Multi-scale Modelling of Methanol Synthesis Reactors

Decarbonizing the global energy mix relies on efficiently converting carbonaceous feedstocks like CH4 and CO2, with methanol playing a pivotal role. Methanol serves as a versatile chemical feedstock, energy storage solution, and precursor to clean fuels. Synthesizing methanol involves CO, CO2, and H...

description Decarbonizing the global energy mix relies on efficiently converting carbonaceous feedstocks like CH4 and CO2, with methanol playing a pivotal role. Methanol serves as a versatile chemical feedstock, energy storage solution, and precursor to clean fuels. Synthesizing methanol involves CO, CO2, and H2 conversion over a copper-based catalyst in a packed bed reactor (PBR). This thesis adopts a multi-scale approach, optimizing reactor design, catalyst properties, and refining kinetic models to enhance methanol synthesis efficiency.
