Carbon Dioxide Conversion in High Temperature Reactions

Carbon Dioxide Conversion in High Temperature Reactions 

The second part covers the reaction of CO2 with hydrogen in processes such as the reverse water gas shift reaction and the synthesis of both methanol and dimethyl ether. 

All processes discussed here already have an industrial exploitation or are related to processes on stream, so that a large set of data is available in tbe literature. This chapter illustrates the building-up of knowledge for demonstrating the reaction mechanism in processes in which very often several conversion routes of CO2 coexist and the role of support and catalysts is essential for addressing the reaction in one or another direction.
