Abstract
A method for producing a product comprising at least one selected from C2+ hydrocarbons, oxygenates, and combinations thereof from light gas comprising one or more of carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, and methanol by forming a dispersion of light gas in a liquid feed, wherein the dispersion is formed at least in part with high shear forces and wherein at least one of the liquid feed and the light gas is a hydrogen source. A system for carrying out the method is also presented.
Claims24
A method for producing a product comprising at least one selected from C2+ hydrocarbons, oxygenates, and combinations thereof from a light gas comprising one or more gas selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane and methanol, the method comprising:
- forming a dispersion of the light gas in a liquid feed comprising one or more fluids selected from (1) hydrogen sources selected from the group consisting of water, liquid alkanes and paraffinic oils and (2) liquid carriers, wherein the dispersion is formed at least in part with high shear forces and wherein at least one of the liquid feed and the light gas comprises a hydrogen source, whereby the product comprising at least one selected from C2+ hydrocarbons, oxygenates, and combinations thereof is formed.
A method for producing a product comprising at least one selected from liquid oxygenates, C2+ hydrocarbons, and combinations thereof, the method comprising:
- subjecting a fluid mixture comprising a light gas comprising carbon dioxide, methane, or both and a liquid medium comprising one or more fluids selected from the group consisting of water, liquid alkanes, paraffinic oils and polyethylene glycol to a shear rate greater than 20,000 s−1 to produce a dispersion of light gas in a continuous phase of the liquid, wherein at least one of the liquid feed and the light gas comprises a hydrogen source and wherein the dispersion is formed at least in part with at least one high shear device, the at least one high shear device configured to produce a dispersion of bubbles of the light gas in the liquid medium;
- and
- introducing the dispersion into a reactor from which the product comprising at least one selected from liquid oxygenates, C2+ hydrocarbons, and combinations thereof is removed.
