Abstract: Systems and methods associated with biomass decomposition are generally described. Certain embodiments are related to adjusting a flow rate of a fluid comprising oxygen into a reactor in which biomass is decomposed. The adjustment may be made, at least in part, based upon a measurement of a characteristic of the reactor and/or a characteristic of the biomass. Certain embodiments are related to cooling at least partially decomposed biomass. The biomass may be cooled by flowing a gas over an outlet conduit in which the biomass is cooled, and then directing the gas to a reactor after it has flowed over the outlet conduit. Certain embodiments are related to systems comprising a reactor and an outlet conduit configured such that greater than or equal to 75% of its axially projected cross-sectional area is occupied by a conveyor. Certain embodiments are related to systems comprising a reactor comprising an elongated compartment having a longitudinal axis arranged substantially vertically and an outlet conduit comprising a conveyor.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates in certain embodiments to a combined cycle power plant system comprising an electrochemical compressor. For instance, in one set of embodiments, the electrochemical compressor is may separate oxygen from a flow of air from an air source to provide a pressurized flow of oxygen to a combustor. In some embodiments, the resulting combustion products may only include oxygen and water without any substantial fraction of other combustion products or contaminants which may facilitate the separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) for subsequent processes including compression and/or storage.

Abstract: What is disclosed relates to a novel reactor system design for chemical looping solar fuel production processes incorporating temperature swing between two or more zones, wherein two or more individual reactors are employed, and heat is recuperated between the reactors by means including radiative heat exchange. Each individual reactor comprising the overall system is isolated from other reactors and the external environment for gas exchange purposes, so that the inflow and outflow of chemical species from individual reactors can be controlled. Individual reactors are arranged in the form of a moving train, and heat exchange between a pair of reactors is facilitated by radiative exchange. External heat addition and removal between the system and its environment may be achieved by means including radiative heat exchange with the hot source and convective exchange with the cold source. This may include, in a particular embodiment, the use of solar irradiation. The disclosure also includes procedures for operating such a system.
