#GreenHydrogen + #CO2 to #methanol, breakthrough conversion-selectivity "#MethanolEconomy." methanol is a bulk basic chemical that can be used to prepare important chemical products such as olefins, aromatics, formaldehyde, dimethyl ether, etc. It is an important raw material for plastic products, cosmetics, and architectural coatings. With the accelerated development of carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol technology, new high-efficiency catalysts are emerging one after another, and catalyst characterization and evaluation processes are continuously optimized. hydrogenation of CO2 to produce methanol, and its reaction equation is as follows: CO 2 +3H 2 =CH 3 OH+H 2 O (1) The main side reaction is the reverse water gas reaction (RWGS), (2) CO 2 +H 2 =CO+H 2 O (2) CO2 hydrogenation to methanol is an exothermic reaction (Eq. 1), while the RWGS side reaction is an endothermic (Eq. 2) In order to achieve an appreciable reaction rate, increasing the reaction temperature, but this is also accompanied by a sharp sacrifice in methanol selectivity, because the competing RWGS reaction is thermodynamically favored at high temperatures. , methanol product may also decompose to form CO at high temperatures , with the increase of reaction temperature CO2 conversion and methanol selectivity generally show a seesaw relationship over various catalysts I the development of catalysts Commonly used catalysts include copper-based catalysts, metal oxide catalysts, precious metal catalysts, and other new catalysts (such as metal sulfides) . At present, the research on catalysts for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol mainly focuses on copper-based catalysts. designed and synthesized copper-based catalysts by introducing carriers, additives, and improving or introducing new preparation methods, regulating the interactions between the catalyst components, promoting the dispersion of copper, and obtaining more active sites, thereby improving the carbon dioxide conversion rate and methanol selectivity. In addition, explore the generation, migration and conversion paths of intermediate species in the process of carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol, clarifying the reaction path and reaction mechanism, and promoting the process of methanol industrialization. 1-commercial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst has a methanol selectivity of 75% and a CO2 conversion of 5% at 200°C, but the selectivity drops rapidly to below 50% when the CO2 conversion approaches 20% at 250°C. 2-deposition-precipitation method to prepare Cu-ZnO-SrTiO 3 catalysts with structured n-type semiconductor material SrTiO 3 as the support for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol. 3-Indium oxide is a breakthrough catalyst for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol. nickel-indium oxide catalysts by comparing co-precipitation and impregnation methods #CCUS

“Upcycling of #polyethylene to #gasoline through a self-supplied #hydrogen strategy in a layered self-pillared #zeolite ” Ziyu Cen, Xue Han, Longfei Lin, Sihai Yang, Wanying Han, Weilong Wen, Wenli Yuan, Minghua Dong, Zhiye Ma, Fang Li, Yubin Ke, Juncai Dong, Jin Zhang, Shuhu Liu, Jialiang Li, Qian Li, Ningning Wu, Junfeng Xiang, Hao Wu, Lile Cai, Yanbo Hou, Yongqiang Cheng, Luke L. Daemen, Anibal J. Ramirez-Cuesta, Pilar Ferrer, David C. Grinter, Georg Held, Yueming Liu & Buxing Han Published: 09 April 2024 Nature Chemistry (2024) “Abstract” “Conversion of #plasticwastes to valuable #carbonresources without using #noblemetalcatalysts or external #hydrogen remains a challenging task.” “Here we report a layered self-pillared #zeolite that enables the conversion of #polyethylene to #gasoline with a remarkable selectivity of 99% and yields of >80% in 4 h at 240 °C.” “The liquid product is primarily composed of #branchedalkanes (selectivity of 72%), affording a high research #octanenumber of 88.0 that is comparable to #commercialgasoline (86.6). “ “In situ inelastic neutron scattering, small-angle neutron scattering, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and isotope-labelling experiments reveal that the activation of polyethylene is promoted by the open framework tri-coordinated Al sites of the zeolite, followed by β-scission and isomerization on Brönsted acids sites, accompanied by hydride transfer over open framework tri-coordinated Al sites through a self-supplied #hydrogenpathway to yield selectivity to branched alkanes. This study shows the potential of #layeredzeolitematerials in enabling the upcycling of plastic wastes.” “In this Article, we report a self-supplied hydrogen (SSH) strategy to convert PE directly into gasoline with a selectivity of 99% and yield of 81% over a unique layered self-pillared zeolite (LSP-Z100) at 240 °C without using noble metals or any external hydrogen source (Fig. 1b). The layered structure endows LSP zeolites with extensive open framework tri-coordinated Al sites (oFTAl) as strong Lewis acid sites, resulting in superior activity to activate the inert C–H bonds of PE to supply hydrogen internally.” https://lnkd.in/eN2GTFdK Source - original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

Hydrogen and Its Derivatives | A Sneak Peek at Methanol Methanol is the second largest emitter in the chemical sector, right after ammonia, contributing approximately 0.3 Gt of CO2 emissions on a lifecycle basis. In 2020, global demand for methanol was around 100 Mt. By 2050, this demand could soar to 500 Mt, potentially resulting in significantly larger CO2 emissions. Europe currently consumes about 11.3 Mt of methanol, accounting for roughly 11% of global demand. Approximately 60% of methanol is used in the chemicals industry, where it serves as a versatile organic feedstock for derivative chemicals and fuels or as a final product across various sectors, including pharmaceuticals, construction, and transport. Methanol is integral to producing everyday items such as plastics, paints, polyester, gloves, and masks. Among its many derivatives, formaldehyde stands out as the most common, being found in glues, dyes, textiles, disinfectants, car parts, and more. In the EU, methanol is the third-largest consumer of hydrogen, after refining and ammonia production. Hydrogen is a crucial feedstock for methanol synthesis, with approximately 13% of the EU’s hydrogen demand—around 1 Mt/year—dedicated mainly to methanol production in the chemical industry. Of this, Germany accounts for about 22% of hydrogen, consuming roughly 0.22 Mt/year. As methanol demand continues to rise, so too will the demand for hydrogen. However, 99% of methanol production still relies on fossil fuels, primarily through steam methane reforming (SMR) to produce synthesis gas, resulting in significant CO2 emissions. Green hydrogen and sustainable sources of carbon represent less than 1% of the total feedstocks used for methanol production.

What I thought to be grapevine or a paper hastily written for school ranking turned out to hold water. In this mini clip made using ##YouCut, a #cellulose was dissolved in a #copper solution of 2+ oxid state. Minutes after #neutralization, the Cu2+ reduced to zero valent copper as evident by the metallic orange precipitates and streak. In turn, the cellulose was #hydrolyzed into #fermentable #sugars fit for #ethanol production. #Bioenergy #Biofuels #Carbonneutrality https://lnkd.in/epbhuEVc

Research shows #biochar-supported nickel catalysts effectively convert CO2 to green #naturalgas, achieving comparable results to traditional alumina catalysts. Optimal performance was noted at 500°C with 10 wt.% Ni, though catalyst deactivation occurs over time. Further studies on metal-support interactions are recommended for enhanced efficiency. https://lnkd.in/gsaDuDVt
