Definitions
- the present application relates to a method and system for producing a synthesis or reducing gas comprising carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2 ) from various sources of carbon and hydrogen (H 2 ). More particularly, the method of producing the synthesis or reducing gas uses at least a first source of carbon which is CO 2 and at least a second source of carbon comprising a hydrocarbon.
- Carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas mixtures - commonly referred to as syngas or reducing gas - are used in the manufacture of a wide spectrum of commodities such as synthetic liquid hydrocarbons and alcohols. Additionally, they can be used for the production of reducing gases in the metallurgical industry (e.g. direct reduction of iron oxides). To produce such gases, including carbon monoxide (CO), a carbon source is required to fuel the process.
- the carbon source can come from fossil resources such as natural gas or coal. Using a carbon source and water vapor, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen can be produced. Well-known approaches to doing this include natural gas reforming techniques and coal steam gasification.
- GHG Greenhouse Gas
- CO2 is found in ambient air, but also in atmospheric emissions from industrial processes that emit CO2 (e.g. cement works, aluminum works, steelworks, etc.).

- the CO2 thus captured can be used as a carbon source for the production of synthesis gas for the production of a wide spectrum of products with improved carbon neutrality, ie, whose production and use cycle involves little net GHG emissions, when CO2 comes from biogenic sources or ambient air. It is thus possible to produce synthetic fuels with increased carbon neutrality, which can be used in existing infrastructure. It is also possible to produce synthesis gases that can be used for the formulation of reducing gases for the metallurgical industry (eg, for the direct reduction of metal oxides).

- the synthesis gas which is obtained at the outlet of the reactor is generally cooled and then used in a subsequent chemical synthesis.
- the method described in this document can make it possible to produce synthesis gases based on CO and H 2 which are balanced, ie, with appropriate proportions of CO and H 2 , to then allow the production of a variety of products by conventional chemical syntheses.
- It is also possible to adjust the proportion of CO and H 2 in the synthesis gas by controlling the temperature and possibly the pressure in each reaction zone of the reactor.
- This pressure is generally around atmospheric pressure and can typically vary between 1 and 5 bars (absolute pressure), for each zone.
- the absolute pressure in the first zone can range from 1 to 5 bars, or from 1 to 4 bars, or from 1 to 3 bars, or from 1 to 2 bars.
- the absolute pressure in the first zone may be about 1 bar, about 2 bar, about 3 bar, about 4 bar, about 5 bar, or any pressure value in between.

- the synthesis gas produced by the present method is used as a reducing agent for the metallurgical industry, among others, for the direct reduction of metal oxides, particularly iron oxides.
- the method of producing synthesis gas described above and the reactor that can be used to carry out this method therefore have several advantages.
- the reagents are easily accessible and can be derived from renewable sources and the method is simple to implement. It is not necessary to resort to the use of solid catalysts.
- a low carbon footprint eg, green, blue, turquoise and/or pink hydrogen.
- the method also makes it possible to take advantage of the water vapor generated during the reduction of CO2, by using it to produce the synthesis gas. This avoids having to condense a large quantity of water as is done in other known methods and avoids an indirect loss of hydrogen via water vapor.
- the method has a beneficial environmental effect by recycling CO2 while allowing the efficient conversion of other carbon sources such as fossil hydrocarbons, such as methane for example.
- the method allows for an overall conversion to CO of the carbon entering the reactor, which is significant while being flexible through the relative and in situ conversions of CO2 and hydrocarbon(s).
- the reactor consists of an external alumina tube (99.8% AI2O3) with 13.54 mm internal diameter and 19.05 mm external diameter over a length of 212 mm.
- the reaction volume is 33 cm 3 .
- the gas entry is achieved by means of three spaces, a central space and two annular spaces defined by the end of two concentric alumina tubes: a central tube and a middle tube.
- These two concentric tubes respectively have the following dimensions: an internal diameter of 6.31 mm with an external diameter of 4.11 mm for the central tube, and an internal diameter of 8.48 mm with an external diameter of 12.34 mm for the middle tube.
- the end of the central tube defines the passage of the oxidizing flow 16 of the first zone of the reactor, while the annular space between the external diameter of the central tube and the internal diameter of the middle tube is found to define the passage of the reducing flow 18 of the first reaction zone. Finally, the annular space between the inner diameter of the outer tube and the outer diameter of the middle tube is found to define the passage of the second reducing flow of the second reaction zone 24.
- the external alumina tube which defines the wall of the reaction chamber, is itself surrounded - over the entire length of the reactor - by an insulating envelope based on calcium silicate (thermal conductivity of 0.3 W/ mK, density of 1.36 g/cm 3 ) of cylindrical shape having an external diameter of 132 mm and an internal diameter of 20 mm (not shown in Figure 7).
- the purpose of the insulating envelope is to ensure a certain thermal insulation of the reactor so as to minimize heat losses.
- oxygen is mixed with CO2 and this mixture constitutes the oxidizing flow 16 of the first reaction zone.
- the hydrogen supplied constitutes the reducing flow 18 of the first zone.
- methane is supplied to constitute the reducing flow 24 of the second zone while for the second example, it is a mixture of methane and water vapor which constitutes the reducing flow 24 of the second zone.
- the methane-water vapor mixture is produced by a device for hot saturation of the methane flow in the presence of a controlled flow of water.
- the table provides the analysis of the gas exiting the reactor as determined by mass spectrometry. From the volume composition of the gas, the ratio S equal to (H 2 -CO2)/(CO+CO2) is calculated on the basis of the respective volume fraction of each of the gases H 2 , CO2 and CO of the dry gas obtained . The conversion rate of methane and that of CO2 are calculated from the atomic balances and from the composition of the gas (dry basis) as obtained by gas analysis by mass spectrometry. In the table, we also present the conversion rate into CO, of the total carbon entering in the reactor, i.e. the carbon contained in the CO2 supplied plus the carbon contained in the CH 4 supplied.
- the table also presents the temperature as measured using a thermocouple located 25 mm from outlet 28 of the reactor.
- the measured temperature value is used to calculate the average residence time of the reactants (i.e. all of the gases supplied) in the reactor, based on the reaction volume as described above and considering that the reactor operates at atmospheric pressure.
- Examples 1, 2 and 3 as presented in Table 1 demonstrate the flexibility of the method and the system according to the present description. This flexibility essentially results from the geometric distinction of the reactive zones in the reactor.
- the configuration used in these examples offers the advantage of obtaining a fairly wide and flexible range of relative and in situ conversions of CH 4 and CO2 while ensuring an overall and significant conversion of the incoming carbon. in the reactor (at least 70%).
- the results of Examples 1 and 2 show that the supply of water vapor is not critical for achieving high methane conversion. Indeed, adding water to the second zone only slightly increases the conversion of methane (from 79% to 83%) (by reaction (E)) but promotes a reduction in the conversion of CO2 probably into favoring the opposite of reaction (A).
- Example 3 show that a high and equivalent conversion of CH 4 and CO2 is achievable by the addition of a certain quantity of excess hydrogen in the first zone (9 vs. 6 sL/min). Indeed, this excess hydrogen seems to help convert CO2 more efficiently in the first zone by reaction (A)).
- the conversion of CH 4 is not significantly affected by the increase in the conversion of CO2 due to the fact that this CH 4 is supplied separately in the second zone.
