Combustion with full oxidation

D4 the semi-closed CBT or CCGT plant with full oxidation—oxygen supplied to the combustion chamber instead of air, with CO2 removal at low pressure level ... 

In conventional cycles, combustion is the major source of irreversibility, leading to reduction in thermal efficiency. Some novel plants involve partial oxidation (PO) of the fuel in two or more stages, with the temperature increased before each stage of combustion, and the combustion irreversibility consequently reduced. In other plants full oxidation is employed which makes CO2 removal easier. 

It is known that ceria does not react readily with aluminium or boron oxides but Zarur et al were able to deposit up to 25 wt% ceria on boron hexaaluminate (BHA) nanoparticles without forming a separate ceria domain. The ceria deposited on BHA preserved the nanocrystalline morphology up to a calcination temperature of 1300 °G. The GeOg-BHA nanoparticles allowed light-off of a stream of 1 vol% GH4 in air at a low temperature of 400 °G, compared to 540 °G and 690 °G required for Mn- and Go-substituted BHA systems, and attained full GH4 conversion by 600 °G. In addition, various ceria-based materials have been used for VOG combustion with different light-off temperatures as shown in Table 8.2. 

A process development known as NOXSO (DuPont) (165,166) uses sodium to purify power plant combustion flue gas for removal of nitrogen oxide, NO, and sulfur, SO compounds. This technology reHes on sodium metal generated in situ via thermal reduction of sodium compound-coated media contained within a flue-gas purification device, and subsequent flue-gas component reactions with sodium. The process also includes downstream separation and regeneration of spent media for recoating and circulation back to the gas purification device. A full-scale commercial demonstration project was under constmction in 1995. 

The main oxides of nitrogen produced in combustion are NO, with the remaining 10% as NO2. These products are of great concern because of their poisonous character and abundance, especially at full-load conditions.

Fluorine flame calorimetry is a logical extension of oxygen flame calorimetry in which a gas is burned in excess of gaseous oxidant (214). The decision does not reach that of the oxygen flame calorimeter in which, for example, Affj(H20) was determined with a standard deviation of 0.01%. Combustions of H2, NH3 (8), and fluorinated hydrocarbons are typical applications, but the uncertain nonideality corrections of HF(g) prevent full realization of the inherent accuracy. 

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) process is very similar to SNCR with the exception that a catalyst is used to accelerate the reactions at lower temperatures allowing it to be applied to both full and partial-burn regenerators. An SCR system consists of a catalyst bed installed in the flue gas line of a combustion system. Ammonia is injected into the flue gas with air in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst is typically oxide forms of vanadium and tungsten. The ammonia selectively reacts with NOx to form molecular nitrogen and water via an exothermic reaction that has achieved > 90% reduction in NO when applied to an FCCU. 

Fuel-rich propellants (FRPs) with high metal content find use in ram-rockets which operate with the combustion of fuel-rich hot gases generated in the primary chamber or combustor and ram air inducted from atmosphere to a secondary chamber or combustor for full combustion. The rocket system where energy for propulsion is derived in such a manner is termed an integrated rocket-ramjet (IRR). The major benefit of a ram-rocket is substantial reduction in the weight of rocket or missile as the oxidizer need not be carried along with the propellant fuel. Fuel-rich propellant formulations for ram-rockets consist of metal fuels, binder...
