Abstract

Methods and systems to achieve clean fuel processing systems in which carbon dioxide emissions (1) from sources (2) may be processed in at least one processing reactor (4) containing a plurality of chemoautotrophic bacteria (5) which can convert the carbon dioxide emissions into biomass (6) which may then be used for various products (21) such as biofuels, fertilizer, feedstock, or the like. Bacteria that reduce oxidized nitrogenous species (13) may be used to supply reduced nitrogenous compounds to the chemoautotrophic bacteria (5).

Method for direct conversion of carbon dioxide to dialkyl carbonates using ethylene oxide as feedstock

Patent Panchal, Chandrakant B.; Doctor, Richard D.

A method for co-production of high purity dimethyl carbonate and mono-ethylene glycol by applying a reactor, such as a membrane reactor and/or an adsorbent-catalytic reactor by capturing and reacting carbon dioxide with methanol and ethylene oxide. Carbon dioxide may be recovered from primary sources (utilities and industrial processes) by a membrane or solid adsorbent, and subsequently converted to an intermediate hydroxy-ethyl-methyl carbonate by reacting with ethylene oxide and methanol. For high-purity carbon dioxide (obtained by carbon capture technologies or from an ethanol fermentation process), the membrane reactor is replaced with a catalytic reactor for direct conversion of carbon dioxide tomore » « less

Method of assisting the recovery of petroleum in vertically fractured formations utilizing carbon dioxide gas to establish gravity drainage

Patent Schechter, David S.; Zhou, Dengen; Orr, Jr., Franklin M.

The invention relates to assisting the recovery of petroleum from vertically fractured formations utilizing carbon dioxide gas to lower the interfacial tension between the gas and the petroleum in the vertical fractures and in the formation matrix adjacent the vertical fractures to cause vertical drainage of the petroleum down the fracture system. The invention also includes a method for identifying vertically fractured formations which may be particularly susceptible to such recovery with carbon dioxide gas using the capillary to gravity ratio (1/N.sub.B) to select formations having a value for such ratio of 0.2 or less.
