Directed Hydrogenation of Solid Carbonates: Pioneering an Alternative Pathway for Syngas Production
摘要
Alkaline-earth metal carbonate, an inorganic mineral resource with abundant reserves and wide distribution on Earth, has historically been used as an ordinary non-metallic mineral to produce cement, building materials, etc. In the conventional usage of carbonate minerals, massive CO2 emission occurs. This review focuses on the remodel of carbonate decomposition reaction from CO2 emission to directed hydrogenation, pioneering a pathway of syngas production from inorganic carbon resource. The state-of-the-art development of hydrogenated decomposition of solid carbonates has been summarized. The carbonate chemical pathway for CO2 capture, as well as the recent progress of integrated carbon capture-conversion (ICCC), is also discussed.
