High pressure process for CO.SUB.2 .capture, utilization for heat recovery, power cycle, super-efficient hydrogen based fossil power generation and conversion of liquid CO.SUB.2 .with water to syngas and oxygen
The present invention relates to a high pressure process for Pre-Combustion and Post-Combustion CO.sub.2 capture (HP/MP/LP gasification) from a CO.sub.2 gas stream (CO2-Stream) by way of CO.sub.2 total subcritical condensation (CO2-CC), separation of liquid CO.sub.2, higher pressure elevation of obtained liquid CO.sub.2 via HP pump, superheating of CO.sub.2 up to high temperature for driving of a set of CO.sub.2 expander turbines for additional power generation (CO2-PG), EOR or sequestration (First new Thermodynamic Cycle). The obtained liquid CO.sub.2 above, will be pressurized at a higher pressure and blended with HP water obtaining high concentrated electrolyte, that is fed into HP low temperature electrochemical reactor (HPLTE-Syngas Generator) wherefrom the cathodic syngas and anodic oxygen will be performed. In particular the generated HP oxygen/syngas will be utilized for sequential combustion (“H.sub.2/O.sub.2-torches”) for super-efficient hydrogen based fossil power generation (Second new Thermodynamic Cycle).

Ammonia production method and apparatus for ammonia production
The present invention concerns an ammonia production method comprising the steps of: providing at least one rare earth nitride material or layer in a chamber; creating a vacuum or an inert atmosphere in the chamber; and providing hydrogen H.sub.2 to react with nitrogen N released at an external surface of the at least one rare earth nitride material or layer to produce ammonia.
Modular, Transportable Plug-in Ammonia Producer
A plugin modular, transportable ammonia producing machine is developed that can conveniently produce ammonia from electricity, air and water. The invention includes ammonia synthesis through a plugin modular device. FIG. 5 depicts the overall process flow of the system. Water at state 1 enters the system at room temperature in the water storage tank. Next, at state 2, the water in the storage tank is sent to the circulation pump that delivers water to the air compressor. This is done for two main purposes. Firstly, the circulating water cools the compressor during operation. Secondly, as the circulating water rises in temperature while leaving the air compressor, its temperature increases. This results in an increased inlet water temperature to the proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser that leads to higher water electrolysis performance.
Urea production process and production plant using CO2 producted by oxy-combustion
A urea production process comprises a step of synthesis of urea by reaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide, where at least part of the carbon dioxide for the urea reaction synthesis is produced in an oxy-combustion process; the oxy-combustion process is specifically a flameless oxy-combustion process.
PROCESS FOR AMMONIA SYNTHESIS AND PLANT FOR PREPARATION OF AMMONIA
A process for ammonia synthesis in a synthesis circuit may involve circulating a gas mixture comprising nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia with a conveying device (2) in the synthesis circuit, reacting nitrogen and hydrogen at least partly to ammonia in a converter, and cooling the gas mixture in a cooling device such that ammonia condenses out of the gas mixture. The disadvantages of adsorption drying and of absorption are avoided as hydrogen and nitrogen are introduced at mutually different sections into the synthesis circuit. The process may also involve introducing nitrogen in a flow direction upstream of the converter and/or directly into the converter in the synthesis circuit.
