| 20120119151 | Method and facility for converting carbon monoxide and water into carbon dioxide and hydrogen, with the removal of at least one product gas - A process for carrying out a carbon monoxide shift reaction is provided. In the implementation of the carbon monoxide shift reaction, including the conversion of carbon monoxide and water into carbon dioxide and hydrogen, this conversion takes place in the liquid phase and involves separation of the product gases carbon dioxide and/or hydrogen, where as a first solvent dry methanol is used, for the absorption of carbon monoxide with simultaneous formation of a methyl formate, as a second solvent, in the area of release of the product gases, water is used, for avoiding hydrogen losses in a carbon dioxide area. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120126178 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERTING CARBON MONOXIDE AND WATER INTO CARBON DIOXIDE AND HYDROGEN, WITH REMOVAL OF ONE OR MORE PRODUCTS - A method for converting carbon monoxide and water into carbon dioxide and hydrogen, with simultaneous removal of one or more products, is described. The method includes the following steps: in a first reactor, carbon monoxide from the gas phase is bound in a first solvent and converted into formate, in a third reactor, formate is decomposed and resultant hydrogen H | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120144860 | PROCESS FOR REMOVING HARMFUL SUBSTANCES FROM LIQUID CARBON DIOXIDE AND APPARATUS FOR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF - A process for removing harmful substances from a gas steam which includes carbon dioxide and substances of value, such as at least one of the gases hydrogen H | 06-14-2012 |
| 20120304689 | Method for Separating a Cleaned Useful Gas From a Gas Mixture, and Device for Carrying Out Said Method - A method is provided for separating a cleaned useful gas from a gas mixture substantially containing carbon dioxide, at least one useful gas, and at least one hazardous substance. The carbon dioxide is condensed, and the liquid carbon dioxide that is enriched with the hazardous substance is separated from the useful gas. The hazardous material is then separated from the liquid carbon dioxide by adsorption, and one part of the cleaned liquid carbon dioxide is fed into the useful gas to absorb hazardous substances still contained in the useful gas. | 12-06-2012 |

The apparatus includes dry methanol, as a first solvent in a first region for an absorption of carbon monoxide with simultaneous formation of methyl formate, and water, as a second solvent in a second region for a liberation of the product gas in order to avoid losses of hydrogen in a carbon dioxide region. | 11-21-2013 |
| 20140013665 | METHOD FOR TREATING CARBON DIOXIDE-CONTAINING WASTE GAS - A hydrocarbon-containing gas is guided to waste gas containing carbon dioxide and the carbon dioxide is at least partially converted into carbon monoxide and hydrogen when reacted with the hydrocarbon. The waste gas is used with the carbon monoxide hydrogen mixture for an additional combustion process. | 01-16-2014 |
| 20140023577 | METHOD FOR TREATING A CARBON DIOXIDE-CONTAINING WASTE GAS FROM AN ELECTROFUSION PROCESS - A method for treating a carbon dioxide-containing waste gas from an eletrofusion process, in which a hydrocarbon-containing gas is fed to a waste gas and the carbon dioxide in the waste gas is converted at least partially into carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a reaction and the carbon monoxide-hydrogen mixture is stored for an additional combustion process. | 01-23-2014 |
| 20140130639 | CARBON DIOXIDE REDUCTION IN STEELWORKS - A method reduces carbon dioxide resulting from a steel production process. The carbon dioxide is reacted with an electropositive metal in combustion to produce carbon monoxide. The resultant carbon monoxide is fed back into the steel production process. In this method, the carbon monoxide can be used in a direct reduction method as a reduction gas or can be fed to a blast furnace process. The reacted metal can also be recovered by electrochemical conversion from its oxides or salts. In particular, a form of regenerative energy can be used to recycle the electropositive metal. | 05-15-2014 |
