1. A method for the production of high purity product streams, the method comprising the steps of:
- supplying a hydrocarbon or carbon based feedstock and oxygen to an oxygen-fed process, wherein the oxygen-fed process is an exothermic reaction, to produce an exhaust flue gas, the exhaust flue gas comprising carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen;
supplying the exhaust flue gas to a first reactor, the first reactor comprising a catalyst and being configured to convert at least a portion of the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and produce a modified exhaust flue gas;
supplying the modified exhaust flue gas to a second reactor, said second reactor comprising a catalyst and being configured to convert at least a portion of the remaining carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide to produce a carbon dioxide containing flue gas;
supplying the carbon dioxide containing flue gas from the second reactor to a first condenser to remove water and produce a gas stream containing between 65-80 mol. % hydrogen, between 20-35 mol. % carbon dioxide and between 0-2 mol. % carbon monoxide;
supplying the gas stream from the first condenser to a carbon dioxide stripper to produce a hydrogen stream and a high purity carbon dioxide stream, said hydrogen stream contains at least 95 mol. % hydrogen, and said high purity carbon dioxide stream contains at least 99 mol. % carbon dioxide.

Abstract
Method for the production of ammonia, and optionally urea, from a flue gas effluent from an oxy-fired process, wherein the production of ammonia and optionally urea includes a net power production. Also provided is a method to effect cooling in an oxy-fired process with air separation unit exit gases utilizing either closed or open cooling loop cycles.
