Abstract

This work describes the unique capability of a novel chemical looping system that utilizes CO2 as a feedstock for methane reforming. This system uses an iron–titanium composite metal oxide and a co-current moving bed reactor system to yield a higher purity of syngas than the conventional CO2 dry reforming system.
