Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING CHEMICAL YIELD FROM GASIFICATION VIA HYDROGEN SUPPLEMENTATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/030776
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
In one aspect, the disclosure relates to a method for supplementing syngas to produce a precursor composition for synthesis of at least one industrially useful chemical, the method comprising contacting the syngas with an external source of hydrogen. In an aspect, industrially useful chemical comprises methanol and the external source of hydrogen comprises hydrogen produced by steam methane reforming (SMR), hydrogen produced by steam injected onto molten metals, or another hydrogen source. In some aspects, the external source of hydrogen comprises hydrogen produced by a halogen acid contacting scrap metal, wherein the halogen acid can be produced by gasifying a halogen-containing polymer such as, for example, polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), or any combination thereof. Also disclosed herein are systems useful for carrying out the disclosed methods.
