X-ray diffraction and TGA kinetic analyses for chemical looping combustion applications.

Synthesis and characterization of supported metal-based oxygen carriers were carried out to provide information related to the use of oxygen carriers for chemical looping combustion processes. The Cu, Co, Fe, Ni metals supported with AlO, CeO, TiO, ZrO were prepared using the wetness impregnation technique. Then, the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) characterization of oxidized and reduced samples was obtained and presented.
