The Calcium Looping process for energy storage: Insights from in situ XRD analysis
(Elsevier, 2021)
This work reports a novel in situ XRD analysis on the multicycle calcination/carbonation of natural limestone and dolomite at relevant conditions for thermochemical energy storage (TCES) in concentrated solar power ...
Article
Kinetics and cyclability of limestone (CaCO3) in presence of steam during calcination in the CaL scheme for thermochemical energy storage
(Elsevier, 2021)
In the present work, we explore the use of steam in the CaCO3 calcination step of a calcium looping process devised for integration into a thermochemical energy storage process (CaL-TCES). Steam produces a double benefit: ...
Article
Steam-enhanced calcium-looping performance of limestone for thermochemical energy storage: The role of particle size
(Elsevier, 2022)
Steam injection has been proposed to attenuate the decay of CaO reactivity during calcium looping (CaL) under operating conditions compatible with carbon capture and storage. However, it is yet unknown whether the perceived ...

Calcination under low CO2 pressure enhances the Calcium Looping performance of limestone for thermochemical energy storage
(Elsevier, 2021)
The Calcium Looping performance of limestone for thermochemical energy storage has been investigated under novel favorable conditions, which involve calcination at moderate temperatures under CO2 at low pressure (0.01 and ...
Article
The Calcium-Looping technology for CO2 capture: On the important roles of energy integration and sorbent behavior
(Elsevier, 2016)
The Calcium Looping (CaL) technology, based on the multicyclic carbonation/calcination of CaO in gas–solid fluidized bed reactors at high temperature, has emerged in the last years as a potentially low cost technology for ...
