“…Global warming caused by the greenhouse effect of anthropogenic CO 2 in the atmosphere is a serious issue that threatens the future of humankind . Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been considered as an effective and aggressive measure to counter the problem . However, the storage of CO 2 in geological or ocean reservoirs has serious drawbacks such as possible leakage, long‐term liability, and the availability of sufficient storage capacity in many regions of the world.…”

Sodium‐Containing Spinel Zinc Ferrite as a Catalyst Precursor for the Selective Synthesis of Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels

et al. 2017

A microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis produces ZnFe O containing Na residue as a precursor to a CO hydrogenation catalyst that displays high CO conversion and high selectivity to liquid hydrocarbon products in the gasoline and diesel range with high olefin-to-paraffin ratios. Compared to reference catalysts derived from Fe O and a ZnO-Fe O physical mixture, the ZnFe O -derived catalyst contains well-dispersed iron particles with Zn serving as a structural promoter. A profound effect of the residual Na as an electronic promoter is also observed, which improves the selectivity for C hydrocarbons and olefins. The ZnFe O -derived catalyst exhibits excellent performance in the CO Fischer-Tropsch reaction as it forms the active Hägg iron carbide (χ-Fe C ) phase readily through the in situ carburization of iron.

Preparation of Cuprous Oxide Nanoparticles Coated with Aminated Cellulose for the Photocatalytic Reduction of Carbon Dioxide to Methanol

et al. 2018

The present study utilizes microcrystalline cellulose as the raw material to prepare nanoscale cellulose crystal (NCC) particles through a hybrid method incorporating mixed acid and ultrasonic treatment. Furthermore, the NCC undergoes a surface modification through SOCl2 chlorination and ethylenediamine (EDA) passivation, which generates graphitized aminated cellulose doped with nitrogen (NCC‐EDA). This product, due to the coordination and dispersion effects of the functional groups (e.g., amido group) on its surface, is in turn used to coat Cu2O nanoparticles derived from the in situ reduction of CuCl2⋅2 H2O, which leads to a composite photocatalyst Cu2O/NCC‐EDA with relatively high catalytic activity. Besides the structural characterization, the present study also examines the characteristics of CH3OH prepared by visible‐light‐based photocatalytic reduction of CO2/H2O. The results indicate that the prepared Cu2O/NCC‐EDA are spherical particles with a diameter of approximately 50 nm, which are in possession of a tree‐structured rough shell capable of absorbing an increased amount of CO2. Under the radiation of visible light, the Cu2O in the prepared product is activated, yielding photoelectron–hole pairs. Driven by the nitrogen in the carrier, the formed photoelectron–hole pairs are subject to an efficient separation, and are thereby consumed by the oxidation–reduction reaction. As a result, a high activity for the photocatalyzed reduction of CO2 is obtained.

Process design and techno‐economic analysis of ethyl levulinate production from carbon dioxide and 1,4‐butanediol as an alternative biofuel and fuel additive

et al. 2019

Summary Carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is one of the promising negative emission technologies (NET). Within various CCUS routes available, CO2 conversion into fuels is one of the attractive options. Currently, most of CO2 conversion into fuels requires hydrogen, which is expensive and consume large energy to produce. Hence, a different route of producing fuel from CO2 by utilizing 1,4‐butanediol as the raw material is proposed and evaluated in this study. This alternative route comprises production of levulinic acid from the reaction between CO2 and 1,4‐butanediol and production of ethyl levulinate, an alternative biofuel and biofuel additive, via an esterification reaction of levulinic acid with ethanol. The process is designed and simulated according to the available data and evaluated in terms of its technical features. Because of the unavailability of reaction data for synthesis of levulinic acid from 1,4‐butanediol and CO2, several assumptions were taken, which may implicate the accuracy of the studied design. This technical evaluation is followed by cost estimations and sensitivity analysis. Because of the free CO2, the profitability of the plant depends strongly on the prices of the other chemicals and the price difference between 1,4‐butanediol (raw material) and ethyl levulinate (product). Monte Carlo simulation indicates that the proposed plant will always be profitable if the ethyl levulinate is slightly more expensive than the 1,4‐butanediol, highlighting that the process of producing ethyl levulinate from CO2 is economically profitable. Future research should be directed towards a catalytic system that can effectively convert CO2 into levulinic acid, by‐products produced from the two reaction steps, and reduce the excess ethanol used in the second reaction.
