As a result of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), several countries committed to phasing down coal electricity as soon as possible, deactivating …
Ignition of iron particles in an oxidizing environment marks the onset of self-sustained combustion. The objective of the current study is to quantitatively examine the ignition …
Storing electrical energy for long periods and transporting it over long distances is an essential task of the necessary transition to a CO 2-free energy economy. An oxidation …
This work investigated the ignition and combustion process of single micron-sized iron particles in the hot gas flow of burned methane-oxygen-nitrogen mixture. The particle …

High-temperature oxidation of single iron particles is experimentally investigated for laminar flow conditions using multi-parameter optical diagnostics. Iron particles with initially porous …
Despite extensive research on reduction of iron oxides in literature, there is no consensus on the most accurate reduction kinetics, especially for micron-sized iron oxide powders with …
To successfully transition from fossil-fuel to sustainable carbon-free energy carriers, a safe, stable and high-density energy storage technology is required. The combustion of iron …
Temporally, spatially, and thermally resolved measurements of in situ nanoparticle cloud formation during combustion of single micron-sized iron particles are carried out. The critical …
Micrometric spherical particles of iron in two narrow size ranges of (38–45) µm and (45–53) µm were injected in a bench scale, transparent drop-tube furnace (DTF), electrically heated …
