Abstract
In the liquid phase reforming (LPR) of oxygenated C,H-containing compounds such as alcohols, various strategies are disclosed for managing byproduct CO. Important processing options include those in which electrolyte, consumed in capturing or precipitating the COgenerated from LPR, is regenerated or not regenerated, with carbon emissions potentially being avoided in the latter case. With regeneration, different chemistries are possible, such as in the case of a regeneration cycle utilizing hydroxide anions to precipitate a solid, carbonate form of COthat is generated from reforming. Alternatively, a reaction and regeneration system may use carbonate anions to 'capture' COand thereby maintain it as aqueous, solubilized bicarbonate form.
