Abstract

A concept of distributed multigeneration during combustion of homogenized solid fuels with the addition of oxygen-enriched (to 30–50%) air is proposed. To implement this concept, application of medium-temperature δ-Bi2O3/Ag-nanocermet-based membranes is suggested under low pressures and sweeping of oxygen by the cleaned exit gas or the air. The primary product of the multigeneration is microsphere materials. The heat, the AC and the DC electric energy, the cleaned exit gases with a high CO2 content, and volatile elements adsorbed by the filters are the secondary products. To completely clean the exit gases, which is necessary to implement the distributed multigeneration, an array of successive passive plants is proposed. A thermoelectric module based on a BiTeSb-skutterudite nanocomposite is effective in generation of the DC electric energy at microthermoelectric power plants.
