PhD Title: An analysis of NH3 Dissociation and Oxidation with associated NOx Emission in Flow, Fixed-Bed, and Fluidised-Bed Reactors

Samuel Holden’s work focusses on the dissociation and oxidation or combustion of ammonia in empty-bed (flow), fixed-bed, and fluidised-bed reactors as a means to realise and understand improved reaction efficiencies associated with burning ammonia in the presence of solid media. This research will determine the suitability of ammonia as a fuel for combustion in fixed- and fluidised-bed reactors for zero-carbon emission power generation.

Samuel is currently pursuing his Doctor of Philosophy under the supervision of Professor Dongke Zhang at the Centre for Energy of The University of Western Australia.
