Development of a novel CO₂ splitting fixed-bed reactor based on copper-doped cerium oxide

Abstract Global warming has received widespread attention in recent years due to the accumulation of carbon dioxide. Looking at current energy landscape, new technologies must be developed reduce CO 2 emissions. The present work is aimed develop and test a prototype an innovative reactor for conversion into CO, operating according two-phase thermochemical cycle. main aspect this study was use coupled with type catalyst, copper-doped cerium oxide (Cu δ+2 Ce (1-δ) O ), which allowed decrease temperature reaction up 850°C, much lower than models literature, tested on 1300/1400°C even beyond.
