A process that is configured for treating natural gas mixed with carbon dioxide (CO) in high concentrations of 30% mole by volume or more. In one embodiment, the process comprises contacting a first feedstream comprising liquid natural gas (LNG) with a feedstock comprising methane to form an overhead product comprising methane vapor and a bottom product comprising carbon dioxide (CO). The embodiment can also comprise liquefying the methane vapor to form a LNG product and using the LNG product as the liquid natural gas (LNG) in the first feedstream. 1. A process for treating natural gas , said process comprising contacting a first feedstream comprising liquid natural gas (LNG) with a feedstock comprising methane to form an overhead product comprising methane and a bottom product comprising carbon dioxide (CO).2. The process of claim 1 , further comprising liquefying the overhead product to form a liquefied product.3. The process of claim 2 , further comprising directing a portion of the liquefied product as the first feedstream comprising liquid natural gas (LNG).4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the feedstock further comprises carbon dioxide (CO) in a concentration of 30% mole by volume or more.5. The process of claim 4 , wherein the methane in the overhead product has a concentration of 97% mole by volume or more.6. The process of claim 4 , wherein the carbon dioxide (CO) in the bottom product has a concentration of 80% mole by volume or more.7. The process of claim 1 , further comprising:{'sub': '2', 'distilling the bottom product to generate a vapor comprising methane and a liquid comprising carbon dioxide (CO).'}8. The process of claim 7 , further comprising:increasing the pressure of the vapor from a first pressure to a second pressure that is different from the first pressure.9. The process of claim 8 , further comprising:mixing the vapor at the second pressure into the feedstock.10. The process of claim 7 , further comprising:{'sub': '2', 'boiling the ...
