The present disclosure relates to a process for capturing carbon-dioxide from a gas stream. In order to capture the carbon-dioxide, a support is provided and potassium carbonate (K.sub.2CO.sub.3) is impregnated thereon to form an adsorbent comprising potassium carbonate (K.sub.2CO.sub.3) impregnated support. The adsorbent is activated to form an activated adsorbent. The gas stream is passed through the adsorber to enable adsorption of the carbon-dioxide on the activated adsorbent to form a carbon-dioxide laden adsorbent. The carbon-dioxide laden adsorbent is transferred to a desorber for at least partially desorbing the carbon-dioxide from the carbon-dioxide laden adsorbent by passing a carbon-dioxide deficient stream through the desorber. The partially regenerated adsorbent is returned to the adsorber for adsorbing the carbon-dioxide from the carbon-dioxide. The process of the present disclosure reduces the overall energy demand by partially regenerating the adsorbent.

A system and method for processing unconditioned syngas first removes solids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC), then removes volatile organic compounds (VOC), and then removes at least one sulfur containing compound from the syngas. Additional processing may be performed depending on such factors as the source of syngas being processed, the products, byproducts and intermediate products desired to be formed, captured or recycled and environmental considerations.

A method for disposing of excess sulfur dioxide in a flue gas from thermal oxidation of an acid gas stream including hydrogen sulfide recovered from a rich amine solution of an amine plant servicing at least one well head, includes cooling the flue gas to about 300 to about 650 degrees Fahrenheit, injecting a dry sorbent into the flue gas after the step of cooling the flue gas, reacting the dry sorbent after the step of injection, with the sulfur dioxide of the flue gas for sufficient time for formation of reaction byproduct and treated gas, and separating the reaction byproduct from the treated gas. Examples of the dry sorbent include calcium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and trona, as well as magnesium hydroxide and sodium carbonate, and combinations.
