Abstract
A process and apparatus for the enhancement of syngas (CO and H) to fuels production utilizing a carbon based feedstock, (for example coal) by exploiting some, or all, of the hot COproduced during the gasification step, and converting the COthrough electrochemical reactions into oxygen (O) and carbon via a molten salt reactor and directing the oxygen back to the gasifier to minimize or eliminate the need for an oxygen plant, while the carbon by-product (granular carbon) will be used for a variety of adsorbents for environmental applications.
