  • Transition metal carbide chemical looping reforming
    Patent number: 11623862
    Abstract: A process for producing syngas including at least H2 and CO. The process includes the steps of a) generating a transition metal carbide by reacting a corresponding transition metal oxide with a fuel to produce a stream of syngas; and b) combining the transition metal carbide with oxygen to oxidize the transition metal carbide to regenerate the corresponding transition metal oxide, thereby producing a gas output comprising at least one or more oxidized carbon compounds and heat for autothermal operation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 12, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2023
    Assignee: UTI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
    Inventors: Camilla Fernandes De Oliveira, Luis Daniel Virla Alvarado, Nader Mahinpey
