Fixed-Bed and Fluidised-Bed Dissociation and Oxidation of NH3

Samuel Ronald Holden 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. His 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.
