Co-generation of synthesis gas and C2+ hydrocarbons from methane and carbon dioxide in a hybrid catalytic-plasma reactor: A review

Existing (production of urea, dimethyl carbonate, polypropylene carbonate) and promising (production of methanol, synthesis gas, monomers dedicated to synthesis of polyurethanes and polycarbonate) chemical technologies which any, time soon, may become CO2 based economy for producing motor fuels and basic chemicals have been overviewed. Based on estimates of CO2 removals in these processes, it has been concluded that there is a potential for developing technologies to produce methanol from CO2 to a competitive cost of the target product. It is expected that interest in this process will decrease if stable carbon dioxide conversion catalysts for methane are introduced into the market.

Gas Conversion

Numerical simulation of a bulk-type plasma reactor for carbon dioxide conversion with distributed gas injection and pumping has been performed in hydrodynamic approximation by solution of Navier-Stokes equation using the mathematical package COMSOL. It is shown that the geometry of gas injection and pumping, which determines the trajectories of the particles and their residence time in reactor, can significantly affect the energy efficiency of the conversion. Different particles on their way from inlet to pumping hole move along different trajectories and spend different times inside the reactor. If the residence time of the gas in the reactor is less than optimal, the gas conversion will be incomplete. If this time is more than optimal, then an excessive amount of energy will be applied to the already converted gas. It is shown that the reactor height affects significantly the energy efficiency of plasma conversion of carbon dioxide.
