Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for producing synthesis gas (syngas) using bio-oil. In some embodiments, syngas is produced by steam reforming bio-oil. In some embodiments, the bio-oil is provided in liquid form. In some embodiments at least some of the liquid bio-oil is transitioned into droplet form when entering a reformer for steam-reforming. In some embodiments, the reformer produces a gas stream comprising syngas, which may be fed to a furnace (e.g., direct reducing furnace, shaft furnace) for reducing iron ore to iron. In some embodiments, the amount of oxygen provided to the reformer is regulated based on an equivalence ratio (ER) corresponding to moles of oxygen fed to the reformer divided by moles of oxygen necessary to achieve stoichiometric combustion of the bio-oil, wherein an exemplary ER value is from about 0.1 to about 0.6.

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.
