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: ...

Effect of Steam Injection during Carbonation on the Multicyclic Performance of Limestone (CaCO3) under Different Calcium Looping Conditions: A Comparative Study
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
This study explores the effect of steam addition during carbonation on the multicyclic performance of limestone under calcium looping conditions compatible with (i) CO2 capture from postcombustion gases (CCS) and with (ii) ...
Article
Role of particle size on the multicycle calcium looping activity of limestone for thermochemical energy storage
(Elsevier, 2020)
The calcium looping process, based on the reversible reaction between CaCO3 and CaO, is recently attracting a great deal of interest as a promising thermochemical energy storage system to be integrated in Concentrated Solar ...

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 ...

Calcium-Looping Performance of Biomineralized CaCO3 for CO2 Capture and Thermochemical Energy Storage
(ACS Publications, 2020-07)
The commercial deployment of calcium-looping (CaL)-based technologies relies on the availability of nontoxic, widely available and cheap CaCO3 rich materials. Biomineralized CaCO3 from waste amply fulfills the aforementioned ...
