Abstract
Synthesis gas comprising hydrogen, water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons is produced by contacting a gasified hydrocarbon feedstock and an oxidant in a partial oxidation reactor under at least 95% carbon monoxide selective, low hydrocarbon conversion conditions wherein the temperature, pressure, and flow rate conditions in the reactor yield synthesis gas having less than about 2% carbon dioxide. After being cooled, the synthesis gas is separated into high purity hydrogen, high purity carbon monoxide and a hydrogen-carbon monoxide gas mixture by pressure swing adsorption followed by cryogenic distillation or by two or more pressure swing adsorption steps.
