• An advancement in CO2 utilization through novel gas switching dry reforming 

      Ugwu, Ambrose; Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      This study is the first experimental demonstration of CO2 capture and utilization for dry methane reforming using a novel chemical looping concept, “Gas Switching Dry Reforming” (GSDR) to produce syngas. The new reactor ...
    • Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage in Methanol Production Using a Dry Reforming-Based Chemical Looping Technology 

      Ugwu, Ambrose; Osman, Mogahid; Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      This further investigates the concept of gas switching dry reforming (GSDR) that efficiently converts the two major greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) into a valuable product (syngas) for gas-to-liquid (GTL) syntheses. The ...
    • Combined Syngas and Hydrogen Production using Gas Switching Technology 

      Ugwu, Ambrose; Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Donat, Felix; van Diest, Geert; Albertsen, Knuth; Müller, Christoph; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      This paper focuses on the experimental demonstration of a three-stage GST (gas switching technology) process (fuel, steam/CO2, and air stages) for syngas production from methane in the fuel stage and H2/CO production in ...
    • Gas Switching Reforming (GSR) for syngas production with integrated CO2 capture using iron-based oxygen carriers 

      Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Dahl, Paul Inge; Ugwu, Ambrose; Tolchard, Julian R; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The process behavior of a Gas Switching Reforming (GSR) reactor was studied using three different iron-based oxygen carrier materials: Iron-oxide on Alumina, Iron-Nickel oxide on Alumina and Iron-Ceria on Alumina. It was ...
    • Gas Switching Reforming for syngas production with iron-based oxygen carrier-the performance under pressurized conditions 

      Ugwu, Ambrose; Zaabout, Abdelghafour; Tolchard, Julian R; Dahl, Paul Inge; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      A four-stage Gas Switching Reforming for syngas production with integrated CO2 capture using an iron-based oxygen carrier was investigated in this study. The oxygen carrier was first reduced using dry methane, where high ...
