Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a novel method for facilitating CO2 separation from flue gases. The process is composed of two fluidized reactors, an air and a fuel reactor, as shown in Figure 1.2. The fuel is introduced to the fuel reactor in a gaseous form where it reacts with an oxygen carrier to CO2 and H2O. The reduced oxygen carrier is transported to the air reactor, where it is oxidized back to its original state by air. As for the oxy-fuel combustion process, Nox formation is eliminated as oxygen is supplied to the combustor in the form of a metal oxide without any nitrogen present, also giving pure co2 out. The principle of the CLC process is the same as for the oxy-fuel process, where pure oxygen is supplied to the combustor, and it has the same absorption-regeneration nature of post-combustion. 4, record 1, English, - Ca%2Dbased%20looping%20cycle

anaérocombustion : Procédé de combustion pour la production d’énergie, dans lequel on utilise comme comburant, à la place de l'air, un oxyde métallique régénéré périodiquement. Note : L'anaérocombustion permet d’obtenir un flux de dioxyde de carbone(CO2) exempt d’azote, plus facile à récupérer et à conditionner pour le transport et le stockage. Elle fait partie des procédés dits du «charbon propre». 2, record 1, French, - cycle%20d%26rsquo%3Bana%C3%A9rocombustion%20%C3%A0%20base%20de%20Ca

La combustion en boucle chimique (ou «CLC» : «Chemical Looping Combustion»). Ce procédé, similaire à l’oxycombustion, permet de convertir un combustible hydrocarboné directement en CO2 et en H2O. Il évite ainsi le surcoût lié à la séparation en amont de l’oxygène de l’air. L’apport d’oxygène est réalisé via un oxyde métallique, alternativement oxydé à l’air et réduit par le combustible. 3, record 1, French, - cycle%20d%26rsquo%3Bana%C3%A9rocombustion%20%C3%A0%20base%20de%20Ca
