Chemical looping air separation (CLAS) is considered as a novel process for the economic production of oxygen in the advanced clean coal technologies, such as oxy-fuel combustion and integrated gasification combined cycles (IGCC). In the CLAS process, oxygen is separated from air via the cyclic redox reactions of oxygen carriers, i.e., the oxidation in air and the reduction under the inert gases, such as steam and/or CO2. The performance of the oxygen carrier, therefore, plays a crucial role in determining the feasibility of the CLAS process and its operating costs. The present study is aiming for the development of an impregnated Cu–Mg-based oxygen carrier with SiO2 as a support for CLAS, with a particular focus on improving the long-term stability of the CuO/SiO2 carrier. The reactivity of Cu–Mg–SiO2 oxygen carriers was evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at the temperatures between 850 and 950 °C in air and N2 environments for the oxidation and reduction, respectively. The results indicate...
