J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 140:91-102. [PMID: 38331518 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol has become one of the most promising ways for CO2 utilization, however, the CO2 conversion rate and methanol selectivity of this reaction still need to be improved for industrial application. Here we investigated the structure-activity relationship for CO2 conversion to methanol of In2O3-based catalysts by modulating morphology and decorating Au. Three different Au/In2O3 catalysts were prepared, their activity follow the sequence of Au/In2O3-nanosphere (Au/In2O3-NS) > Au/In2O3-nanoplate (Au/In2O3-NP) > Au/In2O3-hollow microsphere (Au/In2O3-HM). Au/In2O3-NS exhibited the best performance with good CO2 conversion of 12.7%, high methanol selectivity of 59.8%, and large space time yield of 0.32 gCH3OH/(hr·gcat) at 300°C. The high performance of Au/In2O3-NS was considered as the presence of Au. It contributes to the creation of more surface oxygen vacancies, which further promoted the CO2 adsorption and facilitated CO2 activation to form the formate intermediates towards methanol. This work clearly suggests that the activity of In2O3 catalyst can be effective enhanced by structure engineering and Au decorating.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 240:117520. [PMID: 37923108 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
This review discusses the importance of mitigating CO2 emissions by valorizing CO2 through high-pressure catalytic processes. It focuses on various key processes, including CO2 methanation, reverse water-gas shift, methane dry reforming, methanol, and dimethyl ether synthesis, emphasizing pros and cons of high-pressure operation. CO2 methanation, methanol synthesis, and dimethyl ether synthesis reactions are thermodynamically favored under high-pressure conditions. However, in the case of methane dry reforming and reverse water-gas shift, applying high pressure, results in decreased selectivity toward desired products and an increase in coke production, which can be detrimental to both the catalyst and the reaction system. Nevertheless, high-pressure utilization proves industrially advantageous for cost reduction when these processes are integrated with Fischer-Tropsch or methanol synthesis units. This review also compiles recent advances in heterogeneous catalysts design for high-pressure applications. By examining the impact of pressure on CO2 valorization and the state of the art, this work contributes to improving scientific understanding and optimizing these processes for sustainable CO2 management, as well as addressing challenges in high-pressure CO2 valorization that are crucial for industrial scaling-up. This includes the development of cost-effective and robust reactor materials and the development of low-cost catalysts that yield improved selectivity and long-term stability under realistic working environments.

Abstract
Low temperature and high pressure are thermodynamically more favorable conditions to achieve high conversion and high methanol selectivity in CO2 hydrogenation. However, low-temperature activity is generally very poor due to the sluggish kinetics, and thus, designing highly selective catalysts active below 200 °C is a great challenge in CO2-to-methanol conversion. Recently, Re/TiO2 has been reported as a promising catalyst. We show that Re/TiO2 is indeed more active in continuous and high-pressure (56 and 331 bar) operations at 125-200 °C compared to an industrial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst, which suffers from the formation of methyl formate and its decomposition to carbon monoxide. At lower temperatures, precise understanding and control over the active surface intermediates are crucial to boosting conversion kinetics. This work aims at elucidating the nature of active sites and active species by means of in situ/operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS), and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Transient operando DRIFTS studies uncover the activation of CO2 to form active formate intermediates leading to methanol formation and also active rhenium carbonyl intermediates leading to methane over cationic Re single atoms characterized by rhenium tricarbonyl complexes. The transient techniques enable us to differentiate the active species from the spectator one on TiO2 support, such as less reactive formate originating from spillover and methoxy from methanol adsorption. The AP-XPS supports the fact that metallic Re species act as H2 activators, leading to H-spillover and importantly to hydrogenation of the active formate intermediate present over cationic Re species. The origin of the unique reactivity of Re/TiO2 was suggested as the coexistence of cationic highly dispersed Re including single atoms, driving the formation of monodentate formate, and metallic Re clusters in the vicinity, activating the hydrogenation of the formate to methanol.

Abstract
In order to increase the typically low equilibrium CO2 conversion to methanol using commercially proven technology, the addition of two intermediate condensation units between reaction steps is evaluated in this work. Detailed process simulations with heat integration and techno-economic analyses of methanol synthesis from green H2 and captured CO2 are presented here, comparing the proposed process with condensation steps with the conventional approach. In the new process, a CO2 single-pass conversion of 53.9% was achieved, which is significantly higher than the conversion of the conventional process (28.5%) and its equilibrium conversion (30.4%). Consequently, the total recycle stream flow was halved, which reduced reactant losses in the purge stream and the compression work of the recycle streams, lowering operating costs by 4.8% (61.2 M€·a−1). In spite of the additional number of heat exchangers and flash drums related to the intermediate condensation units, the fixed investment costs of the improved process decreased by 22.7% (94.5 M€). This was a consequence of the increased reaction rates and lower recycle flows, reducing the required size of the main equipment. Therefore, intermediate condensation steps are beneficial for methanol synthesis from H2/CO2, significantly boosting CO2 single-pass conversion, which consequently reduces both the investment and operating costs.

Abstract
This review explains the various methods of conversion of Carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol by using homogenous, heterogeneous catalysts through hydrogenation, photochemical, electrochemical, and photo-electrochemical techniques. Since, CO2 is the major contributor to global warming, its utilization for the production of fuels and chemicals is one of the best ways to save our environment in a sustainable manner. However, as the CO2 is very stable and less reactive, a proper method and catalyst development is most important to break the CO2 bond to produce valuable chemicals like methanol. Litertaure says the catalyt types, ratio and it surface structure along with the temperature and pressure are the most controlling parameters to optimize the process for the production of methanol from CO2. This article explains about the various controlling parameters of synthesis of Methanol from CO2 along with the advantages and drawbacks of each process. The mechanism of each synthesis process in presence of metal supported catalyst is described. Basically the activity of Cu supported catalyst and its stability based on the activity for the methanol synthesis from CO2 through various methods is critically described.

Abstract
Au nanoparticles supported on ZrO2 enhance its surface acidic/basic properties to produce a high yield of methanol via the hydrogenation of CO2. Amorphous ZrO2-supported 0.5–1 wt.% Au catalysts were synthesized by two methods, namely deposition precipitation (DP) and impregnation (IMP), characterized by a variety of techniques, and evaluated in the process of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol. The DP-method catalysts were highly advantageous over the IMP-method catalyst. The DP method delivered samples with a large surface area, along with the control of the Au particle size. The strength and number of acidic and basic sites was enhanced on the catalyst surface. These surface changes attributed to the DP method greatly improved the catalytic activity when compared to the IMP method. The variations in the surface sites due to different preparation methods exhibited a huge impact on the formation of important intermediates (formate, dioxymethylene and methoxy) and their rapid hydrogenation to methanol via the formate route, as revealed by means of in situ DRIFTS (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy) analysis. Finally, the rate of formation of methanol was enhanced by the increased synergy between the metal and the support.

Abstract
In a complex heterogeneous metal-catalyzed reaction process, unique cooperative effects between metal sites and surface-interface active sites, as well as favorable synergy between surface-interface active sites, can play crucial roles in improving their catalytic performances. In this work, a ZnO-modified Cu-based catalyst over defect-rich Pr2O3 nanosheets for high-efficiency CO2 hydrogenation to produce methanol was successfully constructed. It was demonstrated that an as-fabricated nanosheet-like Cu-based catalyst presented several structural advantages including the formation of highly dispersive Cu0 sites and the coexistence of abundant defective Pr3+-Vo-Pr3+ structures (Vo: oxygen vacancy) and interfacial Cu-O-Pr sites. Combining structural characterization and catalytic reaction results with density functional theory calculations, it was clearly unveiled that the synergy between surface defective structures and Cu-Pr2O3 interfaces over the catalyst remarkably promoted the adsorption of CO2 and CO intermediate, thus boosting the CO2 hydrogenation simultaneously via both the formate intermediate pathway and the intense reverse water-gas shift reaction-derived CO hydrogenation pathway, along with a high space-time yield of methanol of 0.395 gMeOH·gcat-1·h-1 under mild reaction conditions (260 °C and 3.0 MPa). The study provides a new strategy to construct high-performance Cu-based catalysts for high-efficiency CO2 hydrogenation to produce methanol and a deep understanding of the promotional roles of synergy between surface-interface active sites in the CO2 hydrogenation.

Abstract
Nickel– and cobalt–cerium bimetallic oxides were used as catalysts for the methanation of CO2 under pressure. The catalysts’ activity increases with pressure and an increase of just 10 bar is enough to double the yield of methane and to significantly improve the selectivity. The best results were those obtained over nickel–cerium bimetallic oxides, but the effect of pressure was particularly relevant over cobalt–cerium bimetallic oxides, which yield to methane increases from almost zero at atmospheric pressure to 50–60% at 30 bar. Both catalyst types are remarkably competitive, especially those containing nickel, which were always more active than a commercial rhodium catalyst used as a reference (5wt.% Rh/Al2O3) and tested under the same conditions. For the cobalt–cerium bimetallic oxides, the existence of a synergetic interaction between Co and CoO and the formation of cobalt carbides seems to play an important role in their catalytic behavior. Correlation between experimental reaction rates and simulated data confirms that the catalysts’ behavior follows the Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson kinetic model, but Le Chatelier’s principle is also important to understand the catalysts’ behavior under pressure. A catalyst recycle study was also performed. The results obtained after five cycles using a nickel–cerium catalyst show insignificant variations in activity and selectivity, which are important for any type of practical application.

Abstract
The increasing environmental concerns due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions have called for an alternate sustainable source to fulfill rising chemical and energy demands and reduce environmental problems. The thermo-catalytic activation and conversion of abundantly available CO2, a thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert molecule, can significantly pave the way to sustainably produce chemicals and fuels and mitigate the additional CO2 load. This can be done through comprehensive knowledge and understanding of catalyst behavior, reaction kinetics, and reactor design. This review aims to catalog and summarize the advances in the experimental and theoretical approaches for CO2 activation and conversion to C1 products via heterogeneous catalytic routes. To this aim, we analyze the current literature works describing experimental analyses (e.g., catalyst characterization and kinetics measurement) as well as computational studies (e.g., microkinetic modeling and first-principles calculations). The catalytic reactions of CO2 activation and conversion reviewed in detail are: (i) reverse water-gas shift (RWGS), (ii) CO2 methanation, (iii) CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, and (iv) dry reforming of methane (DRM). This review is divided into six sections. The first section provides an overview of the energy and environmental problems of our society, in which promising strategies and possible pathways to utilize anthropogenic CO2 are highlighted. In the second section, the discussion follows with the description of materials and mechanisms of the available thermo-catalytic processes for CO2 utilization. In the third section, the process of catalyst deactivation by coking is presented, and possible solutions to the problem are recommended based on experimental and theoretical literature works. In the fourth section, kinetic models are reviewed. In the fifth section, reaction technologies associated with the conversion of CO2 are described, and, finally, in the sixth section, concluding remarks and future directions are provided.

Abstract
Production of methanol from anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is a promising chemical process that can alleviate both the environmental burden and the dependence on fossil fuels. In catalytic CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, reduction of CO2 to intermediate species is generally considered to be a crucial step. It is of great significance to design and develop advanced heterogeneous catalysts and to engineer the surface structures to promote CO2-to-methanol conversion. We herein report an oxygen-defective molybdenum sub-oxide coupled with Pt nanoparticles (Pt/HxMoO3−y) which affords high methanol yield with a methanol formation rate of 1.53 mmol g-cat−1 h−1 in liquid-phase CO2 hydrogenation under relatively mild reaction conditions (total 4.0 MPa, 200 °C), outperforming other oxide-supported Pt catalysts in terms of both the yield and selectivity for methanol. Experiments and comprehensive analyses including in situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that both abundant surface oxygen vacancies (VO) and the redox ability of Mo species in quasi-stable HxMoO3−y confer the catalyst with enhanced adsorption and activation capability to subsequently transform CO2 to methanol. Moreover, the Pt NPs act as H2 dissociation sites to regenerate oxygen vacancies and as hydrogenation sites for the CO intermediate to finally afford methanol. Based on the experimental and computational studies, an oxygen-vacancy-mediated “reverse Mars–van Krevelen (M–vK)” mechanism is proposed. This study affords a new strategy for the design and development of an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for CO2 conversion. Oxygen-defective molybdenum sub-oxide coupled with Pt nanoparticles affords high methanol yield in liquid-phase CO2 hydrogenation via reverse Mars–van Krevelen mechanism.![]()

Integration of Renewable Hydrogen Production in Steelworks Off-Gases for the Synthesis of Methanol and Methane. ENERGIES 2021.

Abstract
The steel industry is among the highest carbon-emitting industrial sectors. Since the steel production process is already exhaustively optimized, alternative routes are sought in order to increase carbon efficiency and reduce these emissions. During steel production, three main carbon-containing off-gases are generated: blast furnace gas, coke oven gas and basic oxygen furnace gas. In the present work, the addition of renewable hydrogen by electrolysis to those steelworks off-gases is studied for the production of methane and methanol. Different case scenarios are investigated using AspenPlusTM flowsheet simulations, which differ on the end-product, the feedstock flowrates and on the production of power. Each case study is evaluated in terms of hydrogen and electrolysis requirements, carbon conversion, hydrogen consumption, and product yields. The findings of this study showed that the electrolysis requirements surpass the energy content of the steelwork’s feedstock. However, for the methanol synthesis cases, substantial improvements can be achieved if recycling a significant amount of the residual hydrogen.

Abstract
Cu/ZnO-based catalysts for methanol synthesis by COx hydrogenation are widely prepared via co-precipitation of sodium carbonates and nitrate salts, which eventually produces a large amount of wastewater from the washing step to remove sodium (Na+) and/or nitrate (NO3−) residues. The step is inevitable since the remaining Na+ acts as a catalyst poison whereas leftover NO3− induces metal agglomeration during the calcination. In this study, sodium- and nitrate-free hydroxy-carbonate precursors were prepared via urea hydrolysis co-precipitation of acetate salt and compared with the case using nitrate salts. The Cu/ZnO catalysts derived from calcination of the washed and unwashed precursors show catalytic performance comparable to the commercial Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst in CO2 hydrogenation at 240–280 °C and 331 bar. By the combination of urea hydrolysis and the nitrate-free precipitants, the catalyst preparation is simpler with fewer steps, even without the need for a washing step and pH control, rendering the synthesis more sustainable. Sodium- and nitrate-free hydroxy-carbonate precursors were prepared via urea hydrolysis co-precipitation of acetate salt, which is simpler with fewer steps, even without the need for a washing and pH control, rendering the synthesis more sustainable.![]()

Abstract
The increasing atmospheric CO2 level makes CO2 reduction an urgent challenge facing the world. Catalytic transformation of CO2 into chemicals and fuels utilizing renewable energy is one of the promising approaches toward alleviating CO2 emissions. In particular, the selective hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol utilizing renewable hydrogen potentially enables large scale transformation of CO2 . The Cu-based catalysts have been extensively investigated in CO2 hydrogenation. However, it is not only limited by long-term instability but also displays unsatisfactory catalytic performance. The supported metal-based catalysts (Pd, Pt, Au, and Ag) can achieve high methanol selectivity at low temperatures. The mixed oxide catalysts represented by Ma ZrOx (Ma =Zn, Ga, and Cd) solid solution catalysts present high methanol selectivity and catalytic activity as well as excellent stability. This Review focuses on the recent advances in developing Non-Cu-based heterogeneous catalysts and current understandings of catalyst design and catalytic performance. First, the thermodynamics of CO2 hydrogenation to methanol is discussed. Then, the progress in supported metal-based catalysts, bimetallic alloys or intermetallic compounds catalysts, and mixed oxide catalysts is discussed. Finally, a summary and a perspective are presented.

Abstract
The realistic numerical simulation of chemical processes, such as those occurring in catalytic reactors, is a complex undertaking, requiring knowledge of chemical thermodynamics, multi-component activated rate equations, coupled flows of material and heat, etc. A standard approach is to make use of a process simulation program package. However for a basic understanding, it may be advantageous to sacrifice some realism and to independently reproduce, in essence, the package computations. Here, we set up and numerically solve the basic equations governing the functioning of plug-flow reactors (PFR) and continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTR), and we demonstrate the procedure with simplified cases of the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to form the synthetic fuels methanol and methane, each of which involves five chemical species undergoing three coupled chemical reactions. We show how to predict final product concentrations as a function of the catalyst system, reactor parameters, initial reactant concentrations, temperature, and pressure. Further, we use the numerical solutions to verify the “thermodynamic limit” of a PFR and a CSTR, and, for a PFR, to demonstrate the enhanced efficiency obtainable by “looping” and “sorption-enhancement”.

Abstract
Robust, gas-impeding water-conduction nanochannels that can sieve water from small gas molecules such as hydrogen (H2), particularly at high temperature and pressure, are desirable for boosting many important reactions severely restricted by water (the major by-product) both thermodynamically and kinetically. Identifying and constructing such nanochannels into large-area separation membranes without introducing extra defects is challenging. We found that sodium ion (Na+)-gated water-conduction nanochannels could be created by assembling NaA zeolite crystals into a continuous, defect-free separation membrane through a rationally designed method. Highly efficient in situ water removal through water-conduction nanochannels led to a substantial increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion and methanol yield in CO2 hydrogenation for methanol production.

Abstract
To develop a new and efficient CO2 -to-methanol catalyst is of extreme significance but still remains a challenge. Herein, an innovative indirect two-step strategy is reported to synthesize a highly efficient capsule-structured copper-based CO2 -to-methanol catalyst (CZA-r@CZM). It consists of a structurally reconstructed millimeter-sized Cu/ZnO/Al2 O3 core (CZA-r) with intensified Cu-ZnO interactions, which is made by a facile hydrothermal treatment in an alkaline aqueous solution, and a Cu/ZnO/MgO (CZM) shell prepared by an ethylene glycol-assisted physical coating method. The CZA-r core displays 2.7 times higher CO2 hydrogenation activity with 2.0 times higher CO selectivity than the previously reported Cu/ZnO/Al2 O3 (CZA-p), whereas the CZM shell can efficiently catalyze hydrogenation of the as-formed CO from the CZA-r core to methanol as it passes through the shell. As a result, the developed capsule-structured CZA-r@CZM catalyst exhibits 2.4 times higher CO2 conversion with 1.8 times higher turnover frequency and 2.3-fold higher methanol space-time yield than the CZA-p catalyst (729.8 vs. 312.6 gMeOH kgcat -1 h-1 ). In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTs) experiments reveal that the CO2 hydrogenation reaction proceeds through a reverse water-gas shift reaction followed by a CO hydrogenation pathway via an *H3 CO intermediate. This work not only produces an efficient CO2 -to-methanol catalyst, but also opens a new avenue for designing superior catalysts for other consecutive transformations.

Abstract
The methanol synthesis via CO2 hydrogenation (MSCH) reaction is a useful CO2 utilization strategy, and this synthesis path has also been widely applied commercially for many years. In this work the performance of a MSCH reactor with the minimum entropy generation rate (EGR) as the objective function is optimized by using finite time thermodynamic and optimal control theory. The exterior wall temperature (EWR) is taken as the control variable, and the fixed methanol yield and conservation equations are taken as the constraints in the optimization problem. Compared with the reference reactor with a constant EWR, the total EGR of the optimal reactor decreases by 20.5%, and the EGR caused by the heat transfer decreases by 68.8%. In the optimal reactor, the total EGRs mainly distribute in the first 30% reactor length, and the EGRs caused by the chemical reaction accounts for more than 84% of the total EGRs. The selectivity of CH3OH can be enhanced by increasing the inlet molar flow rate of CO, and the CO2 conversion rate can be enhanced by removing H2O from the reaction system. The results obtained herein are in favor of optimal designs of practical tubular MSCH reactors.
