The stepwise electron reduction of C02, whether direct or indirect, catalyzed, or by direct transfer on an apparently inert conductive surface, has been the object of considerable attention since the first concise reports of formate anion production. Since then, the list of possible derivatives has grown from formates to carbon monoxide, methane, ethylene, and short-chain saturated hydrocarbons. As noted in Section 12.1, this area of research has been expanded in recent years [8, 80, 83], with information relating to increased yields, to the effect of electrode materials on selectivity, as well as further speculations on possible reaction mechanisms, having been obtained on a continuous basis. Yet, the key to these synthetic processes-an understanding of the relationship between the surface of the electrode and the synthetic behavior of the system-seems no closer to being identified. 

In complete combustion, the products from burning wood are carbon dioxide, water, and ash. Other gases and vapors that may be present due to incomplete combustion include carbon monoxide, methane, formic acid, acetic acid, glyoxal, and saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons (46). The aerosols can alsa contain various liquids such as levoglucosan and complex mixtures. The solids can consist of unburned carbon particles and high-molecular-weight tars. 

The synthesis gas from the waste heat recovery is rich in acid gases and is passed to a "Rectisol" or "Selexol" plant for their removal. During this process small amounts of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, nitrogen and argon are dissolved in the solution and lost from the system in the acid gas stream. 

Figure 4.7. Excess surface tensions as a function of the mole fraction of the second component for carbon monoxide + nitrogen (T = 83.82 K), methane + argon (T = 90.67 K) and for carbon monoxide + methane (T = 90.67 K). The excess is counted with respect to linearity. (Data taken from F.B. Sprow, J.M. Prausnltz, Trans. Faraday Soc. 62 (1966) 1105.) Drawn curves are only meant to guide the eye.

Where the Fischer-Tropsch process has been used on an industrial scale, iron or cobalt are the essential catalyst components. Technical catalysts also contain oxidic promoters, such as alumina and potassium oxide. Ruthenium and nickel are most attractive for academic research since they produce the simplest product packages. Nickel is used for methanation (production of substitute natural gas and removal of carbon monoxide impurities from hydrogen). 

Major limitation associated with carbon dioxide reduction is the accuracy of the analytical measurements employed. The photocatalytic process is a multielectron transfer process, hence the reaction leads to the formation of a variety of products like carbon monoxide, methane, higher hydrocarbons, alcohol, aldehydes, carboxylic acid etc., with some intermediates. The identification and quantification of the products are needed for the best selection of photocatalyst, comparison and elucidation of reaction mechanisms. Currently there is no standard analysis method that has been developed for product analysis of carbon dioxide reduction. Hence the results of these measurements also include the products derived from the carbon contamination invariably present in the reaction sys-... 

Volatile product evolution has been observed in the photolysis of many vinyl polymers as a consequence of side-group scission. The nature of these volatile products is therefore related to the side group. Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methyl formate are produced from polymethylmethacrylate [12], carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and acetic acid in the photolysis of poly vinylacetate [13], and hydrogen chloride in the photolysis of polyvinylchloride [14]. 

Water-Isopropyl Alcohol + Additives. Sulfur Hexafluoride. The effect of SF6 on the hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide yields from water-isopropyl alcohol mixtures is shown in Figures 1 and 2. Extrapolation to /p = 0 gives G(H2)W° = 5.5 0.3, G(CH4)W° = 0... 

Product Analysis. Analysis of gases from the CRU is achieved in two ways. Carbon monoxide, methane, and carbon dioxide are analyzed continuously by Mine Safety Appliances Model LIRA 303 nondispersive analyzers (NDIR), while the total effluent gas analysis is obtained by gas chromatography using a combination of porapak QS and charcoal... 

At the present time, the fuels which can be described by this modeling approach include hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, methanol, ethane, ethylene, acetylene, propane, and propylene. The reaction mechanism used to describe the oxidation of these fuels has been developed and validated in a series of papers (3-7). The elementary reactions and their rate expressions are summarized in Reference (7) and are not reproduced here due to space limitations. Reverse reaction rates are computed from the forward rates and the appropriate thermodynamic data (8). This mechanism has been shown to describe the oxidation of methane (3,A), methanol (5), ethylene (6), and propane and propylene (7) over wide ranges of experimental conditions. It has also been used to describe the shock tube oxidation of ethane (4,9), and acetylene (10). 

The objective of this study was to determine the total gas yield and gas composition from the various feedstocks as a function of reactor temperature, air-to-feed ratio, and steam-to-feed ratio. The gas components of greatest interest are hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, and ethylene. These components contribute not only to the gas heating value, but also to the value of the gas as chemical synthesis feedstock.
