摘要

The thermodynamic equilibrium of carbon dioxide hydrogenation to C1 chemicals (i.e.; HCOOH, CO, HCHO, CH3OH, CH3OCH3, CH4 and solid carbon) was studied using the non-stoichiometric approach. The effect of temperature (100–1000°C), pressure (1–40 bar) and feed composition (H2/CO2 = 0.1–10 mol/mol) on equilibrium conversions and selectivities was investigated. Among CO2 hydrogenation reactions, methanation and reverse water–gas shift (RWGS) are favored with high equilibrium yields (~ 100%) at low (< 400°C) and > 50% at high (> 800°C) temperatures, respectively. The equilibrium coke amount versus H2 mole fraction passes a maximum at substoichiometric H2 concentrations that diminishes with increasing temperature within a temperature range of about 200–600 ℃ and pressure range of 1–40 bar. The more desirable methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) products show negligible yields, but modest overall yields (> 10%) are possible by kinetic control of methanation reaction using appropriate catalyst. Approach to equilibrium analysis shows that RWGS is much faster than methanol and DME formation over bifunctional Cu–based catalysts.
