AI Technical Summary
Existing systems for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from CO2 have complex processes, low CO2 utilization and conversion rates, high equipment costs and energy consumption, and numerous byproducts, making it difficult to meet the development needs of green chemistry and carbon reduction.
A three-stage reactor was used, namely the first reactor, the second reactor and the third reactor. CO was produced by reverse water-gas shift, CO was hydrogenated to synthesize methanol, and finally methanol was combined with CO2 to synthesize DMC. The reactors were connected in series in the same experimental device, and H2 was introduced in a reducing atmosphere to improve selectivity.
It improves CO2 conversion rate and DMC yield, simplifies process flow, reduces equipment investment, and has the dual advantages of being green, environmentally friendly, low-carbon, and economical, thereby improving reaction efficiency and product yield.
