Abstract:
Systems and processes for generating polyethylene are provided. A process includes performing a first reaction with methane and oxygen to produce a first product; performing a second reaction with the first product to produce a second product; separating components from the second product; returning ethane from the second product and performing a reaction simultaneous to the first reaction; performing a third reaction to produce a third product including polyethylene and vented methane; and returning the vented methane to a feed to the first reaction.
Abstract:
Techniques for synthesizing methanol are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the processes include obtaining a syngas mixture from an integrated carbon dioxide hydrogenation process and a methane steam reforming process, and contacting the syngas mixture with a methanol catalyst to obtain a product stream comprising methanol.

Abstract:
Processes for making a syngas mixture including hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the processes include contacting a gaseous feed mixture that includes carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane with a metal oxide catalyst that includes molybdenum and nickel. Catalysts for making a syngas mixture, including molybdenum and nickel are also provided.
