Evaluation of ilmenite, manganese ore, LD slag and iron sand oxygen carriers for chemical looping gasification with microalgae by Daofeng Mei, Francisco García-Labiano, Alberto Abad, Iñaki Adánez-Rubio, Tobias Mattisson

“…The oxygen carrier is reduced to different oxidation degrees (0.2, 0.5, 1) at typical temperatures (850, 900, 950 °C) to define equal material states prior to the gasification. We found that the LD slag and iron sand had the highest gasification rate and fluidized well without agglomeration, thus they are selected as suitable oxygen carriers for the process. …”
