Abstract

A process for producing a carbon monoxide rich product stream by electrolysis of carbon dioxide in an electrolyzer. Due to separation of the respective anode and cathode side product streams, a first off-gas stream containing carbon monoxide is generated at the cathode side, whereas a second off-gas stream containing oxygen is generated at the anode side. Both off-gas streams are supplied to an oxidizing device, in which the oxygen of the second off-gas stream is at least partially reacted with carbon monoxide present in the first off-gas stream to form carbon dioxide, whereby an oxygen depleted stream containing carbon dioxide is formed and recycled to the electrolyzer. A control process is applied which enables a controlled oxidation of carbon monoxide with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Optionally, also hydrogen contained in the first off-gas stream is converted in the oxidizing device to form water.
