Multi-Promoters Regulated Iron Catalyst with Well-Matching Reverse Water-Gas Shift and Chain Propagation for Boosting CO2 Hydrogenation

Spectrokinetic investigation of reverse water-gas-shift reaction intermediates over a Pt/CeO2 catalyst

Selectivity and Performance of Ni-Mo/γ-Al2O3 Catalyst for Methanol Production with Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) Reaction

One of the main reactions that can be used to reduce greenhouse gases emissions is Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) reaction. Through this reaction CO2 is converted to CO to produce beneficial chemicals such as methanol. In this paper Mo/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared and then promoted with Ni ions through impregnation method to produce Ni-Mo/Al2O3 catalyst. The structures of the catalysts were stud...

Mechanistic Insights into CO2 Activation via Reverse Water−Gas Shift on Metal Surfaces

By the means of density functional theory calculations, we find that CO2 activation via reverse water−gas shift (r-WGS) follows different elementary steps on different metals (Pt, Rh, Ni, Cu, Ag, and Pd). We relate these differences to the interactions between the adsorbed oxygen and the metals, which strongly affect the dissociation activation energy. In particular, CO2 dissociation is favored...

Be12O12 Nano-cage as a Promising Catalyst for CO2 Hydrogenation

An efficient conversion of CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals has been hotly pursued recently. Here, for the first time, we have explored a series of M12x12 nano-cages (M = B, Al, Be, Mg; X = N, P, O) for catalysis of CO2 to HCOOH. Two steps are identified in the hydrogenation process, namely, H2 activation to 2H*, and then 2H* transfer to CO2 forming HCOOH, where the barriers of two H* tran...

Bioreactor Scale-up for Water-Gas Shift Reaction

A scale-up study has been performed with three different size reactors to establish the optimum operating conditions for the hydrogen production from synthesis gas by biological water-gas shift reaction using the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodosprilliunt rubrum. Optimum medium composition and operating conditions previously determined in a bench scale 1.25 L continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR...
