  • Publication number: 20200271310
    Abstract: A multi stage set of molten salt based processes for coal gasification, recovery of sulfur from hydrogen, capture of CO2 from gases and processes to store generated electrical energy for later use when it is needed in which excess power can be used to decarbonize fossil fuel to produce hydrogen that can be stored, sequester CO2, and regenerate the hydrogen back to electricity using an advanced power cycle.

  • Publication number: 20160059179
    Abstract: A process for capture of carbon dioxide from gases comprising using Li4SiO4 contained in a molten salt mixture at a elevated temperature and recovering the CO2 captured. Also disclosed is A process for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbons or coal comprising reacting steam and hydrocarbon at conditions that convert them to hydrogen and CO2; contacting the CO2 containing gas so formed with Li4SiO4 contained in a molten salt mixture at an elevated temperature and recovering the CO2 so captured.

  • Publication number: 20120177552
    Abstract: A process for removing CO2 from a gas containing CO2 by reacting it with a magnesium silicate mineral suspended in a molten salt and additionally a process for converting coal or other fossil fuel to hydrogen by reaction the fossil fuel or coal with water in a molten salt at elevated temperatures in the presence of a magnesium silicate mineral suspended in the molten salt wherein the magnesium silicate reacts with CO2 produced in the reaction, thus removing it from the hydrogen product
