Catalytic Conversion of CO2 Using Bi-reforming and Methanol Synthesis

This study includes extensive process simulations and catalyst testing experiments on the conversion of CO2 to methanol via bi-reforming and methanol synthesis. The study found optimal operating conditions and developed a highly stable catalyst for the bi-reforming step to achieve a higher consumpti...

description This study includes extensive process simulations and catalyst testing experiments on the conversion of CO2 to methanol via bi-reforming and methanol synthesis. The study found optimal operating conditions and developed a highly stable catalyst for the bi-reforming step to achieve a higher consumption of CO2 than CH4 in the process. The study developed a methanol production process for which the net CO2 emission is one of the lowest among the processes published in open literature.
