Latest Patents
Ke Li's latest patents include a method for synthesis gas processing and a system using a copper catalyst in two-step reactions at temperatures of 475-525°C and 250-290°C. This invention presents a method of increasing the CO to H2 ratio of syngas. The method involves passing syngas over a first reactor containing copper at a temperature effective for the reaction of CO within the syngas with the copper to form copper oxide and CO. The temperature of the syngas is then reduced to a second temperature effective for the reaction of hydrogen within the syngas with copper oxide to form copper and water. The syngas is subsequently passed over a second reactor containing copper oxide, allowing the hydrogen within the syngas to react with the copper oxide.
Another significant patent focuses on waste processing. This invention provides a method and apparatus for processing material with organic content. The method involves heating a batch of the material in a batch processing apparatus with a reduced oxygen atmosphere to gasify some of the organic content, producing syngas. The temperature of the syngas is then elevated and maintained in a thermal treatment apparatus for a sufficient residence time to thermally break down long-chain hydrocarbons or volatile organic compounds. The calorific value of the produced syngas is monitored by sensors, and when it falls below a predefined threshold, the low calorific value syngas is diverted to a burner of a boiler to produce steam for electricity generation. Conversely, when the calorific value exceeds the threshold, the high calorific value syngas is diverted to a gas engine for electricity production.
