1. CO2 conversion to value added
chemicals : An Overview
Dr Vijaykumar S. Marakatti

JNCASR, Bangalore
2. CO2 level in earth atmosphere
Global warming (Green house effect) caused by remarkable increase of CO2 emission
into the atmospheres.
Imbalance in carbon cycle.
high blood pressure , headache , flushed skin and twitching the muscles , vomiting ,
irregular heartbeat
12. CO2 to methanol
Hydrocarbon -----------------> CO +H2----------- > CH3OH
Steam Reforming Fischer -Troph
CO2 H2
If this process need to be viable – The price of CO2 and H2
should be less or equivalent to the Hydrocarbon price
CO2-- > Flue Gas--- >Purification ,Seperation, sorption
H2---> Renewable Energy sources --- > Electrolysis, water
splitting, photo catalysis, wind.
This process is highly exothermic, Heat need to be removed by
water and 0.8 t CO2 /t MeOH is produced in this process
21. Why Methanol is so Important ?
It is the raw material for various chemicals
22. Catalyst development for CO2 to Methanol
Cu – H2 dissociation.
ZnO2 with – dispersion of Cu and also
absorption o f CO2
23. CO2 to methane
Sabtier Reaction : CO2 + 4 H2--- > CH4 + 2H2O
International Space Station (ISS) and other low orbit
missions, metabolically-generated CO2 is removed from
the cabin air and vented into space, resulting in a net
loss of O2. This requires a continuous resupply of O2 via
water electrolysis, large water difficult to store.
CO2 + H2 ---- > Water + Methane
O2 +H2
Respiration
Astronaut
Fuel
24. Norwegian company, Norway
Flue Gas + Methane, Pilot Plant
BP and thohaku University , Japan
Highly selective for the Methane , H2 from Sea Water
Desert Research institute
Pilot plat – Conversion of Co2 to 60% at 300 C
25. CO2 to Dimethyl Ether
CO2+H2 ----- > CH3OH ------- > DME
CO2+H2--------------------------- > DME
Bifunctionl catalyst
-- Cu based catalyst to support on Acidic Zeolite ZSM-5 or
Al2O3 oxide.
Cu ---> CH3OH …. Zeolite helps in Dehydartaion
High cetane number additive for the Fuel Diesel.
26. Korean Gas Corporation and Unitel technologies
Worlds first Largest DME Plant From CO2
Capacity - 300 Kt /Y
