Misiak, K. (author), Sanchez Sanchez, C. (author), van Os, P.J. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)A major consideration for post-combustion CO2 capture is the adverse effect of the presence of SO2 on the absorption desorption process. The most common approach is to remove the SO2 from the flue gases in a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) unit prior the CO2 recovery process. This paper reports the experimental and modeling results of a new...article 2013

de Miguel Mercader, F. (author), Voice, A.K. (author), Trap, H.C. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)Potential production and emission of nitrosamines during post-combustion CO2 capture has drawn some attention due to their toxicity and potential carcinogenicity. One of the possible ways to reduce the concentration of nitrosamines is irradiation of the liquid streams of the capture plant with UV light. This paper shows experimental results of...article 2013

Willems, F.P.T. (author), Mentink, P.R. (author), Kupper, F. (author), van den Eijnden, E.A.C. (author)The potential of a cost-based optimization method is experimentally demonstrated on a Euro-VI heavy-duty diesel engine. Based on the actual engine-aftertreatment state, this model-based Integrated Emission Management (IEM) strategy minimizes operational (fuel and AdBlue) costs within emission constraints by real-time computation of optimal air...conference paper 2013

Hamers, H.P. (author), Gallucci, F. (author), Cobden, P.D. (author), Kimball, E. (author), van Sint Annaland, M. (author)This study reports on the application of chemical looping combustion (CLC) in pressurized packed bed reactors using syngas as a fuel. High pressure operation of CLC in packed bed has a different set of challenges in terms of material properties, cycle and reactor design compared to fluidized bed operation. However, high pressure operation allows...article 2013

(author)The physio-chemical stability of the oxygen carrier material during chemical looping combustion (CLC) operation is crucial. In the present paper we discuss the challenges connected to operating a metal oxide base material in a cyclic manner between oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. Especially, focus has been put on the phase changes occurring...article 2013

Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)Als het aan TNO en diens Russische zakenpartner Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis (TIPS) ligt, worden bij de medium grote olieplatforms de affakkelinginstallaties vervangen door een katalytisch proces. Daarmee krijgt het gas, dat nu nog wordt afgefakkeld, een andere bestemming. De katalysatoren zetten het gas om in gasoline, een vorm...article 2013

Šimor, M. (author), Creyghton, Y. (author)Due to ongoing improvements in polymer-based materials, they are being used in an increasingly wider range of applications. In addition to special bulk physical properties, specific surface properties are often required in particular applications. However, common polymers very often do not possess the desired surface properties. Several...bookPart 2013

van der Ham, L.V. (author), de Kler, R.C.F. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)Post-combustion CO2 capture can have a significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions. However, it also requires a considerable amount of energy, causing a significant decrease in the net electricity output of the power plant it is associated with. A vast array of research initiatives is currently aimed at reducing this decrease. One...conference paper 2013

E.L.V., (author)Removing acid gases such as CO2 and H2S from a gas mixture is nowadays often done using an absorption process. Two essential operating variables of such a process are the amount of active absorbent present in the solvent mixture and the amount of absorbed acid gas. Normally, the solvent concentration and the acid gas loading are measured by...conference paper 2013
