CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol: A Techno-Economic Analysis

, Qatar University, QA

Different efforts have been done to mitigate CO2 emissions in the industry in the last decades that involve CO2 capture and storage and/or CO2 capture and utilization techniques. In fact, the advantage of CO2 utilization [...]

Catalytic Decomposition of Methanol Effected by Cu-ZnO@C Nanoreactors

Hong C.-I., Peng C.-Y., Wei Y-L, Jou C.-J.G., Sun I.-W., Paul Wang H., National Cheng Kung University, TW

Decomposition of methanol (DM) to CO and H2 can be catalyzed by Cu-ZnO@C core-shell and Cu-ZnO○yC yolk-shell nanoreactors at 473-573 K. It is found that the reactivity of DM catalyzed by the nanoreactors increases with [...]

Conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol

Rahman G., Chung Y.H., Hallym University, KR

Carbon dioxide has been converted to methanol by means of electrochemical reduction using electrodes of metal oxides. The electrodes used in the conversion of CO2 consisted of Ru/Ir/Co oxides in the atomic ratios of Ru/Ir/Co [...]

Development of Methanol Based Reactive Ion Etching Processes for Nanoscale Magnetic Devices

Moneck M.T., Zhu J.-G., Carnegie Mellon University, US

Recent advances in the area of magnetoelectronics include the development of bit patterned media (BPM) for hard disk drives and the realization of spin transfer torque (STT) devices. As feature sizes shrink to sub-50 nm [...]

Methanol Production for Renewable Energy Storage and Distribution

Bishop W., Consultant, US

Methanol production technology and systems are being developed to provide an economically viable fuel from a renewable energy source. Neither fossil fuel nor biological feedstock is required. The energy is principally used to extract hydrogen [...]
