Abstract
Chemical production processes are described herein. The chemical production processes generally include providing municipal solid waste; subjecting the municipal solid waste to plasma pyrolysis to form an intermediate for chemical production, wherein the intermediate includes carbon monoxide and hydrogen; and transferring the intermediate from the plasma pyrolysis to a chemical or liquid fuel production process.
Claims16
A chemical process comprising:
- providing municipal solid waste that does not comprise petroleum;
- subjecting the municipal solid waste to plasma pyrolysis to form an intermediate for chemical production, wherein the intermediate comprises carbon monoxide and hydrogen;
- and
- transferring the intermediate from the plasma pyrolysis to a chemical production process, wherein the chemical production process comprises a methanol production process, a hydrogen production process, or an aromatics production process.

A chemical process comprising:
- providing a feedstock comprising a carbon containing biology based feed;
- subjecting the feedstock to plasma pyrolysis to form an intermediate for chemical production, wherein the intermediate comprises carbon monoxide and hydrogen;
- and
- transferring the intermediate from the plasma pyrolysis to a chemical production process, wherein the chemical production process comprises a methanol production process, a hydrogen production process, or an aromatics production process.
1 more element
A chemical process comprising:
- providing a feedstock comprising a carbon containing biology based feed that is derived from a biogas produced by anaerobic digestion or fermentation of manure, sewage, or combinations thereof;
- subjecting the feedstock to plasma pyrolysis to form an intermediate for chemical production, wherein the intermediate comprises carbon monoxide and hydrogen;
- and
- transferring the intermediate from the plasma pyrolysis to a chemical production process or to a liquid fuel production process.
