本篇著重於鐵銅鋁載氧體之研究。首先，在不同鍛燒溫度下製造重量比為3:1:1之鐵銅鋁載氧體，其中以攝氏1200度鍛燒之載氧體擁有最佳的反應性、再利用性及機械強度測試，再分別利用氫氣及一氧化碳作為還原氣體與其在熱重分析儀裡反應，以利分析鐵銅鋁載氧體之還原動力。其中，在氫氣氣氛下，三階反應模型擁有最佳的擬合結果解釋載氧體之還原行為。在一氧化碳氣氛下還原之結果亦是如此。此外，透過固體狀態動力模型確認於氫氣下的淨反應為吸熱。相反地，於一氧化碳下之淨反應為放熱。透過X光繞射分析儀觀察鐵銅鋁載氧體於兩種不同還原氣氛下之還原機制。發現於兩種還原氣氛下，CuFe2O4的晶相會分解成Cu以及Fe3O4。
鍛燒於1200度下之鐵銅鋁載氧體用於固定床中做化學迴路燃燒程序，在900度下進行長時間還原之以利決定操作時間。隨後，在850至925度下進行燃燒效率之評估。結果顯示載氧體轉化率因反應溫度提升而提升。另一方面，鐵銅鋁載氧體鍛燒於1200度下之最佳操作溫度為925度。

In this study Fe2O3-CuO/Al2O3 oxygen carriers were be focused, various sintering temperatures were employed to fabricate the oxygen carriers. Fe2O3-CuO/Al2O3 oxygen carriers, which sintered at 1200°C, possess the optimal performance for reactivity test, recyclability test and mechanical test. In order to clearly understand the reduction kinetics, hydrogen and carbon monoxide as the reducing gas to react with FCA3112 respectively in thermogravmetric analyzer (TGA). Third order reaction (F3) model has the optimal fitting to describe the reduction of FCA3112 under hydrogen atmosphere. On the other hand, the same result was observed for the reduction of FCA3112 under carbon monoxide atmosphere. Moreover, the net reaction, which is verified by solid state model fitting for FCA3112 reduced by H2 atmosphere, is endothermic. By contrast, the net reaction is exothermic under CO atmosphere. Reduction mechanism of FCA3112 under either reducing gas was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). CuFe2O4 spinel decompose to Cu and Fe3O4 both at two kinds of reducing gas.
FCA3112 oxygen carriers were used for chemical looping combustion in fixed bed reactor. In order to determine the reduction time, long term reduction at 900°C was conducted. Subsequently, the combustion efficiency was evaluated at 850-925°C. Results shows the conversion of FCA3112 oxygen carriers increased when the reaction temperature is increased. On the other hand, the optimal reaction temperature is at 925°C for FCA3112 oxygen carriers.
