  • Publication number: 20230212761
    Abstract: The present application provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for simultaneous processing of tow waster gases, namely H2S and CO2. In an exemplary process of this disclosure H2S is supplied to anode side of an electrochemical cell, while CO2 is supplied to the cathode side. As a result, valuable commercial products are produced. In particular, SO2 is harvested from the anode side, while synthesis gas, CO+H2) is harvested from the cathode side. An electric current is also produced, which can be supplied to a local utility grid.

  • Patent number: 11618015
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry reforming catalyst in which an active material is impregnated on the surface of a metal oxide support and the active material is surrounded by a surfactant, a method of preparing the same, and a method of producing a synthetic gas using the catalyst. Since the surfactant on the surface of the active material prevents the active material from being sintered and the active material surface from being covered with carbon, the dry reforming catalyst exhibits high activity at high temperature for a long period of time without having to use a precious metal, and thus is useful for the production of a synthetic gas.
