The present invention demonstrates a solid fuel grade gasification-combustion dual bed poly-generation system, comprising a combustion system, a gasification system, a synthesized gas cooling and purifying system and a synthesized gas methanization system. The combustion system is connected with the gasification system through a circulating material return system. The gasification system mainly adapts the circulating fluidized-bed combustion mode. The gasification system adapts the fluidized-bed incomplete gasification method and the generated semi-coke is returned to the combustion system for re-utilization. The synthesized gas purifying and cooling unit adapts water cycling and combustible recycling. The by-products, CO.sub.2 and steam, in the methanization unit can be recovered, so the maximum utilization rate of energy in this system is realized.

An improved chemical looping combustion (CLC) process and system includes a hopper containing oxygen carrier particles, e.g., metal oxides, that are gravity fed at a controlled rate of flow from the hopper into (a) a generally vertical downflow reactor where they are mixed with all of the hydrocarbon fuel feed to the system and (b) into one or more standpipes that are in communication with a plurality of staged fluidized reactor beds, the amount of the oxygen carrier particles introduced into the system being stoichiometrically predetermined to produce a syngas mixture of H.sub.2 and CO.sub.2; or to complete combustion of the fuel to CO.sub.2 and water vapor, thereby permitting capture of a majority of the CO.sub.2 produced in an essentially pure form.

A process for producing black powder oxygen carriers for use in a chemical looping combustion unit includes the steps of: (a) removing and collecting the black powder waste material that was formed in a gas pipeline; (b) pre-treating the collected black powder to adjust its spherical shape to avoid attrition and fines production; and (c) activating the black powder to increase its reactivity rate and produce the black powder oxygen carrier that is suitable for use in the chemical looping combustion process as an oxygen carrier.

A circulating fluidized bed boiler, comprising a furnace, a loopseal, and a loopseal heat exchanger arranged in the loopseal. The loopseal heat exchanger comprises at least an inlet chamber, a bypass chamber, and a first heat exchange chamber, heat exchanger pipes arranged in the first heat exchange chamber, and a primary particle outlet for letting out bed material from the first heat exchange chamber. The primary particle outlet has at least a first part and a second part separated from each other by a barrier element in such a way that the first part of the primary particle outlet has a first height and a first width, wherein a ratio of the first height to the first width is less than 0.5 or more than 2. Use of the circulating fluidized bed boiler such that fluidizing gas and bed material are let out from the first heat exchange chamber via the primary particle outlet.
