Rate My Professor Hui Song

Dr. Song's academic interests center on chemical looping air separation, chemical looping combustion, flue gas cleaning for coal-fired power plants, and hydrogen energy, aligned with chemical and thermal processes in energy and combustion. As an investigator, he has participated in multiple research grants totaling approximately $595,000, including projects on computational fluid dynamic modeling of generic VAM abatement plants under hot and cold flow conditions, and optimizing gap distances between mine fan outlets and VAM capture duct inlets, in collaboration with Laureate Professor Behdad Moghtaderi, Dr. Jafar Zanganeh, and others, funded by Centennial Coal Company Limited - Fassifern. Notable publications include 'Reactivity of Al2O3- or SiO2-Supported Cu-, Mn-, and Co-Based Oxygen Carriers for Chemical Looping Air Separation' (Energy & Fuels, 2014), 'Analysis on Chemical Reaction Kinetics of CuO/SiO2 Oxygen Carriers for Chemical Looping Air Separation' (Energy & Fuels, 2014), 'Development of a Cu-Mg-Based Oxygen Carrier with SiO2 as a Support for Chemical Looping Air Separation' (Energy & Fuels, 2014), 'A Novel Hybrid Chemical-Looping Oxy Combustor Process for the Combustion of Solid and Gaseous Fuels: Thermodynamic Analysis' (Energy & Fuels, 2015), 'Integration Options and Economic Analysis of an Integrated Chemical Looping Air Separation Process for Oxy-fuel Combustion' (Energy & Fuels, 2016), and recent contributions such as 'Detonation of H2-Air-Steam Mixtures: A Potential Hazard in Large-Scale Electrolyzer and Fuel Cell Installations' (Processes, 2024) and 'A critical review and assessment of ammonia dissociation/synthesis cycle for solar energy storage' (Journal of Energy Storage, 2026). These works underscore his impact on clean energy, combustion efficiency, and emissions reduction strategies.
