Thermochemically active iron titanium oxide materials
| DWPI Title: Method for generating fuel/fuel precursor involves thermally reducing mixture comprising ferric pseudobrookite and rutile to reduced iron titanium oxide and oxygen, and reacting reduced iron titanium oxide with reactant |
| Abstract: A thermal oxidation-reduction cycle is disclosed that uses iron titanium oxide as the reactive material. The cycle may be used for the thermal splitting of water and/or carbon dioxide to form hydrogen and/or carbon monoxide. The formed compounds may be used as syngas precursors to form fuels. |
| Use: Method for generating fuel/fuel precursor (claimed). |
| Advantage: The method enables efficient and economical production of the fuel/fuel precursor, and produces a product having enhanced uptake and release of oxygen. |
| Novelty: A method for generating a fuel/fuel precursor involves thermally reducing a mixture comprising ferric pseudobrookite and rutile to a reduced iron titanium oxide containing an iron to titanium atomic ratio of 1:1, and oxygen by heating the mixture using concentrated solar energy, and reacting the reduced iron titanium oxide with a reactant to form a product and ferric pseudobrookite. |
