Phase stability analysis on green methanol synthesis process from CO2 hydrogenation in water cooled, gas cooled and double cooled tubular reactors

A novel approach for kinetic measurements in exothermic fixed bed reactors: advancements in non-isothermal bed conditions demonstrated for methanol synthesis

“…Powder kinetics. Some of the most commonly used kinetic models for methanol synthesis are the models provided by Graaf 13,[34][35][36][37] and Vanden Bussche and Froment. 15,[38][39][40][41] Graaf's kinetic model is based on the stepwise hydration of CO and CO 2 with the rate determining step (rds) determined by an error discussion of the 48 possible combinations of rds of COhydrogenation, CO 2 -hydrogenation and reverse WGS (rWGS).…”

“…The reactor of Shiraz methanol synthesis plant in Iran was used as a reference for the industrial scale in this study, as it is well documented in scientific literature. 37,[55][56][57] The steam cooled reactor is part of a conventional methanol synthesis facility producing methanol from a syngas obtained by natural gas reforming. 55 Design data of the reactor are listed in Table 2.…”

Alternative Strategies for Effective Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Dimethyl Ether Synthesis

“…Also, the produced water, which acts as catalyst poison, was reduced in the presence of a membrane. In another work by Samimi et al [12], the CO 2 conversion rates in gascooled, water-cooled, and double-cooled reactors were compared with those in different cooling systems. Because of the low efficiency of the commercial catalyst in direct conversion, Joo et al [13], for the first time, presented the indirect conversion of CO 2 for methanol production by incorporating the RWGS reactor in the methanol synthesis process.…”

A comparative study on three reactor types for methanol synthesis from syngas and CO2

“…The results showed differences in the first half of the reactor using the two kinetic models, which also indicated that attentions should be paid to the selection of kinetic models for the CTM process. Samimi et al [35] investigated the possibility of liquid formation in the reactors at an industrial scale CTM process at high pressures (50-300 bar). The water-cooled, gas-cooled and double-cooled (cooled by both water and gas) reactor types were compared in the modeling studies, and the gas-cooled reactor showed a lower possibility of liquid formation and better CO 2 conversion and methanol yield than the others.…”
