Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of clean energy utilization and carbon capture and utilization, specifically to a system and method for renewable energy-driven carbon dioxide hydrogenation. Background Technology
[0002] Fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) have provided enormous economic benefits to human society. However, in recent decades, the large-scale combustion of fossil fuels has led to a continuous increase in CO2 emissions, causing serious environmental problems such as global warming. Therefore, researching CO2 capture and catalytic conversion technologies to utilize CO2 resources is an effective way to solve the greenhouse effect, replace fossil fuels, and generate chemicals with higher economic value. This is of great significance to the sustainable development of the world's energy and ecological environment.
[0003] Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, and tidal energy—clean, green, and low-carbon energy sources that are naturally renewable and inexhaustible. These energy sources do not face resource depletion issues and do not pose a threat to the environment, making them an inevitable choice for sustainable development strategies. Using CO2 as a carbon source and clean energy as an energy source not only reduces CO2 emissions but also fully utilizes renewable energy to convert CO2 into high-value-added chemical products, which has significant strategic importance.
[0004] Chinese patent document CN104437504A discloses a catalyst for the efficient conversion of CO2 to low-carbon olefins, the catalyst having the structural formula A-(B(C x Fe y )O z )-Fe / S, where x+y=2, z=3.2~4.2, A is an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal element, B is a divalent ion of a transition metal element, C is a trivalent ion of a transition metal element, and S is the support. A-(B(C) x Fe y )O z Fe is the active ingredient. This paper provides an Fe-based catalyst and its preparation method for the efficient conversion of CO2 to olefins. When the catalyst is used in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction, the main products are low-carbon olefins (propylene, ethylene, and butene), with a CO2 conversion rate exceeding 60%. However, the selectivity for low-carbon olefins in this process remains low, generating large amounts of methane and other long-chain alkanes, resulting in low hydrogen utilization.
