The continuous combustion of glycerol in a fluidised bed (2018)
Journal Article
Gibson, I., Slim, C. J., Zheng, Y., Scott, S. A., Davidson, J. F., & Hayhurst, A. N. (2019). The continuous combustion of glycerol in a fluidised bed. Combustion and Flame, 200, 60-68. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.combustflame.2018.10.021

It is difficult to burn a liquid fuel inside a fluidised bed. For the first time, liquid glycerol has been burned, when continuously injected into the bottom of an electrically heated bed of alumina particles (sieved to 355–425 µm), fluidised by air....

Pyrolysis of wood pellets in the presence of oxygen carriers in a fluidised bed coupled with a DBD reactor for tar quantification (2018)
Journal Article
Zheng, Y., Grant, R., Hu, W., & Scott, S. A. (2019). Pyrolysis of wood pellets in the presence of oxygen carriers in a fluidised bed coupled with a DBD reactor for tar quantification. Chemical Engineering Journal, 355, 858-870. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2018.08.090

The pyrolysis of wood in the presence of chemical looping agents including Fe2O3, mayenite-supported CuO and mayenite-supported Cu2O was studied from 773 to 1173 K. A continuous tar quantification system, based on a DBD reactor downstream of the flui...

Enhancement of char gasification in CO2 during chemical looping combustion (2018)
Journal Article
Marek, E. J., Zheng, Y., & Scott, S. A. (2018). Enhancement of char gasification in CO2 during chemical looping combustion. Chemical Engineering Journal, 354, 137-148. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2018.07.215

Three chars were gasified in CO2 in a fluidised bed of inert sand or Fe2O3 as an oxygen carrier (either derived from an ore or prepared in the laboratory). Rates of gasification were found to increase with temperature and the presence of active oxyge... Read More about Enhancement of char gasification in CO2 during chemical looping combustion.

H2 production from partial oxidation of CH4 by Fe2O3-supported Ni-based catalysts in a plasma-assisted packed bed reactor (2018)
Journal Article
Zheng, Y., Grant, R., Hu, W., Marek, E., & Scott, S. A. (2019). H2 production from partial oxidation of CH4 by Fe2O3-supported Ni-based catalysts in a plasma-assisted packed bed reactor. Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 37(4), 5481-5488. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proci.2018.05.101

H 2 -rich gas production from CH 4 at mild temperature (673K), was achieved in a single step without introducing a separate oxygen stream. This was conducted in a plasma-assisted packed bed reactor in the presence of Ni-based catalysts doped on an ac...

An examination of Wen and Yu's formula for predicting the onset of fluidisation (2018)
Journal Article
Gibson, I. A., Slim, C. J., Zheng, Y., Scott, S. A., Davidson, J. F., & Hayhurst, A. N. (2018). An examination of Wen and Yu's formula for predicting the onset of fluidisation. Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 135, 103-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2018.05.009

Classical methods (measuring the pressure drop across a bed for different flowrates of air through the bed) were used to determine the superficial velocity for minimum fluidisation, Umf, of sieved particles of alumina. The particles were characterise... Read More about An examination of Wen and Yu's formula for predicting the onset of fluidisation.
