Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A pure oxygen direct combustion system using a liquid metal according to the present invention comprises: a reactor for receiving a liquid metal; a heat exchanger, connected to the bottom of the reactor, for exchanging heat for the liquid metal; a circulation pump, connected to the heat exchanger, for circulating the incoming liquid metal; a nozzle, connected to the circulation pump and disposed on the reactor; a reduction unit, connected to the circulation pump, for performing a reduction for the oxidized liquid metal; and a separation unit, connected to the reactor and the reduction unit, wherein the particles of the liquid metal injected from the nozzle are subjected to sensible heat from the gas generated from the reactor, heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger and regenerated by the reduction unit, and then supplied back to the reactor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A pure oxygen direct combustion system using a liquid metal, the pure oxygen direct combustion system comprising: a reactor in which a liquid metal is fulfilled; a heat exchanger connected to a lower portion of the reactor such that heat is exchanged between the liquid metal and the heat exchanger; a circulation pump connected to the heat exchanger to circulate the liquid metal; and a nozzle connected to the circulation pump and situated on the r…
