N2 - Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is emerging as a promising alternative to combust coal with the benefit of CO2 capture. In this study, a process flowsheet has been conceptualized for CLC of coal incorporating the recently proposed method of Chemical Looping with Oxygen Uncoupling (CLOU), by researchers at Chalmers. Material and energy balance calculations for the conceptualized process scheme have been performed using ASPEN PLUS. The preliminary analysis of results emphasizes the importance of the oxygen carrier, whose performance will play a vital role in determining the economics of the process. The aim of the study is to help identify the factors which make CLC, an industrially and economically viable process.
