Abstract

The performance of a perovskite-based oxygen carrier for the partial oxidation of methane in thermochemical energy storage applications has been investigated. A synthetic perovskite with formula La 0.6 Sr 0.4 FeO 3 has been scrutinized for Chemical Looping Reforming (CLR) of CH 4 under fixed-bed and fluidized-bed conditions. Temperature-programmed reduction and oxidation steps were carried out under fixed-bed conditions, together with isothermal reduction/oxidation cycles, to evaluate long-term perovskite performance. Under fluidized-bed conditions, isothermal reduction/oxidation cycles were carried out as well. Results obtained under fixed-bed and fluidized-bed conditions were compared in terms of oxygen carrier reactivity and stability. The oxygen carrier showed good reactivity and stability in the range 800–1000 °C. An overall yield of 0.6 Nm 3 of syngas per kg of perovskite can be reached per cycle. The decomposition of CH 4 catalyzed by the reduced oxide can also occur during the reduction step. However, deposited carbon is easily re-gasified through the Boudouard reaction, without affecting the reactivity of the material. Fluidized-bed tests showed higher conversion rates compared to fixed-bed conditions and allowed better control of CH 4 decomposition, with a H 2 :CO ratio of around 2 and CO selectivity of around 0.8. However, particle attrition was observed and might be responsible for a loss of the inventory of up to 9% w .
