Mechanism Of The Reaction

The constant increase in the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere requires us to look for opportunities to convert CO2 into more valuable compounds. In this review, the activity and selectivity of different supported metal catalysts were compared in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide, and found that Rh is one of the best samples. The possibility of the CO2 dissociation on clean metal and on supported Rh was discussed separately. The hydrogenation of CO2 produces mainly CH4 and CO, but the selectivity of the reaction is affected by the support, in some cases the reduction of the support, the particle size of Rh, and the different additives. At higher pressure methanol, ethanol, and acetic acid could be also formed. The activity of the various supported Rh catalysts was compared and the results obtained for TiO2-, SiO2-, and Al2O3-supported catalysts were discussed in a separate chapter. The compounds formed on the surface of the catalysts during the reaction are shown in detail; mostly, different CO species, adsorbed formate groups, and different carbonates were detected. In a separate chapter the mechanism of the reaction was also discussed.

AbstractThe use of a high-brightness field emission gun and novel secondary electron detection systems makes it possible to acquire nanometer-resolution surface images of bulk materials, even at low electron beam voltages. The advantages of low-voltage SEM include enhanced surface sensitivity, reduced sample charging on non-conducting materials, and significantly reduced electron range and interaction volume. High-resolution images formed by collecting the backscattered electron signal can give information about the size and spatial distribution of metal nanoparticles in supported catalysts. Low-voltage XEDS can provide compositional information of bulk samples with enhanced surface sensitivity and significantly improved spatial resolution. High-resolution SEM techniques enhance our ability to detect and, subsequently, analyze the composition of nanoparticles in supported metal catalysts. Applications of high-resolution SEM imaging and microanalysis techniques to the study of industrial supported catalysts are discussed.

Abstract The study of plant responses to increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is crucial to understand and to predict the effect of future global climate change on plant adaptation and evolution. Increasing amount of nitrogen (N) can promote the positive effect of CO2, while how N forms would modify the degree of CO2 effect is rarely studied. The aim of this study was to determine whether the amount and form of nitrogen (N) could mitigate the effects of elevated CO2 (eCO2) on enzyme activities related to carbon (C) and N metabolism, the C/N ratio, and growth of Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.) Y.C. Yang. One-year-old P. bournei seedlings were grown in an open-top air chamber under either an ambient CO2 (aCO2) (350 ± 70 μmol•mol−1) or an eCO2 (700 ± 10 μmol•mol−1) concentration and cultivated in soil treated with either moderate (0.8 g per seedling) or high applications (1.2 g per seedling) of nitrate or ammonium. In seedlings treated with a moderate level of nitrate, the activities of key enzymes involved in C and N metabolism (i.e., Rubisco, Rubisco activase and glutamine synthetase) were lower under eCO2 than under aCO2. By contrast, key enzyme activities (except GS) in seedlings treated with high nitrate or ammonium were not significantly different between aCO2 and eCO2 or higher under eCO2 than under aCO2. The C/N ratio of seedlings treated with moderate or high nitrate under eCO2was significantly changed compared with the seedlings grown under aCO2, whereas the C/N ratio of seedlings treated with ammonium was not significantly different between aCO2 and eCO2. Therefore, under eCO2, application of ammonium can be beneficial C and N metabolism and mitigate effects on the C/N ratio.

Carbonation Process

Mining waste may contain potential minerals that can act as essential feedstock for long-term carbon sequestration through a mineral carbonation process. This study attempts to identify the mineralogical and chemical composition of iron ore mining waste alongside the effects of particle size, temperature, and pH on carbonation efficiency. The samples were found to be alkaline in nature (pH of 6.9–7.5) and contained small-sized particles of clay and silt, thus indicating their suitability for mineral carbonation reactions. Samples were composed of important silicate minerals needed for the formation of carbonates such as wollastonite, anorthite, diopside, perovskite, johannsenite, and magnesium aluminum silicate, and the Fe-bearing mineral magnetite. The presence of Fe2O3 (39.6–62.9%) and CaO (7.2–15.2%) indicated the potential of the waste to sequester carbon dioxide because these oxides are important divalent cations for mineral carbonation. The use of small-sized mine-waste particles enables the enhancement of carbonation efficiency, i.e., particles of <38 µm showed a greater extent of Fe and Ca carbonation efficiency (between 1.6–6.7%) compared to particles of <63 µm (0.9–5.7%) and 75 µm (0.7–6.0%). Increasing the reaction temperature from 80 °C to 150–200 °C resulted in a higher Fe and Ca carbonation efficiency of some samples between 0.9–5.8% and 0.8–4.0%, respectively. The effect of increasing the pH from 8–12 was notably observed in Fe carbonation efficiency of between 0.7–5.9% (pH 12) compared to 0.6–3.3% (pH 8). Ca carbonation efficiency was moderately observed (0.7–5.5%) as with the increasing pH between 8–10. Therefore, it has been evidenced that mineralogical and chemical composition were of great importance for the mineral carbonation process, and that the effects of particle size, pH, and temperature of iron mining waste were influential in determining carbonation efficiency. Findings would be beneficial for sustaining the mining industry while taking into account the issue of waste production in tackling the global carbon emission concerns.
