  • Plant and process for treating a stream comprising hydrogen sulfide
    Patent number: 11008217
    Abstract: The invention relates to an installation and a method for treating hydrogen sulphide. In particular, the invention relates to an installation and a method comprising at least one system for oxidizing hydrogen sulfide to sulfur (S) and water (H2O) with a solid reagent and at least one oxidizing system with an agent for oxidizing the solid reagent present in the reduced state, wherein the system of oxidizing the hydrogen sulfide to sulfur and the system for oxidizing the solid reagent, are so arranged that the hydrogen sulfide is not brought into contact with the agent oxidizing the solid reagent.

  • Method for dry reforming of at least one alkane
    Patent number: 10252909
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for dry reforming of at least one alkane carried out in at least one reaction chamber, preferably with a catalytic bed, having a stream of gas passing through same. According to the invention, said at least one reaction chamber comprises a catalytic solid which is cyclically and alternatively exposed to a stream of at least one alkane and a stream containing carbon dioxide, such that said catalytic solid is used as an oxidation vector.
