he_li_fan_2012, title={Coal-direct chemical looping gasification for hydrogen production: Reactor modeling and process simulation}, volume={26}, number={6}, journal={Energy & Fuels}, author={Zeng, L. and He, F. and Li, F.
