Abstract: The present invention concerns a sorption-enhanced water-gas shift (SEWGS) process for the formation of a CO2 product stream and an H2 product stream, comprising (a) a reaction step, wherein a feed gas comprising COx, wherein x=1-2, and H2O is fed into a SEWGS reactor containing a catalyst and sorbent material capable of adsorbing CO2, thereby forming the H2 product stream and a sorbent material loaded with CO2; (b) a rinse step, wherein steam is fed to the SEWGS reactor, thereby establishing a pressure in the range of 5-50 bar; (c) a pre-blowdown step, wherein the pressure in the SEWGS reactor is reduced to establish a blowdown pressure in the range of 0.5-1.5 times the partial pressure of CO and CO2 in the feed gas of step (a); (d) a blowdown step, wherein the pressure in the SEWGS reactor is reduced to the regeneration pressure in the range of 1-5 bar, thereby releasing at least part of the CO2 from the loaded sorbent material, thereby forming the CO2 product stream; and (e) a purge step, wherein steam is fed to the SEWGS reactor, thereby releasing further CO2 molecules from the SEWGS reactor, wherein the off gas released from the reactor during step (c) is collected separately from the CO2 product stream released from the reactor during step (d). The separate collection of the off gas of pre-blowdown step (c) affords a highly efficient process with excellent CO2 purity and carbon capture ratio.

Abstract: A method for synthesizing ammonia for agricultural fertilizers employs water (H2O) as the source of hydrogen (H2) in ammonia (NH3) synthesis, and gathers carbon monoxide (CO) as a limiting reagent for combining in a WGS (Water-Gas-Shift) reaction for producing hydrogen. The WGS reaction employs CO with the water to produce Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and H2, consuming undesirable CO from other industrial applications. A by-product of the process includes generating 1.5 mole of CO2 for each mole of ammonia synthesized. An intermediate step consumes 3 moles of hydrogen for each mole of Nitrogen (N2). The use of methane gas is avoided as the process employs CO and the WGS reaction as an exclusive source of H2 without introducing methane (CH4). A downstream synthesis of ammonia can be done through a fuel cell to produce electricity for the ammonia synthesis for further sustainability.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for capturing CO2 from a combustion source using molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). The fuel cells are operated to have a reduced anode fuel utilization. Optionally, at least a portion of the anode exhaust is recycled for use as a fuel for the combustion source. Optionally, a second portion of the anode exhaust is recycled for use as part of an anode input stream. This can allow for a reduction in the amount of fuel cell area required for separating CO2 from the combustion source exhaust and/or modifications in how the fuel cells are operated.
